21
Q

Clotting Cascade Activation

A

Fibrin clot formation
Inactive until stimulated by 2 pathways- intrinsic/extrinsic
Prothrombin -> thrombin -> activates fibrinogen to fibrin

22
Q

Extrnisic Pathway

A

Tissue trauma, rapid, tissue thromboplastin III, need Calcium
INR

23
Q

Intrinsic Pathway

A

Blood vessel damage, slower, factor V/VIII

24
Q

Firbinolysis

A

Breakdown of clot

Plasminogen -> plasmin -> digest fiber in clot and fibrinogen

25
Q

Anticoagulation

A

Antithrombins- heparin, lovenox

26
Q

Hypocoagulability

A

Deficient clotting of blood

Thrombocytopenia- low PLT

27
Q

Hypercoagulability

A

Increased clotting

Can result in venous thrombosis, arterial thrombosis, embolization

28
Q

Blood-Related Abnormalities

A

Pale skin/lips, increased bruising, cyanosis, oral lesions, enlarged lymph nodes, jaundice, tachy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly

29
Q

Labs

A

CBC, ESR (inflammation), Iron, Bilirubin (breakdown of RBC), PT (extrinsic), PTT (intrinsic)

30
Q

Effect of Aging

A

Decrease bone marrow production
Decreased stem cells
Decreased ability to compensate when ill
Decreased hemoglobin

31
Q

Purpose of Blood Transfusion

A

Restore/maintain blood volume
Improve O2-carrying capacity
Replace deficient blood components and coagulation

32
Q

Autotransfusion

A

Pt given back out blood

33
Q

Blood Groups

A

Type A- A antigen and anti-B antibody
Type B- B antigen and antiA antibody
Type AB- A and B antigens and no antibody
Type O- no antigens and A and B antibodies

34
Q

Rh Groups

A

Found on RBC membrane
Rh +- have D antigen
Rh– no D antigen

35
Q

Whole Blood

A

All blood components
Increase total blood volume- trauma
500mL over 2-4 hr (1hr if emergent)

36
Q

Red Blood Cells

A 
Packed or frozen
Washed, irradiated, and leukocyte poor
Increases O2 carrying capacity
300mL over 2-4hr
IgM- may react
37
Q

White Blood Cells

A

Fight antibiotic-resistant septicemia and low granulocyte supply
300mL over 2-4 hr
Never use leukocyte depleting filter
Increased incidence of febrile, non-hemolytic reactions

38
Q

Platelets

A

Replace clotting factors
Prepped from whole blood
30-6-mL over 1hr

39
Q

Fresh Frozen Plasma

A

Clotting factor replacement (no PLT)
Must be ABO compatible
200-250mL over tolerated time span
INR, PT, PTT

40
Q

Albumin

A

Small protein separated from plasma
Replaces volume
No cross and type necessary

41
Q

Cryoprecipitate

A

From FFP
Clotting factor replacement
Infuse as tolerated
No cross and type necessary
