22
Q

How many units triggers a massive transfusion protocol?

23
Q

Describe a massive transfusion protocol

A
  • 1 unit FFP per unit pRBCs (catch up if needed)
  • 1 unit platelets and 1 unit cryo every 10 units
24
Q

Name for massive transfusion in neonates

A

Exchange Transfusion

25
Q

Emergency Transfusion allows

A

uncrossmatched O negative pRBCs to be given

26
Q

Who can receive uncrossmatched O positive pRBCs in an emergency?

A

Males and women over 65

27
Q

TACO

A
  • “Transfusion Associated Circulatory Overload”
  • most common in elderly and infants
28
Q

TRALI

A
  • “Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury”
  • Anti-WBC antibodies
29
Q

PTP

A
  • “Post Transfusion Purpura”
  • platelet allo-antibody

30
Q

Immediate Intravascular Hemolysis

A
  • IgM (via complement), IgG, or ABO mixup
  • anti-A, K, Jka, Fya are most common
    we don’t talk about Bruno nonono
31
Q

Delayed Extravascular Hemolysis

A
  • anamnestic response
  • Rh antibodies, anti-Jka, K, Fya
  • 3-7 days post txn
32
Q

Damage to Transfused Cells

A
  • Heat Damage (blood warmers, storage)
  • Physical Damage (pumps, heart valves, ECMO)
33
Q

What would indicate a “dead” unit on visual inspection?

A

Brown, purple, clotted, or severely hemolyzed

34
Q

Proceed to Extended Evaluation if:

A
  • Discrepancy in Clerical Check
  • Post DAT pos and pre DAT neg or weaker
  • Visual hemolysis in post sample
  • Post serum HGB is 20mg/dL higher than Pre
35
Q

If there are RBCs in the urine with a transfusion reaction

A

it likely is unrelated to the reaction

36
Q

Transfusion Reaction Reporting

A
  • physician
  • blood bank director
  • accrediting agencies
  • (if fatal) FDA
  • (if fatal) Center for Biologic Evaluation & Research
37
Q

If a post-transfusion reaction sample is hemolyzed

A

call for second collection to eliminate possibility of phlebotomist error

38
Q

Febrile Transfusion Reaction

A
  • > 1 degree C rise in temp (fever)

A

Rh and ‘other’

42
Q

Critical antibody titer level

43
Q

How can you tell allo-anti-D from Rhogam on an IAT?

A

You can’t. You need patient history.

44
Q

A

bile pigment, measured with optical density at 450 nm

47
Q

PUB sample testing

A

  • needle guided with ultrasound, drawn from umbilical vein
48
Q

Fetal Lung Maturity

A

Ratio of Lecithin to Sphingomyelin (L/S Ratio)
- >2.0:1 = mature
- 1.5:1 = 40% chance of respiratory distress
- <1.5:1 = 70% chance of respiratory distress

49
Q

FMH Screen

A
  • “Fetal Maternal Hemorrhage”
  • Positive = >15mL fetal bleed, reflex to KB stain
50
Q

KB Stain

A
  • “Kleihauer Betke”
