24-36 hours
What is Dextran
An artificial colloid - polysaccharides molecule

Improve micro circulatory flow in micro surgeries, extracorporeal circulation during cardio pulm bypass
Adverse reactions of dextran
Anaphylaxis, coagulation abnormalities, interference with cross-match blood, precipitation of acute renal failure

What is hetastarch
Synthetic colloid made from plant starch
Indication for hetastarch
Hypovolemia
Max dose of hetastarch
20ml/kg
Hetastarch adverse reactions
Hypersensitivity, coagulopathy, hemodilution, circulatory overload, and metabolic acidosis
How is hetastarch supplied
Hespan 6% solution in NS
DOA hetastarch
24-36 hours
What is hextend
It is 6% hetastarch in a buffered solution including lactate buffer, balanced electrolytes, and physiologic glucose
What is a benefit of hextend over hetastarch
Studies show that you can give more than 20ml/kg without coagulopathy issues
What is voluven
It’s another plant-derived colloid with smaller molecules than other HES solutions
What is the benefit of voluven over other HES colloids
Less plasma accumulation, safer in patients with renal impairment, comparable effects on volume expansion and hemodynamics, fewer coagulation affects
**acceptable alternative to albumin
Why would we move from fluid therapy to blood component therapy
Necessary to increase oxygen carrying capacity while also increasing intravascular volume and restoring homeostasis
What are the transfusion triggers
Perioperative blood loss Clinical condition of patient Patient-specific blood volume Calculation of allowable blood loss Access to patient blood type Patient preferences
What are the benefits and risks of blood component therapy
Benefits = increased oxygen carrying capacity & improved coagulation
Risks = infection and incompatibility
How do we estimate blood loss
Subjective - measuring net suction volume and counting or weighting sponges (usually underestimated)
Objective - sodium fluroescein dye
POCT - hgb/hct (this does not measure blood loss)
What are the clinical condition triggers of patient to consider giving product
Tachycardia
Decreased mixed venous o2 saturation
Measurement of systemic o2 delivery (DO2)
What is the equation for DO2
CO X CaO2
How do you calculate CaO2?
1.34 X hgb X spo2
What is the estimated blood vol of a full term infant?
80-90 ml/kg
What is the equation for maximum allowable blood loss?
MABL = /starting hematocrit
Normal hgb range for men
13.2-16.6 g/dL
Normal hgb range for women
11.6-15 g/dL
Normal hct range for men
42-52%
Normal hct range for women
37-47%
Hgb and hct level considerations for transfusion
Hgb: 7-10 g/dL
Hct: 21-30%
Estimated blood volume of infants
80 ml/kg
Estimated blood volume of adults
65-75 ml/kg
Estimated blood volume of obese adults
50 ml/kg
Blood group A can receive which blood groups
A, O

B, O
Blood group AB can receive which blood groups?
A, B, AB, O
Blood group O can receive which blood groups?
O only
Rh + can receive which blood groups
Rh +/-
Rh - can receive which blood groups?
Rh -
Which blood group is the universal recipient?
AB +
Which blood type is the universal donor
O -
Why give RBCs?
Hemorrhage and improve o2 delivery to tissues
- symptomatic anemia
- Acute blood loss > 30% blood volume
- hemodynamically unstable
Why give FFP?
Reversal of anticoagulant effects
Why give platelets?
Prevent hemorrhage in patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet function deficits
Why give cryo?
Hypofibrinogenemia (setting of massive hemorrhage or consumptive coagulopathy)
What are the changes in banked blood?
Less DPG Less ATP Oxidative damage Increased adhesion to endothelium Acidosis Change in shape/decreased flexibility of RBC Microaggregates Hyperkalemia Absence of viable platelets once refrigerated for 2 days Absence of factor V and VIII Hemolysis Accumulation of pro inflammatory metabolic and breakdown products
What level of hgb indicates significant mortality
Hgb < 5 g/dl
What is the record survival of hgb of jehovah witness
1.8 g/dl
Most common surgical procedures requiring transfusion
Ortho Colorectal Cardiac Major vascular Liver transplant Trauma
What are the thre components of the strategy to reduce unnecessary transfusions and maximize patient outcomes
- Optimize patients own RBC mass
- Minimized blood loss
- Optimize patients physiologic tolerance of anemia
Preop strategies for blood therapy
Screen and treat for anemia, iron deciency and administer erythropoiesis stimulating agents as indicated
ID and manage any bleeding risks (i.e. meds)
Assess pt reserve and optimized patient specific tolerable blood loss
Have an evidence based plan
Preop autologous blood donation in select situations
- may need to come 30 days preop to accommodate
Intraop strategies for blood therapy
Perform surgery when optimized
Use blood-sparing techniques
Continually measure and assess hgb/hct
Plan/optimize fluid management of nonblood products
Optimize CO, oxygen delivery, and ventilation
Use blood salvage and autologous transfusion when possible
