Q

What does it mean if a patient is type A blood?

A

Q

tPA MOA? Effect on TEG?

A

accelerates fibrinolysis

Q

Desmopressin (DDAVP) MOA

A

induces synthesis and release of VWF by endothelial cells

- critical role of platelet adhesion

23
Q

How does fructosamine testing in diabetes work? Who is it used in?

A

Measures shorter time interval compared to hgb A1c.

Pts who have reduced red cell lifespans (hemolytic anemia, sickle cell disease)

24
Q

How can the sequestration of platelets spare autologous blood products from damage during CPB?

A

This creation of a platelet-rich plasma can help protect the platelets from damage during bypass.

Infuse platelets after bypass to conserve blood

25
Q

Dietary supplements that interfere with platelet function (4)

A
  1. Garlic
  2. Ginger
  3. Ginko
  4. Vit E
26
Q

St John’s Wort is used to tx depression and PMS. Drug interactions?

A

Potent CYP3A4 inducer -> increased metabolism and decreased efficacy of meds

  • Digoxin
  • Warfarin
  • Cyclosporin
  • Anticonvulsants
27
Q

(Right/Left)ward shift of oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is found in pts with chronic severe anemia

A

Rightward

- decrease affinity of hgb for oxygen -> facilitates release of oxygen to tissues

28
Q

Can pts develop cardiomegaly in chronic severe anemia?

A

Yes - high outpt cardiac failure secondary to decreased blood viscosity

  • Pulm congestion
  • Ascites
  • Edema
  • Orthopnea + dyspnea
29
Q

In general, a positive direct antiglobulin test (Coombs test) is diagnostic for _____

A

a hemolytic reaction

- if negative, then pt has non-hemolytic rxn

30
Q

Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) - leading cause of transfusion related death usually w/in 6 hours
- What is it d/t?

A

Antibodies in donor blood bind to recipient’s leukocytes -> adhere to vascular capillary bed in pulmonary circulation

31
Q

________ is the most common blood reaction. Fever, chills, headache, myalgias

A

non-hemolytic febrile transfusion reaction

  • Recipient antibodies against HLA antigens on donor leukocytes -> cause lysis of donor leukocytes
32
Q

Polycythemia vera is a hematological condition that causes which blood cell lines to proliferate?

A

All three

  • Leukocytosis
  • Thrombocytosis
33
Q

Mild allergic transfusion reactions (urticaria, pruritus, facial swelling) are d/t?

A

Soluble foreign proteins in transfused donor blood

- acts as antigen -> immune activation in recipient via IgE response

Q

Cryoprecipitate has factors ____

A

VIII, fibrinogen, vWF

Q

What is leukoreduction of blood products? Benefits?

A

Decrease or complete elimination of donor leukocytes in blood components
- reduces risk of febrile transfusion rxn and risk of viral transmission (CMV)

*does NOT prevent graft vs host disease and some bacteria

48
Q

Tx for TACO

A

diuretics

- problem is overload in circulating volume regardless of type of blood product

49
Q
