L8: Blood Components Transfusion Flashcards
what are blood components?
Content of Packed RBCs
- RBCs.
- A preservative, typically citrate-based.
Indications of Packed RBCs
RBC transfusion is not routinely indicated for pharmacologically treatable anemia as …..
- Iron deficiency anemia.
- Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anemia.
Preparation of Packed RBCs
Adminstration of Packed RBCs
RBC Transfusion Recommendations for Hospitalized, Hemodynamically stable patients in specific clinical Situations
Rate of Production of Platlet Concentration
2-5 x 10^6 / sec in adults.
Normal range of Platlet Concentration
- 150-400 x 10^9/L.
- 150-400 x 10^6/cm3
- 150-400 x 10^3/mm3
Antigens of Platlet Concentration
- Strong expression of HLA class-I antigens.
- Weak expression of ABO antigens.
Types of platlet concentrate
when are HLA-matched platelets Used?
Used in refractory patients who don’t have satisfactory respor a normal platelet transfusion.
what is Platelet refractoriness?
The repeated failure to obtain satisfactory response to platelet transfusion.
Temperature of Platlet Storage
between 20°C & 24°C
Storing of Platlet Storage
A platelet agitator…
- Ensure viability & prevent aggregation.
- By providing continuous gentle horizontal motion to the packs.
Causes of Platelet refractoriness
Shelf life of Platlet Storage
5 - 7 days.
If any gross aggregates are seen do not transfuse.
if any gross aggregates are seen do not transfuse.
Adminstation of Platlet Concentration
Indications of Platlet Concentration
- TTT
- Prophylaxis
Indications of Platlet Concentration as a TTT
Aim: A platelet count of >75 x 10’ /L
In multiple trauma & eye or CNS injury: keep platelet count >100 x 10°/L
Indications of Platlet Concentration as a prophylaxis
Platelel count Less than 10 x 10^9 /L
- Platelet transfusion is not required routinely prior to bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, Prophylaxis in stable patients with long term bone marrow failure.
Plalelel count less tahn 20 x 10^9 / L & presence of Additional risk factors for bleeding as sepsis
Target platelet counts during surgery
Content of Fresh Frozen Plasma
- Plasma, including all coagulation factors & plasma proteins.
- All cellular components are removed from the transfusion product.
Indications of Fresh Frozen Plasma
Adminstation of Fresh Frozen Plasma
Thawed plasma should be given within max 2 hours to avoid loss of potency of coagulation factors.
…
Def of Crypercepitate Transfusion
The small fraction of plasma that separates out (precipitates) when plasma is frozen & then thawed in the refrigerator.
Content of Crypercepitate Transfusion
- Clotting factors (Fibrinogen - Factor VIII - Factor XIII), Concentrated smaller amount of Liquid.
- VWF (von Willebrand Factor).
Def of Granulocyte Transfusion
A medical procedure in which granulocytes (as neutrophil) are infused into a person’s blood.
Indications of Crypercepitate Transfusion
- Replace several blood ciotting factors such as:
1. Factor VIII (Missing in patients with hemophilia A).
2. Fibrinogen (less than 0.8 -1 g/l). - Replace Von Willebrand factor (needed to help platelets work).
Collection of Granulocyte Transfusion
- Collected by apheresis.
Transfusion of Granulocyte Transfusion
Granulocyte must be transfused as soon as possible after collection, As their function deteriorates rapidly with storage.
Indications of Granulocyte Transfusion
Criteria of Donor Selection in Blood Transfusion
- Wellbeing
- Age
- Whole blood volume collected & weight of donor
- Donation Interval
- BP
- Pulse
- Temperature
- Respiration
- Hemoglobin
