HEMATOLOGIC DISEASES Flashcards
Blood Components
- RBC/ Erythrocytes: ↓ RBC= ANEMIA
- WBC/ Leukocytes: ↓EBC= LEUKOPENIA
- Platelet/ Thrombocytes: ↓platelets:
Thrombocytopenia
4.Plasma: Liquid Portion of Blood
↓RBC, ↓WBC, ↓PLATELET
APLASTIC ANEMIA
2 types of Plasma
-Serum Plasma
-Protein Plasma
type of plasma which is the Liquid portion of blood
SERUM PLASMA
↑PLASMA
-Hemodillution
-↓ blood viscosity
↓PLASMA
-Hemoconcentration
-↑blood viscosity
-Risk for thrombus (clot formation)
type of plasma that is Produced by the liver
PLASMA PROTEIN
Types of plasma protein
-ALBUMIN
-FIBRIN
-GLOBULINS
Type of protein plasma that is abundant and (+) oncotic pressure, stays in the intravascular
ALBUMIN
↓Albumin
-Hypoalbuminemia
- (-) oncotic pressure
-Edema & Ascites
Type of protein plasma that is the clotting factor
Risk for: Bleeding & ecchymosis
FIBRIN
3 Types of Globulin
AH- BI- GA
-Alphaglobulin: transport Hormones
-Betaglobulin: transport Iron
-Gammaglobulin: transport Antibodies
:Produces in WBC (B-cells)
but scattered in plasma
Antibodies attack its own cells/body
Autoimmune disease
Treatment & Drug of choice for autoimmune diseases
Tx: Plasmapheresis: removal of antibodies on plasma
DOC: Steroids (Prednisone)
Complications of Plasmapheresis
- Immunosuppression
- Hypovolemia (Hypotension)
- Allergic Reaction
BLOOD PREPARATION
-Whole blood
-Packed RBC
-Platelet Concentrate
-FFP (Fresh Frozen Plasma)
Whole Blood
-Massive blood loss
-Hypovolemic shock
-Surgery: amputation
Packed RBC
-Anemia
-Fluid overload
-CHF
-Pulmonary Edema
-Renal Failure
Platelet concentrate
-Bleeding disorders
-Dengue
-Thrombocytopenia
-Hemophilia
-ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura)
FFP (FRESH FROZEN PLASMA)
-↑Blood Viscosity
-Burns: ↑hematocrit
-Polycythemia Vera
Whole Blood & Packed RBC must be transfused within:
2-4 hours; Maximum of 6 hours
Platelet concentrate & FFP must be transfused within:
10-20 minutes
Nursing Safety during Blood Tranfusion:
Blood typing, cross, matching, and transfusion orders must be checked by
“2 NURSES”
If there is only 1 available nurse
“GO TO THE NEAREST NURSING STATION”
If 2 units is received:
“TRANSFUSE ONLY 1 UNIT AND SEND THE 1 UNIT IN THE LABORATORY”
If there is an error notice in the blood details:
“RETURN TO THE BLOOD BANK”
What must be done prior to transfusion:
“CARDIOPULMONARY (CP) CLEARANCE”
-To adjust rate
Monitor for complication of blood transfusion
What to prepare for Blood Transfusion
-Blood set
-Large-Bore needle (Gauge 18)
-PNSS (Saline solution): NO D5
CONTAINING, CAUSES HEMOLYSIS
-Alternative line: For emergency meds.
Blood Tranfusion Complications:
-Pulmonary Edema
-Tranfusion Reaction
Blood Tranfusion Complications: Cause of Pulmonary edema
Rapid Infusion
Manifestation:
-Dyspnea
-(+)Rales or Crackles
Management for Pulmonary edema
-↓ Infusion Rate: don’t stop since its compatible
-POC: High backrest
-DOC: Diuretics : Eliminate excess fluid
