blood transfusion Flashcards
needs for blood transfusion
acute hemorrhage, replacing vascular volume, whole blood transfusions, coagulopathies, vWD
fresh whole blood (FWB)
unit of blood that has been obtained within 8 hours prior to administration
fresh whole blood contains
all cellular and plasma components of blood, P who need red blood cells, plasma, and platelets
stored whole blood
still contains all cellular and plasma components of blood, stored at 4 degrees, kept up to 28 days
stored whole blood for patients who are
anemic or hypoproteinemic
packed red blood cells (pRBC)
unit of blood that has red blood cells separated from plasma content within 8 hours of collection
pRBC should be kept at
4 degrees for up to 42 days
pRBC can be used in patients who are
anemic
fresh frozen plasma (FFP)
unit of blood where RBC are separated from plasma which remain
FFP is viable up to
a year, stored between 20-40 degrees C
FFP contains
coag factors, albumin, and proteins
FFP is used for
secondary coagulopathies, rodenticide poisoning, liver failure, DIC, and parvo
frozen or stored plasma (SP)
frozen plasma stored at 20-40 degrees C, viable up to 2 years
indications for SP
hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia
cryoprecipitate
contains high levels of fibrinogen, fibronectin, factor VIII, vWF
cryoprecipitate is used for
coagulopathies due to plasma protein deficiencies
cryoprecipitate poor plasma
indicated in patients that are hypoproteinemic but the risk of synthetic plasma expanders outweighs the benefit.
