22
Q

28 week Prenatal Testing

A

For Rh Negative Mothers
- ABO/Rh
- Antibody Screen
- Rh Ig

23
Q

Monitor of HDN Severity

A

Amniocentesis
- Rh neg mothers with high-titer anti D or previously affected pregnancies
- LEvel of bile pigment in amniotic fluid - Optical Density 450nm

24
Q

PUB Sample Testing (Percutaneous Umbilical Blood)

A

Very risky procedure
Umbilical Vein
ABO/Rh
DAT
Cord Hgb
Bilirubin
CBC
Antigen Typing

25
Q

Fetal Lung Maturity

A

Consideration of Early Delivery
Ratio of Lecithin to Sphingomylin (L/S Ratio)
If fetus <29 weeks or severe HDN indicated

26
Q

L/S Ratio >2.0:1

A

Mature

27
Q

L/S Ratio 1.5:1

A

40% respiratory distress
Physician and mom call if should deliver early

28
Q

L/S Ratio <1.5:1

A

70% respiratory distress
Choose to do intrauterine transfusion

29
Q

Intrauterine Transfusion

A

Risky Procedure
RBCs infused through fetal abdominal wall or umbilical vein
Repeated with small volumes until delivery

30
Q

Intrauterine Transfusion Products

A

Fresh RBCs (<7 days old); Hct = 80%
Washed RBCs
CMV Negative or Leukodepleted
Irradiated
Group O, Rh Negative reconstituted with AB plasma
- MUST be negative for antigen corresponding to mom Ab

31
Q

Post Delivery Testing

A

ABO/Rh
DAT

32
Q

ABO/Rh Post Delivery

A

No reverse Group
Weak D Testing

33
Q

DAT Post Delivery

A

anti IgG AHG
Positive - elute Ab and identify
ID Ab in maternal or cord serum

34
Q

Exchange Transfusion Helps

A

Remove antibody-coated RBCs
Controls anemia
Removes Bilirubin
- Prevents Kernicterus

35
Q

Blood Products for Exchange Transfusion

A

Group O RBCs
Must be compatible with maternal antibody
Rh compatible with mother and infant

36
Q

Complications of Exchange Transfusion

A

Cardiac (if go to fast)
Vascular-Mechanical (destroy too many cells)
Infections
Hematologic-Coagulation
Immunologic (GVHD)
Hypothermia

37
Q

Post Delivery Testing Mother

A

ABO/Rh (weak D)
IAT
FMH Screen (possibly)
Kleihauer-Betke Stain

38
Q

FMH Screen

A

Performed on D negative mom
Must be anti-D negative

39
Q

Kleihauer-Betke Stain

A

Determine amount of fetal blood mom was exposed to
Hgb F resistant to acid denaturation

40
Q

RhIg Calculation

A
