PACKED RED BLOOD CELLS - REACTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

A
  • REACTIONS LESS COMMON THAN WITH WHOLE BLOOD
  • COMPANION SOLUTION = 0.9% NaCl
  • GIVE OVER 2-4HR
  • USE WITHIN 4 HR MAX
  • USE STANDARD BLOOD FILTER
  • GIVEN WHEN LOW HEMOGLOBIN AND LOW HEMATOCRIT
  • > 7 = DEADLY, SHOCK
  • 1 UNIT PRBC = INCREASE HEMOGLOBIN LEVELS BY 1

Q

DISCUSS ALLERGIC REACTION HYPERSENSITIVITY

A

CAUSE: HYPERSENSITIVITY TO ANTIBODIES IN DONOR BLOOD
SYMPTOMS: OCCURS IMMEDIATELY OR WITHIN 24 HR. MILD - URTICARIA, ITCHING, FLUSHING. ANAPHYLAXIS - HYPOTENSION, DYSPNEA, DECREASED OXYGEN SATURATION, FLUSHING.
CONSIDERATIONS: PRE-MEDICATE WITH ANTIHISTAMINES, STOP THE TRANSFUSION, RESTART THE 0.9% NaCl, NOTIFY HCP. SUPPORTIVE CARE - DIPHENHYDRAMINE, O2, CORTICOSTEROIDS.

Q

WHAT ARE AUTOLOGOUS TRANSFUSIONS - BENEFITS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

A

A PRE-OPERATIVE DONATION COLLECTED 4-6 WEEKS BEFORE SURGERY IN WHICH THE CLIENT RECEIVES THEIR OWN BLOOD FOR THEIR TRANSFUSION. IRON SUPPLEMENTS MAY BE ORDERED.
BENEFITS: PREVENTION OF VIRAL INFECTION FROM DONATED BLOOD. USED FOR CLIENTS WITH HX OF TRANSFUSION REACTIONS. RARE BLOOD TYPE.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: ACUTE INFECTION. CHRONIC DISEASE. HEMOGLOBIN LESS THAN 11g/L, HEMATOCRIT LESS THAN 33%. CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
