PEDs Exam 2 Flashcards
what makes up hemoglobin A
two polypeptide alpha chains
two polypeptide beta chains
what makes up hemoglobin F
two alpha chains
two gamma chains
where is the binding site for 2,3-DPG
on the beta chain which is absent in fetal hemoglobin
what is the hgb of term neonate
17g/dL
HgbF replaced with Hgb A
8-12 weks
10g/dL
what ps P50 at term
19mmhg
what is P50 at 6 months
27mmhg
infants with RDS ____with adult blood transfusion
improve
hgb begins to increase at
around 4 months
neonate has physiological anemia due to what
decrease in erythropoietin
signs of anemia of prematurity
tachycardia
bradycardia
apnea
delayed growth
poor weight gain
prolonged anemia
where is ABO locus encoded
chromosome 9
what is the most important Rh antigen
D
individuals with Rh D antigen are considered
Rh positive
what happens when you give Rh- Rh+ blood
produce IgG antibodies against D antigen
hemolysis of transfused RBC
Rh is autosomal
dominant
when do Rh - mothers get the RhoGAM shot
26-28 weeks
also within 72 hrs after delivery
maternal IgG is present in infants less than
4 months
what type of blood do you transfused for all newborns
type O-
or
utilize ABO and RH D compatible blood
what should you test infant serum for
maternal anti A and Ant B alloantibodies
what clotting factors are in FFP

what clotting factors are in PCC
2 7 9 10 12
protein C
protein S
what factors are in cryo
fibrinogen
vWF
Whole blood is best, BUT:
Stored blood: Factors 5 and 8 depleted and PLT lose shape
Fresh whole blood is best
Use whole blood for exchange transfusion, after CPB, ECMO, massive transfusion
10 mL/kg of pRBCs in CPDA-1 increases the hemoglobin
by 3g/dl
PRBC characteristics
Stores with CPDA-1 or Adsol (AS)
250-300ml
60% Hct
Storage 35-42 days Days
10 mL/kg of pRBCs in CPDA-1 increases the hemoglobin by 3 g/dL
15 mL/kg is required to attain the same increment in hemoglobin when using pRBCs stored in AS
3 Accepted Indications for PRBC
To increase oxygen-carrying capacity
To avoid an impending inadequate oxygen-carrying state
Suppress the production or dilute the amount of endogenous hemoglobin in selected patients with thalassemia or sickle cell disease
guidelines for transfusion less than 4 months
when are transfusions rarely and almost always indicated
rarely hgb>10g/Dl
almost always Hgb <6
allowable blood loss calculation
Hi = Pt’s Initial Hematocrit
Hp = Minimal accepted Hct (depends on condition) Average ~ 24%
Hav = Average of Hi & Hp
Allowable blood loss = EBV × (Hi – Hp)/Hav
estimated blood volume for premature infants
90-100 ml/kg
estimated blood volume for term newborns
80-90 ml/kg
estimated blood volume for infants <1 year old
75-80 ml/kg
estimated blood volume for older children
70-75ml/kg
