LESSON 2: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND OVERVIEW Flashcards
First time a blood transfusion was recorded in history.
Pope Innocent VII
Sodium phosphate
Braxton Hicks
ABO blood groups
Karl Landsteiner
Vein to vein transfusion
Edward E. Lindemann
Syringe-valve apparatus Sodium citrate
Unger
Sodium citrate
Hustin
Minimum amount of citrate needed for anticoagulation
Lewisohn
Citrate dextrose solution
Rous and Turner
Techniques in blood transfusion and blood preservation
Dr. Charles Drew
Introduced the formula for the preservative acid-citrate-dextrose
Loutit and Mollison
Introduced citrate-phosphate-dextrose
Gibson
The amount of whole blood in a unit has been
450 mL +/- 10% of blood
For a 110 lb donor, a maximum of (?) can be collected
525 mL
Total blood volume for most adults:
10 to 12 pints
Donors can replenish the fluid lost from the donation of
1 pint in 24 hours.
The donor’s red cells are replaced within (?) after donation.
1 to 2 months
A volunteer donor can donate blood every
8 weeks.
Units of the whole blood can be separated into three components:
Packed red blood cells, platelets, and plasma
The plasma can be converted by cryoprecipitation to a clotting factor concentrate that is rich in
antihemophilic factor.
A unit of whole blood-prepared RBCs may be stored for (?), depending on the anticoagulant-preservative solution.
21 to 42 days
The donation process, especially (?), has been carefully modified over time to allow for the rejection of donors who may transmit transfusion-associated disease to recipients.
steps 1 and 2
The (?) is safer than it has ever been because of the donation process and extensive laboratory screening (testing) of blood.
nation’s blood supply
The use of (?), licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2002, is one reason for the increased safety of the blood supply.
nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT)
THE DONATION PROCESS 3 STEPS:
Step 1: Educational Materials
Step 2: The Donor Health History Questionnaire
Step 3: The Abbreviated Physical Examination
(?) that contains information on the risks of infectious diseases transmitted by blood transfusion, including the symptoms and sign of AIDS, is given to each prospective donor to read.
Step 1: Educational Materials
designed to ask questions that protect the health of both the donor and the recipient, is given to every donor.
Step 2: The Donor Health History Questionnaire
uniform donor history questionnaire,
is used to identify donors who have been exposed to diseases that can be transmitted in blood.
Step 2: The Donor Health History Questionnaire
Health History Questionnaire
(?) for donors includes blood pressure, pulse, and temperature readings; hemoglobin or hematocrit level; and the inspection of the arms for skin lesions.
Step 3: The Abbreviated Physical Examination

Three areas of RBC biology are crucial for normal erythrocyte survival function:
- Normal chemical composition and structure of the RBC membrane
- Hemoglobin structure and function
- RBC metabolism
- main lipid component of the membrane
Phospholipids
arranged in a bilayer structure comprising the framework in which globular proteins traverse and move.
Phospholipids
The biochemical composition of the RBC membrane is approximately
52% protein, 40% lipid, and 8% carbohydrate.
: The loss of RBC membrane is exemplified by the formation of spherocytes and bite cells.
Deformability
: The RBC membrane is freely permeable to water and anions.
Permeability
The RBC membrane is relatively impermeable to cations such as
sodium and potassium
The erythrocyte intracellular-to- extracellular ratios for Na+ and K+ are (?), respectively
1:12 and 25:1
