Which blood products do not carry the risk of HIV and hepatitis because they are heat treated?
albumin and serum globulins
Who gets CMV-negative blood?
low birth-weight infants, bone marrow transplant pts and other transplant pts
What is the number one cause of death from transfusion reaction?
Clerical error leading to ABO incompatibility
Stored blood is low in ____ causing a left-shift
2,3 DPG
Back pain, chills, tachycardia, fever, hemoglobinuria in pt that has been transfused. May present as diffuse bleeding in anesthetized patient.
acute hemolysis (ABO incompatibility, antibody mediated)
What is the treatment for acute hemolysis (ABO incompatibility)
fluids, diruetics, HCO3-, pressors, histamine blockers
What is the most common transfusion reaction and what is the pathophys?
febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction. recipient antibody reaction against WBCs in donor blood
What is the treatment for febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction?
stop transfusion and use WBC filters for subsequent transfusions
Anaphylaxis after transfusion. What is usually the pathophys?a and was is the tx?
Usually IgG against IgA in IgA-deficient patient. Tx: fluids, Lasix, pressors, steroids, epi, histamin blockers
What is the pathophys of transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI)?
antibodies to recipient’s WBCs, clot in pulmonary capillaries
Dilutional thrombocytopenia occurs after transfusion of ___ units of PRBCs.
10
What electrolyte abnormality can occur with massive transfusion?
hypocalcemia
Antiplatelet antibodies develop in ___% of pts after 10-20 platelet transfusions
20
Hetastarch (Hespan) can be used up to ___ L without the risk of bleeding complications.
1
Most common bacterial contaminate of transfused blood?
GNRs usually e. coli
Most common blood product source of contamination?
platelets (not refrigerated)
What parasitic disease can be transmitted with blood transfusion?
chagas disease
What is the most common blood type?
O+
Predominant release of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-2, INF-gamma). Involved in cell-mediated responses
Th1 helper T cells (CD4)
Predominant release of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 -> inhibits macrophages). Involved in atopy and allergic responses.
Th2 helper T cells (CD4)
IL-___ causes B-cell maturation into plasma cells (antibody secreting).
4
IL-___ causes maturation of cytotoxic T cells
2
Recognize and attack non-self antigens attached to MHC class I receptors (e.g. viral gene products)
Cytotoxic T cells (CD8)
Infections associated with defects in ___ immunity - intracellular pathogens (TB, viruses)
cell-mediated
Can increase T-cell mediated immunity.
Nucleotides
What are the types of MHC class I
A, B and C
What are the types of MHC class II
DR, DP and DQ
CD8 cell activation. Present on all nucleated cells. Single chain with 5 domains. Target for cytotoxic T cells.
MHC class I
CD4-cell activation. Present on B cells, dendrites, monocytes, and antigen-presenting cells. 2 chains with 4 domains each. Activator for helper T cells. Stimulate antibody formation.
MHC class II
___ infection - endogenous viral proteins produce, are bound to class I MHC, go to cell surface, and are recognized by CD8 cytotoxic T cells
Viral
___ infection - endocytosis, proteins get bound to MHC class II molecules, go to cell surface, recognized by CD4 helper T cells -> B cells which have already bound to the antigen are then activated by the CD4 helper T cells; they then produce the antibody to that antigen and are transformed to plasma cells and memory B cells.
Bacterial
Not restricted by MHC, do not require previous exposure. Not considered T or B cells. Recognize cells that lack self-MHC. Part of the body’s natural immunosurveillance for cancer.
Natural killer cells
Initial antibody made after exposure to antigen. Is the largest antibody, having 5 domains (10 binding sites).
IgM
Most abundant antibody in body. Responsible for secondary immune response. Can cross the placenta and provides protection in newborn period.
IgG
Found in secretions, in Peyer’s patches in gut, and in breast milk; helps prevent microbial adherence and invasion in gut.
IgA
Membrane-bound receptor on B-cells (serves as an antigen receptor). Which Ab?
IgD
Allergic reactions, parasite infections. Which Ab?
IgE
Which antibodies fix complement?
IgM and IgG (requires 2 IgGs or 1 IgM)
Immediate hypersensitivity-reaction. IgE mediated; mast and basophils release histamine, serotonin and bradykinin. Example include bee stings, peanuts, hay fever.
Type I
Hypersensitivity reaction where IgG or IgM reacts with cell-bound antigen. Examples include ABO blood type incompatibility, Graves disease, MG, ITP.
Type II
Hypersensitivity reaction that involves immune complex deposition. Examples include: serum sickness, rheumatoid arthritis and SLE
Type III
Delayed-type hypersensitivity. Antigen stimulation of perviously sensitized T-cells. Examples include: TB skin test, contact dermatitis.
Type IV
Converts lymphocytes to lymphokine-activated killer cells by enhancing their immune response to tumor. Also converts lymphocytes into tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Has been shown to be successful for melanoma.
IL-2
What is a tetanus-prone wound?
> 6 hrs old; obvious contamination and devitalized tissue; crush; burn; frostbite, or missile injury
When to give tetanus toxoid or tetanus immune globulin
Non-tetanus prone wound - give toxoid only if pt has received <3 doses or tetanus status unknown.
