17
Q

What can be given to someone with blood type O?

A

O

18
Q

Inheritance of the ABO blood group is represented on which chromosome?

A

9

19
Q

What do the genes on chromosome 9 regarding ABO determine?

A

Code for enzymes that attach sugar residues to the red cell membrane

20
Q

What chromosome carries the gene for the Rh(D)?

A

Chromosome 1

21
Q

What are the 3 possible genotypes for Rh(D)?

A

DD, Dd, dd

22
Q

What are the population frequency for DD, Dd, and dd and what is the corresponding phenotype?

A

DD - +ve - 35%
Dd - +ve - 48%
dd - -ve - 17%

23
Q

What other blood groups are there?

A

Kell group
Duffy group
Kidd group

24
Q

What 6 steps should be done regarding acute blood loss?

A
  1. Arrest bleeding
  2. Gain IV access
  3. Sample for cross-matching and other tests
  4. Restore and maintain blood volume
  5. Give blood
  6. Maintain normal pulse/BPconscioussness etc.
25
Q

What is acute (intermediate) haemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

Usually associated with the naturally - occurring IgM antibodies of the ABO system

26
Q

What are important factors regarding acute (intermediate) haemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

Large number of A/B antigen sites on the transfused red cells
Large number of antibody molecules in the plasma
Ease with which IgM antibodies can initiate full activation of the complement cascade with the formation of the membrane-attack complex (MAC)

27
Q

What are C3a and C5a?

A

powerful anaphylotoxins
Increase vascular permeability
Dilate blood vessels
Cause release of serotonin and histamine

28
Q

What does formation of Membrane attack complex lead to?

A

Rupture of transfused red cells

29
Q

What is coagulation?

A

Thromboplastic material from haemolysed red cells leads to indiscriminate activation of the coagulation mechanism - Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

30
Q

What activates the Kinin system?

A

Factor XII

31
Q

What does the Kinin system lead to?

A

Formation of bradykinin

32
Q

What does bradykinin cause?

A

Arteriolar dilatation

Increased vascular permeability

33
Q

What does the formation of bradykinin lead to?

A

Hypotension which in turn leads to release of cetacholamines which leads to vasoconstriction
