Blood Products and Transfusion Flashcards
What is the “volume” of the blood?
- Plasma
What percentage of blood volume is made up by plasma?
- 55%
Which blood product has an ↑ risk of infection and why?
- Pooled packs d/t being from multiple donors
If we had to pick one thing to transfuse what would it be?
- whole blood
What blood type is a universal donor? Universal acceptor?
- Donor = O neg
- Acceptor = AB +
Which patient is the potential exception to accepting blood from an O- donor? If we have to how can we compensate for this?
- Pregant women d/t fetus possibly being O+
- Rhogam
What are 2 Hb related issues we will see often in clinical settings?
- β thalassemia → Hb Barts
- α thalassemia → Hb H
What are the possible blood antigen types? What are possible Rh factors?
- Antigen → A B AB O
- Rh → Rh+ (85%) and Rh- (15%)
What 4 things can cause a right shift of the OxyHb curve?
- ↓ pH
- ↑ CO2
- ↑ temp
- ↑ 23-DPG
T or F: If our O2saturation is good so is our PO2?
- False → O2sat has nothing to do with PO2(could have 1 Hb fully saturated)
For blood type O which Antigen is present on erythrocyte and which Antibody is in the serum?
- Antigen: non
- Antibody: Anti-A and Anti-B
For blood type AB which Antigen is present on erythrocyte and which Antibody is in the serum?
- Antigen: A and B
- Antibody: none
For blood type B which Antigen is present on erythrocyte and which Antibody is in the serum?
- Antigen: B
- Antibody: Anti-A
For blood type A which Antigen is present on erythrocyte and which Antibody is in the serum?
- Antigen: A
- Antibody: Anti-B
AB donor blood will react with which other blood types?
- A B and O
B donor blood will react with which blood types?
- A
- O
A donor blood will react with which blood types?
- B
- O
O donor blood will react with which blood types?
- none
When whole blood is centrifuged what separation products result? What happens if we centrifuge the PRP again?
- Platelet rich plasma (PRP)
- WBC
- RBC
- Centrifuge PRP again → Separates plasma from platelets
Where is PRP used in surgery?
- Surgeon injects locally → ortho dental plastics cases commonly
What are the 5 different blood components we can use for treatments?
- RBC
- FFP
- Cryo
- PLT
- LTOWB - Low titer Group O Whole Blood
What is the lifespan of WB?
- about 3 wks
What chemicals are added to blood that allows it to be stored?
- CPDA-1 → Citrate phosphate dextrose adenine chelates Ca++ to prevent clotting
- Phosphate → used as buffer
- Dextrose → fuel source
- Adenine → to support ATP synthesis (extends storage from 21 to 35 days)
Due to the chemicals used to allow blood to be stored what labs do we need to check when transfusing lots of blood?
- Ca++ (it will ↓)
- BG (it will ↑)
Which electrolyte will stored blood always have ↑ levels of? Why?
- K+ d/t cells lysing as they degrade in the bag
What happens to 23-DPG in stored blood? What does this do to the OxyHb association curve?
- Longer stored 23-DPG ↓
- Left shift → impairs O2 delivery
PRBCs contain ______ unless they have been specifically ________?
- leukocytes
- leukoreduced
How much does 1 unit of PRBCs ↑ H&H level?
- Hb: ↑ 1 g/dL
- Hct: ↑ 3%
Which blood transfusion product is a source of antithrombin III?
- FFP
What is the dose of FFP?
- 10-15 mL/kg
How much will 1 unit of FFP ↑ level of each clotting factor?
- ↑ 2 to 3% for each factor
What are two specific uses of FFP Dr. C mentioned in class?
- Heparin resistance d/t antithrombin deficiency
- Treat angioedema (also use TXA along with FFP)
