patients experiencing accidents

117
Q

T or F: the half-life of coagulation factors are the same

A

false; it varies, because there are labile in certain conditions while some are stable

118
Q

if the patient needs cellular element and volume expansion, what is the best blood component to be given?

A

the whole blood

119
Q

if there is no centrifuge, how can you separated pRBCs from whole blood?

A

sedimentation

120
Q

how is sedimantation done?

A

allow the blood bag to stand and the RBCs will then sink at the bottom of the tube due to gravity

121
Q

disadvantage of sedimentation

A

time consuming

122
Q

why do pRBCs have better adjustment compared to whole blood?

A

because the RBC is already separated

123
Q

127
Q

consequences of transfusing unwashed rbc

A

allergic reactions
transfusion reactions

128
Q

most of the storage lesions are caused by

A

RBC metabolism

129
Q

RBC storage lesion: explain why there is decreased pH

A

active metabolism result to increased acidity

130
Q

RBC storage lesion: explain why there is increased K and hgb

A

lysed RBCs during storage release K and hgb

131
Q
