Q

How to calculate fetal bleeding and dose of RhiG to give

A
  1. Stain and count the cells out of 2000 (#/2000= %)
  2. % x 50ml/30
  3. Round the calculated dose then add 1 = required RhIG

21
Q

Are ABO antibodies naturally occurring?

A

Yes

22
Q

How many A individuals are A1

A

80%

23
Q

Antibody vs antigen

A

Antigens are on the RBCs (blood types are determined by the absence or presence of the antigen)
Antibodies are in the patients plasma (confirm blood type)

24
Q

Anti-Jka

A

IgG, clinically significant, implicated in hemolytic transfusion reactions and HDFN, common cause of delayed HT, Kidd antibodies decline in reactivity

25
Q

What are the steps in transfusion reaction investigation

A

Clerical check
Visual check- hemolysis
Post ABO
Post DAT

26
Q

Know which sugars go with which antigens (A, etc.)

A

Antigen A- N-acetylgalactosamine
Antigen B- D- Galactose
Antigen AB – N- Acetylgalactosamine and D- Galactose
Antigen O- none

27
Q

How much should a patient’s plt (platelet) count go up when given one unit of plts? Same with rbcs and hemoglobin and hematocrit.

A

RBCs- 1 unit increases patient Hgb by 1 g/dL to Hct by 3%
Plts- each dose of Plts should increase the patients count by 27,000-67,000/uL

28
Q

Know about the correct storage temperature for different types of blood products

A

RBCs- 1 to 6ºc
Plts- 20-24ºC
Cryo and plasma - -18ºC or lower
Plasma thawed is 1-6ºC
Cryo thawed is room temp

29
Q

What are the universal donors for red cells and plasma?

A

Universal RBC donor is O-
Universal Plasma donor is AB

30
Q

Know about what leukoreduction does

A

To remove 99.9% of leukocytes from RBCs and Plts
The goal is <5 x 10^6

31
Q

Know about the IAT and DAT

A

IAT is in vitro looking for free floating antibodies
DAT is in vivo looking for already bound antigens

32
Q

Know differences between ABO HDFN and Rh HDFN

A

Most common cause of HDFN is ABO and the first pregnancy is usually affected
Most sever HDFN is Rh and first pregnancy isn’t usually affected

33
Q

Understand why you would give each type of blood product (e.g. increase in oxygen carrying capacity)

A

RBC are given to increase O2 carrying capacity and increase Hgb/Hct
Plts are given to increase plt count
Plasma is given to increase coag factors, treatment of liver disease/failure and treat DIC
Cryo- is used as a fibrinogen replacement and contains factor XIII and is used to treat factor XIII deficiency

34
Q

Understand the difference between homozygous and heterozygous

A

Homozygous cells give a stronger reaction (CC)
Heterozygous cells give a weaker reaction (Cc)

35
Q

How long is a crossmatch sample good for?

A

72 hours or 3 days

36
Q

What tests are required on donor blood?

A

ABO/RH, Antibody screen, HbsAg, Anti-HBc, Anti HCV-NAT, Anti-HIV-1/2and NAT, Anti-HTLV-I/II, WNV RNA, Syphilis, T. Cruzi, plt bacteria detection

37
Q

Most of the population is what 2 blood types

A

A+ and O +

38
Q

Cold agglutinins

A

Preform prewarming techniques to fix problems
Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria- Positive one the Donath-landsteiner test. In children and young adults
Cold hemagglutinin disease- In elderly or middle age adults, negative for the Donath-landsteiner test
Pathological cold antibodies are clinically significant

39
Q

Which antibodies do not react at 37 degrees C or AHG?

A

I, i, Lea, Leb, P1, Lua, M, N

40
Q

Know about the Donath-Landsteiner test

A

A test which is used to confirm PCH. The test involves collecting fresh blood from a patient and seperated into 3 sets of 3 tubes mixed with O RBCs that express the P antigen. Tubes A1-C1 and A2-C3 will be positive, tubes A3-C3 will be negative

41
Q

What is the crossmatching protocol for plts and/or plasma?

A

There is none. Plasma products don’t have RBC antigens. They only have antibodies

42
Q

Why do we do serological testing of blood products?

A

Type and screen- blood type
Antibody detection and identification
Cross match

43
Q

Why do we irradiate blood products?

A

To prevent GVHD in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients

44
Q

Why do we leukoreduce prbcs?

A

Prevent graft vs host disease
Prevent febrile non hemolytic transfusion reactions
Prevent or delay the development of HLA antibodies
Reduce the risk of transmission CMV

45
Q

Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

rapid destruction of RBCs within 24hrs
Hypotension, shock, acute renal failure

46
Q

Transfusion-Associated Sepsis

A

bacterially contaminated blood
Temp increase >2º, profound hypotension

47
Q

Febrile Non-hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

Cytokines or WBC cause recipient reaction
1ºC increase in body temp, increase blood pressure

48
Q

Allergic Transfusion reaction

A

A

Lele, Se, A/B/H gene

53
Q

Know criteria for IS crossmatches
