Blood Components and Sub Flashcards
Antithrombin III deficiency
May give FFP to help get antithrombin III
Whole blood
For acute hemorrhage of 25% or more
RBC transfusion objective
Improvement of inadequate oxygen delivery
Diminished OXygen carrying capacity
Ischemic effects on heart and brain
Transfuse patient with HF or with decreased
Higher threshold
Patient with those medications are at known risk for decreased CO
Beta blockade
Non DHP CCB
Hemoglobin concentration increase will
increase O2 delivery
DO2
CaO2 x CO
Loss of 15%
Class 1 little hemodynamic effect other than vasoconstriction and mild tachycardia
Loss of 15-30%
Class 2 Tachycardia decrease pulse pressure
Loss 30-40%
healthy patients give
Class III hemorrhage, signs of hypovolemia, marked tachy, tachypnea
Crystalloids
Loss of more than 40%
life threatening, transfused
Acute anemia: O2 delivery adequate at hemoglobin concentration
as low as 7g/dl
Chronic anemia
better tolerated than acute
CO in chronic anemia does not change until
below 7g/dl
acute anemia no reductio in arterial O2 because
Well compensate in increased in CO
Factors that affect CO
Left Ventricular dysfunction
hypothermia
Vasoactive (BBlockers, CCB, anesthetics)
Effective of RBC transfusion
Keyword: NONBLEEDING
NON-bleeding, 1 unit of RBC
1g increase Hct by 3%
However, for anemia relationship with
Perioperative anemia with MI
Transfusion recommendations
Rarely indicated if hbg more than 10
Less than 6 when the anemia is acute.
The determinants of intermediate:
The determination of whether intermediate hemoglobin concentrations (6-10g/dl) justify or require RBC transfusion should be based on the patient’s risk for complications of
inadequate oxygenation
Most anesthetics cause
myocardial depression and
decrease arterial BP, cardiac output, stroke volume,
PVR.
The use of a single transfusion “trigger”
(i.e.. 10/30 rule) for all patients is not
recommended.
Hemoglobin <6 g/dL – T.
Transfusion recommended except in exceptional circumstances.
● Hemoglobin 6 to 7 g/dL
– Transfusion generally likely to be indicated
● Hemoglobin 7 to 8 g/dL –
Transfusion may be appropriate in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery or cardiac surgery, and in those with
stable cardiovascular disease, after evaluating the patient’s clinical status.
● Hemoglobin 8 to 10 g/dL
– Transfusion generally not indicated, but should be considered for some populations (eg, those with
symptomatic anemia, ongoing bleeding, acute coronary syndrome with ischemia, and hematology/oncology patients with severe thrombocytopenia who are at risk of bleeding).
● Hemoglobin >10 g/dL –
Transfusion generally not indicated except in exceptional circumstances.
