Chapters 9 and 11 Flashcards
Exam 5
Involves all the step in the identification and testing of a donor unit and a proposed recipient’s blood
Compatibility testing
Routinely only performed with donor products that contain red blood cells (RBC units)
Crossmatch
This is performed for RBC transfusion
Crossmatch
This procedure involved mixing RBC’s from donor unit with plasma from transfusion recipient
Crossmatch
What is the interpretation of when there is no agglutination observed indicating no interaction between donor RBCs and patient plasma
Compatible
What is the interpretation of when there agglutination observed indicating interaction between donor RBC and patient’s plasma
Incompatible
Crossmatch serves as what?
Double check of ABO errors and provides a 2nd means of detecting antibodies and checks antibody screen
What does crossmatch design to detect?
donor units that are unlikely to survive normally once transfused.
This standard and regulation governing the crossmatch must be performed using patient’s plasma and RBCs taken from a segment originally attached to the blood product bag
AABB
This crossmatch is performed when the recipient has no evidence of an antibody in the current sample or historical record
IS crossmatching
This crossmatch use recipient serum and donor RBC suspension are mixed and immediately centrifuged
IS crossmatch
This test has all phases (IS, 37C, AHG) performed if the patient demonstrates a clinically significant antibody in the current samples or in the historical record.
Antiglobulin test.
What are limitations of crossmatch
Acceptable crossmatch does not guarantee a successful transfusion outcome.
Demonstrates ABO incompatibility and clinically significant antibodies to RBC antigens
Crossmatching
D negative units should be given to what recipients
D negative recipients.
Antigen negative blood should be given if what is formed
Anti-D antibody
Antigen-negative units are recommended for the following antibodies
ABO, Rh, Kell, Duffy, Kidd
Blood products may be reissued if the closure has not been entered and
Unit has been kept between the upper and lower temperature conditions of 1-10C
Unit was stored at room temp and returned within 30 minutes
What is massive transfusion
Total volume exchange of blood within 24 hours.
What products do not need to be crossmatched and why
Plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate. Does not contain RBC due to no antigens present
transfusion safety measures are incorporated at all steps of blood collection, donor processing, and transfusion protocols but complications of transfusion occur and not always preventable.
Adverse transfusion reaction
This model is used to track, analyze, and ultimately improve transfusion outcomes. Reported on a monthly basis
Hemovigilance model
