Blood Bank Exam 3 Flashcards
Terminology:
Blood unit collected as donation for someone other than the donor
Allogeneic or Homologous
Terminology:
Blood collected and labeled for a specific patient
Directed blood collection
Terminology:
Collection of blood for self use
Autologous
Terminology:
Only a specific group of cells are collected (platelets, granulocytes, stem cells)
Cytopheresis or Apheresis
Preferred method for platelet collection
Apheresis/Cytopheresis
Minimum donor weight
110 lbs
Maximum removal for donation from 110 lbs (minimum weight)
525 mL
What is the calculation to determine how much blood can be donated for someone weighing less than 110 lbs?
(donor’s weight x 450) / 110
A unit of whole blood contains how many mLs?
450 mL +/- 45 mL
If a donor weighs 100 pounds, what is the allowable amount?
(100 x 450) / 110 = 409 mL
How much anticoagulant is in each unit?
63 mL
What is the calculation to determine the amount of anticoagulant a unit needs?
(allowable amount of blood x 14) / 100
How much anticoagulant would be needed for a 400 mL draw? How much would anticoagulant would need to be removed from the unit?
(400 x 14) / 100 = 56 mL anticoagulant needed.
63 - 56 = 7 mL needs to be removed from the unit

Where is it required to be at least 17 years old to donate? (4)
-Delaware
-Connecticut
-District of Columbia
-Florida
How often can you donate whole blood?
Every 56 days (8 weeks)
How often can you donate through apheresis?
After 48 hours
Terminology:
Donor will never be eligible to donate for someone else but they may donate autologous blood
Permanent deferral
Terminology:
Donor is unable to donate for someone else for an unspecified period of time due to current regulatory requirements
Indefinite deferral
Terminology:
Donor is unable to donate blood for someone else for an unspecified period of time due to current regulatory requirements. Usually due to recent tattoo, piercing, vaccinations, etc.
Temporary deferral
Which medication results in a deferral for 30 days?
Accutane
Which over the counter medication is not ok within 3 days of platelet pheresis?
Aspirin
If a patient has ever had bovine insulin manufactured in the United Kingdom, what would their deferral status be?
Permanent deferral
Length of deferral for tattoo or permanent makeup
3 months (used to be 12 months)
Length of deferral after receiving the MMR vaccine
4 weeks (mumps and measles are 2 weeks but rubella is 4 weeks)
Length of deferral after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine
28 days
Length of deferral after receiving Hepatitis B immunoglobulin
12 months
0.7% aqueous scrub solution and what else are the 2 scrub solutions used for collection
10% povidone-iodine
Most common adverse donor reaction
Vasovagal
Terminology:
Tingling of lips during apheresis due to citrate
Paresthesia
How is paresthesia treated?
Tums to replace calcium
TRUE or FALSE:
Weak D testing is not a requirement for donor unit processing
FALSE - it prevents a weak D positive unit from being labeled as Rh negative
Which comes first: Hard spin or soft spin?
Soft spin
What does a soft spin centrifuge accomplish?
Separates platelet rich plasma from red cells
What is the hard spin centrifuge performed on? What’s the end result?
Hard spin is performed on the platelet rich plasma and results in platelet poor plasma that is frozen for FFP and platelets
How long is the soft spin and what RPM?
2800 RPM for 3 minutes
How long is the hard spin and what RPM?
3800 RPM for 6 minutes
TRUE or FALSE:
When a hospital receives a donor unit, they must repeat the ABO and Rh
TRUE
These decrease as red cells are stored (4)
-Glucose
-ATP
-pH
-2,3-DPG
These increase as red cells are stored
-Lactic acid
-plasma hemoglobin
-plasma potassium
What causes an increase in plasma hemoglobin and plasma potassium as red cells are stored?
Cell lysis
All of the current anticoagulants can maintain 2,3-DPG for how long?
1 week
What is the expiration for blood products with CPD or CP2D?
21 days
What is the expiration of blood products with CPDA?
35 days
Why does CPDA extend blood product expiration from 21 days to 35 when compared to CPD/CP2D?
Adenine nucleotide pool increases synthesis of ATP
CPD and CP2D stand for?
Citrate-Phosphate-Dextrose
