ITE Heme Flashcards
Hypothermia (increases/decreases) risk of bacterial infection compared to normothermic pts
increases
- hypothermia decreases regional blood flow, oxygen tension, and chemotaxis
Trauma triad of death
- Hypothermia
- Coagulopathy
- Acidosis
(Hyper/Hypo)ventilation increases the risk of citrate toxicity
Hyperventilation
_____ is more likely to cause citrate toxicity compared with other blood products bc more citrate is used
FFP
________ contains all clotting factors, fibrinogen, albumin, electrolytes, physiologic anticoagulants (prot C and S), and citrate
FFP
Recipients serum is mixed with commercially supplied RBCs containing selected antigens commonly implicated in hemolytic transfusion reactions
Antibody screen
Recipients serum is mixed with donor RBCs
Crossmatching
Recipients RBCs are mixed with commercially supplied anti-A and anti-B sera
ABO typing
- most important
- ABO incompatibility will cause hemolytic rxns
4 Ts of HIT
- Thrombocytopenia
- Timing of reduced plt count
- Presence of thrombosis
- Exclusion of oTher thrombocytopenia
Having a platelet count of > _____ is a risk factor for heparin resistance
300,000/mm^3
Heparin resistance is defined as an ACT of _____ after 500 U/kg of IV heparin has been administered
< 480
Antithrombin levels ____ of normal is a risk factor for development of heparin resistance
< 60% of normal
Treatment of heparin resistance
- supplemental heparin
- AT3
- FFP
_____ are separated from RRBCs mainly by centrifugation, and from leukocytes by leukocyte reduction filters
Platelets
*but small amounts of RBCs and leukocytes are still present in platelet concentrates and cause RH sensitization
______ is the most common blood product associated with TRALI
Plasma
