25
Q

What are the issues associated with the transfusion of RhD positive with an RhD negative patient?

A

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction with anemia

26
Q

What is hemolytic disease of the newborn?

A

RhD negative mother has anti-D subsequent pregnancies involved RhD positive mothers, results in IgG anti-D antibodies crossing the placenta, attach to positive RhD positive fetal red blood cells, resulting in hemolysis of fetal cells

27
Q

What is the aim to treat RhD negative patients?

A

Transfuse blood of the same RhD group

28
Q

Which is the most useful blood group?

A

Group O negative (RhD negative)- when the patient blood group is not known.

29
Q

What is antibody screening?

A

Patient screened to exclude any clinically significant immune antibodies

30
Q

What is the screened plasma incubated with?

A

2 or 3 different fully typed screening red cells

31
Q

What have fully typed screening cells?

A

Contains all group antigens

32
Q

What is a negative result?

A

Any donor blood (ABO & RhD compatible) provided

33
Q

What is a positive result?

A

Antibody identified using large panel of red cells, donor units of blood lack corresponding blood antigen are chosen for cross-referencing with recipient plasma prior to transfusion

34
Q

How is blood tested for ABO group?

A

Test with anti-A and Anti-B antibodies

Test with anti-D reagent

35
Q

Which is the age group for donor selection?

A

17-70 years

36
Q

Which groups of donors are excluded from blood donors?

A

Bloodborne diseases (Risk of bacterial, viral or parasitic infections, or drugs)

37
Q

What is the window period of disease?

A

Individuals have pathogen however do not present symptoms or detection

38
Q

What is prion proteins?

A

Lymphocyte membranes and platelets; prions of variant
CJD diease are found in lymphoreitcular tissues
cjd transmitted by transfusions of blood or blood products in humans, developmentof vCJD

39

What is added to the blood packets?

A

Anti-coagulant

41
Q

What is present within the blood packets?

A

platelets, red cells, and factor VIII

42
Q

What is component therapy?

A

Transfusing units of red cells, conducted by centrifuing, apply pressure to each layer, separating the relevant blood units.

43
Q

What is one blood unit?

A

Whole blood-derived from one single blood donation

44
Q

What is packed with red cells?

A
