Donor Questionnaire Flashcards
What is donor deferral?
The donor is not allowed to donate a blood product for a specified period of time
Could the blood drawn from the donor be potentially harmful to the recipient?

Define Pre-Operative autologous collection?
- self donation before surgery
Define Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution
- is a blood conservation technique that entails the removal of blood from a patient, either immediately before or shortly after the induction of anesthesia. A predetermined amount of the patient’s blood is slowly drained inside a closed system, while being replaced with fluids to maintain adequate volume. The blood lost during surgery is diluted – resulting in the loss of less red blood cells. After the procedure is completed the Anesthesiologist returns the removed blood to the patient.
Define Intraoperative collection
Intraoperative cell salvage involves collection of blood lost during surgery using a suction device. The blood is centrifuged and washed so that only concentrated red cells are collected and returned to the patient. Blood is usually returned to the patient intraoperatively but this can continue postoperatively.
Define post operative cell salvage
In this procedure, either blood from a postoperative drain or chest tube is collected and then returned with microaggregate filtering alone or
the blood is washed, concentrated, and then returned.

Define Temporary deferral
Donor is unable to donate for a limited period of time due to current health state or risk for infectious diseases (2 weeks to 3 years)
