A

Can only Perform if:
No antibody in history
Negative Screen

33
Q

Extended Crossmatch

A

Perform if:
Antibody in history
Positive screen

34

A

Can only perform if:
A type and retype has been performed (on patient and pRBC)
No history of antibodies
Negative screen

35
Q

Causes of Incompatible Crossmatches - RBC products

A

ABO Incompatibility
Patient alloantibody reacting with Donor Cells
Patient autoantibody reacting with Donor Cells
Positive DAT on Donor Cells
Rouleaux

36
Q

Selection of Blood Products for Transfusion

A

ABO Compatibility
Rh Specificity
Antigen Negative Blood
Labeling of Crossmatched Units

37
Q

ABO Compatibility

A

ABO/Rh specific if possible
ABO Compatible
- If whole blood, must match FFP and pRBC ABO requirements
- If pRBC must match ABO requirements only

38
Q

Rh Specificity

A

IF patient is Rh neg, must give Rh negative pRBC

39
Q

Antigen Negative Blood

A

Donor pRBC MUST be Antigen negative for corresponding patient antibodies
ex/ patient is anti-C, must receive C negative blood

40
Q

Labeling of Crossmatched Units

A

Receive a patient specific tag (pulled from “general” supply)

41
Q

Length of Time Blood Can be Checked Out

A

30 minutes if not used (length of time out of fridge to avoid bacterial proliferation)
If using cooler, can be maintained for 7-8 hours
** PLATELETS NEVER GO IN COOLER **

42
Q

Types of Transfusion

A

Routine Transfusion
Autologous Transfusion
Massive Transfusion
Emergency Transfusion
Neonatal Transfusion

43
Q

Routine Transfusion

A

Random Donor
Directed Donations

44
Q

Autologous Transfusion

A

Patient’s own blood

45
Q

Massive Transfusion

A

Replacement of 1 or more blood volumes in 24 hrs
Exchange Transfusion in Neonate
** Requirement to follow transfusion protocol after 5 units **

46
Q

Emergency Transfusion

A

Negative pRBCs (O negative and AB plasma)
Uncrossmatched

47
Q

Neonatal Transfusion

A

49
Q

Routine Crossmatch, Negative Antibody Screen

A

ABO/Rh - no weak D required
IAT - negative
XM - US only (verify ABO compatibility)
ABO/Rh verify - performed by another tech (retype)

50
Q

Routine Crossmatch, Positive Antibody Screen

A

ABO/Rh - no weak D required
IAT - positive
Antibody Identification panel - must identify antibodies
Antigen type patient - patient should be negative for antigen corresponding with antibody
Antigen type units - Antigen negative units required in some cases
XM - extended, including AHG
ABO/Rh verify - retype

51
Q

Routine Crossmatch, Autologous Units

A

ABO/Rh - No weak D required
IAT - if positive, perform antibody identification
Units are not XM, but assigned to the patient
ABO/Rh - retype

52
Q

Routine Crossmatch, add on to current specimen

A

Crossmatch sample is valid for 72 hrs
- ABO/Rh - always perform when sample is removed from storage
- IAT - not repeated
- XM - IS or extended, depending on original IAT results

53
Q

Type and Screen - no units requested

A

ABO/Rh - no weak D required
IAT - if positive, perform antibody identification
- IAT is positive, call physician and inform (may request units)
ABO/Rh - retype

54
Q

Retype of ABO/Rh

A

No previous record of patient
Sample is removed from storage for additional testing
Take over another tech’s work

55
Q

Neonate Crossmatch

A

ABO/Rh - no reverse group or weak D required
IAT - usually also include A1 and B cells (looking for maternal anti A and/or B, if positive, identify antibody)
XM - unit is usually not crossmatched, but assigned to neonate or aliquots of a unit are used, if antibodies are present must be considered in crossmatch

56
Q

Neonate Definition

A

Less than 4 months of age

57
Q

Neonate Sample

A
