Q

Explain forward typing and reverse typing

A

Patient RBCs are mixed with sera that contain anti-A or anti-B IgM. Agglutination with either reagent indicates the presence of that Ag on RBC surface.
Reverse typing uses patient serum mixing with known RBCs

Q

How does forward typing work with Rh antigen?

A

Only forward typing is needed. Unknown cells are tested against anti-D serum. If that patient is RhD-, there will be no reaction

Q

What are some reasons why forward and reverse typing might not match?

A

If someone was recently transfused with type O blood
Newborns
Patients who received alloHCT from a different blood type
Some bacterial infections can cause a false B antigen to be detected on forward typing

Q

What to do for patient with AIHA that needs transfusion?

A

Bloodbank testing will interpret the autoantibodies as there being no compatible blood.
Extended phenotypically matched cells may be needed, but don’t withhold transfusion

Q

Treatment for febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction

A

Antipyretics and meperidine for symptomatic treatment

17
Q

what can be used for prevention of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion risks

A

Leukoreduction

18
Q

Time frame for TACE?

A

Hours, up to 6 hours after

19
Q

Time period of TRALI

A

within 6 hours transfusion

20
Q

What is the mechanism of TRALI?

A

Anti-HLA or anti-neutrophil Abs present in donor plasma. Once transfused, these Abs bind to and active recipient leukocytes in pulmonary vascularture, causing noncardiogenic pulmonary edema

21
Q

What blood product has the highest risk of infection?

A

Platelets, because they are stored at room temperature

22
Q

Pathogenesis of delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction

A

Within 7-10 days of transfusion, patients have pre-existing antibodies to non-ABO group Abs. Once patient is transfused, an amnestic reaction occurs

23
Q

Pathogenesis of TA-GVHD

A

Within 7-10 days of transfusion, donor lymphocytes are transfused to immunocompromised patient. Donor lymphocytes engraft and cause diffuse maculopapular rash, jaundice, N/V/D

24
Q

Pathogenesis of post-transfusion purpura

A

5-10 days following transfusion. Anamnestic response to previously encountered foreign platelet antigen (most often against HPA-1a). Leads to increase in production of anti-platelet antibodies by the recipient, directed against donor platelet

25
management of post transfusion purpura
IVIG x5 days Steroids occasionally
26
What is contained in FFP?
All coagulation factors
27
What does cryoprecipitate contain?
Fibrinogen Factor VIII Factor XIII Von Willebrand Factor Fibronectin
28
What is contained within activated PCC
Contains Factor II, VII, IX, X
