Blood Component Preparation & Therapy Flashcards
Blood collection bags
special plastic that allows for the proper mix of gases, nutrients, & anticoagulants
63 ml anticoagulant + 450 +/- ml whole blood
Double bag system
primary bag + satellite bag
for whole blood & separation of 2 different blood components
RBCS + Plasma
Triple bag system
primary bag + 2 satellite bags
whole blood collection & separation of 3 different components
RBCS+ Plasma + buffy coat
Quad bag system
primary bag + 3 satellite bags
whole blood collection & separation of 4 different components
RBCs, plasma, CRYO, & platelets
K+ during storage
when RBCs are old & lysed K+ is released into the unit
patients with heart problems are at risk with transfusing ‘old’ units
less than 7 days old are transfused into people with cardiac issues
ATP during storage
ATP is needed to maintain membrane integrity
ATP levels decrease with the age of the unit
2,3-DPG during storage
decreased with age of unit
needed for effective release of o2 in tissues
neonates require blood <7 days old bc of this
CPD
citrate-phosphate-dextrose
CP2D
citrate-phosphate-2x dextrose
CPDA-1
citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine
most often used
Dextrose purpose
supports ATP generation by glycolytic pathway
Adenine purpose
acts as substrate for RBC ATP synthesis
Citrate purpose
prevents coagulation by chelating calcium, also protects RBC membrane
Sodium biphosphate purpose
prevents excessive decrease in pH
Mannitol
osmotic diuretic acts as membrane stabilizer
AS-1 or AS-5
dextrose, adenine, mannitol, & saline
AS-3
dextrose, adenine, saline, citrate
