Q

what is the usually cause of bacterial contamination of transfusions?

25
what causes the reaction in bacterial contamination?
reaction to endotoxins
26
what causes circulatory overload?
rapid infusion of blood or given too much blood
27
what does circulatory overload cause?
congestive heart failure
28
what is the length of time the FDA recommends for giving blood?
two to four hour period
29
when is rapid infusion okay?
when the person is actively bleeding
30
what does TRALI stand for?
Transfusion related acute lung injury
31
what causes TRALI?
HLA antibodies from transfused plasma attacks lung tissue causing pulmonary edema
32
when does TRALI happen?
happens during or within 6 hours of transfusion
33
donors centers are now only making fresh frozen plasma from male donors, why?
females are more likely to have HLA antibodies due to exposure to fetal leukocytes during pregnancy
34
what are the steps to take is there is a reaction?
check paperwork for errors perform ABO/RH and antibody screen on pre and post transfusion patient blood samples check donor unit ABO/RH check urine for blood/hemoglobin perform DAT to look for antibody attached to transfused RBC culture donor blood bag
35
what is the old name for HDN
erythroblastosis fetalis
36
what can cause HDN?
ANY IgG antibody against fetal RBC antigen
37
HDN is usually mild unless what antibody is involved?
anti-D
38
is HDN is caused by any antibody besides anti-D what can be done to treat?
phototherapy
39
how is HDN caused by anti-D treated?
exchange transfusion of the infant
40
which HDN is not predictable, not preventable, can occur in first pregnancy?
ABO HDN
41
how is ABO HDN treated?
phototherapy
42
which mothers and Babies does ABO HDN usually happen in?
group O mothers and Group A babies
43
Which HDN is very serious? | how is it predictable and preventable?
RH HDN predictable by antibody titers on mother's plasma preventable by administering anti-D antibody to destroy rbcs in mothers circulation before she can build anti-D antibody
44
what is given to mothers with a chance of RH HDN?
ortho diagnostics
45
what is the brand name for ortho diagnostics
Rhogam
46
300 ug will destroy how much RBCs?
15 ml RBCs (30 ml whole blood)
47
when is Rhogam administered?
at 28 weeks and again within 3 days after delivery of a RH positive infant
48
when is another time Rhogam is administered?
in spontaneous abortion in RH negative mothers
49
what is the rosette test?
a screening test to determine if the fetal bleed into mother's circulation exceeds 30ml of blood
50
what is a rosette test called?
fetal screen and fetaldex
51
what do you do if the rosette test is positive?
a semi-quantitative test is performed called Kleihauer-Betke
52
what prenatal tests are ran for RH RDN?
abo/rh test antibody screen for anti-D antibody weak D testing if D negative on initial test
53
what are post-pardum tests ran?
ABO/RH on cord blood DAT on cord blood elution of antibody from baby's cells to identify antibody identification of antibody
54
what are Rhogam criteria?
mother must be D negative, weak D negative infant must be D positive or weak D positive mother must not already have anti-D from previous pregnancies
55
what is used for the exchange transfusion of infant?
Group O negative red cells reconstituted with group AB plasma
56
what does the exchange transfusion of infant do?
1. removes rbcs coated with antibody 2. lowers bilirubin level 3. corrects anemia 4. lowers circulating antibody level
57
what does donor selection do?
it is to protect donor and blood recipient
58
How much time should lapse between donations?
8 weeks
59
What are some requirements for donors?
``` appear in good health hemoglobin 12.5 gm/dL or greater hematocrit of 38% or greater minimum of 110 lbs blood pressure better than 180/100 pulse between 50 and 100 temperature cannot exceed 99.5 ```
60
what should the temp not exceed for a donor?
99.5
61
what should the hemoglobin be for a donor?
12.5 gm/dL or greater
62
what is the minimum weight for a donor?
110
63
what should the blood pressure be for a donor?
180/100 or better
64
what should the pulse be for a donor?
between 50 and 100
65
what are some reasons for permanent deferrals?
history of hepatitis previous positive test for hepatitis, HIV or HTLV history of babesiosis or chagas disease family history of CID recipient of Dure mater or pituitary growth hormone use of needle to inject non-prescription drugs
66
what are some reasons for temporary deferrals?
Immunizations- 2 weeks for measles, mumps, polio, typhoid, yellow fever 4 weeks for rubella, varicella, hepatitis B vaccine pregnancy- 6 months one year- tattoos, needle stick, sex with high risk HIV person, syphilis therapy, transfusion of blood products, rabies vaccine.
67
in donors. how long do you need to wait after getting immunizations for measles, mumps, polio, typhoid, yellow fever?
2 weeks
68
in donors, how long do you need to wait after getting immunizations for rubella, varicella, hepatitis B vaccine?
4 weeks
69
in donors, what are the immunizations that you need to wait 4 weeks?
rubella, varicella, hepatitis B vaccine
70
in donors, What are the immunizations that you need to wait 2 weeks?
measles, mumps, polio, typhoid, yellow fever
71
in donors, what do you need to wait 1 year after getting to donate blood?
tattoos, needle stick, sex with high risk HIV person, syphilis therapy, transfusion of blood products, rabies vaccine.
72
