ABO typing required …
Rh typing required …
FFP, Cryo
Platelets
Blood typing is …
And screening is …
Determines ABO and Rh of the patient and screens common AB’s using indirect Coombs test
Screening is mixing patient’s serum with RBC of known Ag combination
Major cross matching is …
Donor PRBC mixed with recipient serum.
It determines whether recipient has preformed Ab in serum against the donor cell.
This reduces immediate hemolytic transfusion rxn, but dose not reduce delayed transfusion rxn.
Minor cross matching is …
Recipient RBC added to donor serum to identify donor serum Abs
Blood groups -> RBC Ag -> plasma Ab
Group RBC Ag Plasma Ab
A A B
B B A
AB A/B None -> universal recipient
O None AB -> universal donor
There is one type of AB blood patient that cannot receive O plasma?
The (-) AB patient cannot receive O (-) plasma
T/F:
A+ patient who received 10U of O- RBCs can still safely receive both A- and B- RBCs?

Caused by donor leukocyte Ab
CXR -> b/l diffuse infiltration
The only transfusion rxn associated with leucopenia is …
TRALI
Delayed hemolytic transfusion rxn occurs …. after transfusion and commonly due to … and characterized by …
Day to 21 days
