Q

At what Hct should patients with significant coronary heart disease he transfused at?

A

28-30%

17
Q

What is the blood volume for a premature infant?

A

95ish mL/kg

18
Q

What is the blood volume for a term infant?

A

85ish mL/kg

19
Q

What is the blood volume for an infant ~ past term?

A

80ish mL/kg

20
Q

A

70 mL/kg

21
Q

What is the blood volume for an adult?

A

70 mL/kg

22
Q

What is citrate in PRBCs necessary for?

A

Anticoagulant

23
Q

What is dextrose in PRBCs necessary for?

A

Substrate for glycolysis

24
Q

What is the phosphate in PRBCs necessary for?

A

Buffer

25
Q

What is the adenine in PRBCs necessary for?

A

Substrate for ATP synthesis

26
Q

What is the Hct of 1 unit of PRBCs?

A

70%

27
Q

How much does one unit of PRBCs increase hemoglobin/hematocrit?

A

1 g/dL or 2-3%

28
Q

What does leukoreduction do?

A

Removes WBCs from banked RBCs and platelets

29
Q

What does washing do to blood products?

A

Removes any remaining plasma ( and antigens) in the donor RBCs

Prevents anaphylaxis in Ig-A deficient patients

30
Q

What is irradiation to blood products?

A

Exposes units to gamma radiation > disrupts WBC DNA in the donor cells and destroys donor leukocytes

***prevents graft vs host disease

This protects patients with leukemia, lymphoma, DiGeorge syndrome, etc…

31
Q

What are the most common infectious transfusion reactions in most to least common?

A

Cytomegalovirus > hep B > hep C > HIV

32
Q

What is the treatment of an acute hemolytic reaction?

A

Stop the transfusion
Maintain urine output > 75-100 mL/hr
Alkalinize the urine (bicarb)
Send urine and plasma hemoglobin samples
Check labs (platelets, fibrinogen, PT)

33
Q

What is the pathophysiology to transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)?

A

Donor antibodies > neutrophil in lungs > endothelial injury > cap leak > pulmonary edema > impaired gas exchange > hypoxemia > acidosis > death

34
Q

What is TACO?

A

Transfusion associated circulatory overload!

State of volume overload caused by expanding volume beyond the patient’s compensatory ability

Tacos are salty > bad for CHF!!

35
Q

What is the lethal triad?!

A

Coagulopathy
Hypothermia
Acidosis

36
Q

What is the final Hct count of salvaged blood?

A

60-70%

37
Q

Which has the better oxygen-carrying capacity? Salvaged blood or banked?

A

Salvaged!

They contain higher counts of 2,3 DPG and ATP!

38
Q

What are contraindications to salvages blood?

A

Sickle cel
Thalassemia
Topical drugs
Infected sites
Oncologist procedures
