Q

If there is a <5000 increase with a 6 pack of platelets this suggests what

A

alloimmunization, so tx is ABO matched platelets, and if still < 5000 check panel reactive antibody for HLA antibodies (may need HLA matched platelets)

Q

What is plasmapheresis used for

A

removes immunoglobulins (eg TTP)

19
Q

symptoms and tx for febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

MC transfusion reaction, Sx’s of fever and rigors 0-6 hrs after transfusion, preformed recipient Ab’s against donor WBC’s, causes cytokine release, tx=stop transfusion, tylenol (R/O infx, and hemolysis), WBC filters for subsequent transfusions.

20
Q

symptoms and tx for transfusion allergic reaction

A

MC sx - urticaria (rash), rare anaphylaxis (sx’s - bronchospasm and hypotension) reaction to plasma proteins in blood product, MCC - IgA deficient pt (w/ preformed Ab’s to IgA) receiving IgA blood, Tx: urticaria - diphenhydramine, H2 blockers, and Anaphylaxis - epinephrine, fluids, possible steroids.

21
Q

Sx and tx for delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

sx’s-usually minimal (often goes unnoticed), possibly unexplained fever, jaundice, or drop in hct, usually get sx’s 5-10 days after transfusion. Preformed recipient Ab’s against donor minor RBC antigens HLA, urinalysis shows urobilinogenuria, W/U includes LFT’s, clotting and red cell antibody screens, Tx: nonspecific, Dx important for future transfusion HLA match next time.

22
Q

Sx and Tx of transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI)

A

Sx’s - hypoxia, diffuse alveolar infiltrates, fever, non cardiogenic pulmonary edema < 6 hours after transfusion, Donor Ab’s bind recipient WBCs and lodge in lung release mediators causing increased capillary permeability. Tx: may require intubation, tx same as ARDS

23
Q

Sxs, Dx and Tx for acute hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

sx’s: fever, hypotension, tachycardia, flank pain, hematuria, can lead to renal failure, shock and DIC, anesthetized pts can present as diffuse bleeding.
Cause: ABO incompatibility, preformed recipient Ab’s against donor RBCs, results in acute hemolysis.
Dx: haptoglobin < 50 (binds Hgb, then gets degraded), free hemoglobin > 5, increased unconjugated bilirubin.
Tx: stop transfusion, fluid resuscitation for BP and to maintain good UOP, Diuretics (lasix and mannitol), HCO3 to prevent Hgb precipitation in kidney and ATN, Pressors for refractory hypotension.

24
Q

what is incidence of fatal hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

1:500,000

25
Q

MCC of death from transfusion reaction

A

clerical error resulting in ABO compatibility

26
Q

what causes non immune hemolysis

A

from squeezing the blood bag and severity of transfusion reactions are inversely proportional to frequency

27
Q

What is rate of bacterial infection complication in platelets transfusion

A

1:50,000

28
Q

what is rate of bacterial infection complication in pRBC transfusions

A

29
Q

What is rate of Hep B complications with transfusions

A

30
Q

What is rate of Hep C infectious complication with transfusions

what is rate of HIV in transfusions

A

5 days

34
Q

what is MC bacterial contaminant in transfusions

A

GNRs (MC E. coli)

35
Q

What transfusion problems does cold body temp cause

A

poor clotting due to slowing of enzymatic reactions

36
Q

What is treatment for dilutional thrombocytopenia due to pRBC transfusion

A

platelets

37
Q

Treatment for hypocalcemia due to massive transfusion

A

calcium for Ca is required for clotting cascade

38
Q

What type of antibodies develop in 20% after 10-20 plt transfusion

A

antiplatelet antibodies

39
Q

Fx of hetastarch (he span)

A

40

All blood products carry risk of HIV and Hepatitis except

A

albumin and immunoglobulins (these are heat treated)

41
Q

chagas disease can be transmitted with ?

A

blood transfusions

42
