A
  • In transfusion service: 2-6°C
  • In/outside hospital: 1-10°C
32
Q

Explain 30 minute rule

A

Some hospitals limit blood being outside of BB to 30 min

33
Q

Temp outside range will change blood product expiration date to ____

A

4 hrs

34
Q

List when to conduct visual inspection of blood product

A
  • on receipt
  • daily
  • at crossmatch
  • at issue
  • at return
35
Q

Visual inspection

A
  • hemolysis
  • lipemia
  • bacterial contamination
  • particulate matter
  • discoloration
36
Q

Which of the following cannot be kept in the blood bank inventory/storage?
A. blood components that left BB and returned unspiked, 1-10°C
B. Washed DRBCs 25 hr from wash
C. RBC aliquot seal failure < 24h r
D. Blood components outside BB at 2-6°C in validated coolers
E. Blood components transported from vendor/taxi/helicopter/police at 1-10°C

A

B, because DRBCs must be less than 24 hrs old from wash

37
Q

Red blood cell substitutes

A
  • Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier
  • Perfluorocarbons - can’t actually use
  • RBC engineering to make Type O from any blood type by removing sugars
38
Q

Which product cannot be made from a whole blood donation processed within 24 hr?
A. LRBC
B. Platelets
C. FP24
D. Cryoprecipitate

A

D. Cryoprecipitate because it needs to be made in 8 hrs, not 24 hr

39
Q

Which type of RBC should be given to a patient with known allergic reactions to blood products?
A. DRBC
B. LRBC
C. IRBC
D. Whole blood

A

A. DRBC
It was washed, so allergens in plasma are removed
