Transfusion Flashcards
what type of transfusion rxn can be avoided?:
AHTR acute hemolytic avoided by prior compatibility testing; other transfusion reactions cannot be predicted by compatibility testing
think of blood as milk - you don’t want to drink 2 week old milk
biologic products
inherent risks of transmitting infectious diseases or causing other adverse reactions
normovolemic, resting animal can be maintained down to a PCV of
10%
no specific transfusion trigger
certain PCV
or coagulation times
time, temp., indication: FWB t1 FWB t2 stored whole blood (SWB) pRBC
<8hr, 4-24C, PLATELETS., coag., blood
<24hr, 4C, coag. blood
<28 days, coag., blood
<28 days, anemia
Platelet rich plasma (PRP)
Fresh frozen plasma (FFP)
frozen plasma
<24 hr if mixed, life threat bleed
<1 year, -20-40C, any coag.
<2years - rodentic
cryoprecipitate
Cryoprecipitate-poor plasma (cryo-poor)
<24 hr if mixed, life threat bleed
<1 year, -20-40, vWD, fibringen, fibronectin
Hemophilia A (but not B)
Hypofibrinogenemia
hypoproteinemia Some coagulopathies (factors II, VII, IX, XI)
animals can readily tolerate a loss of up to ___% of blood volume
20% of blood volume
=canine blood donors regularly give 20 ml/kg - while cats give 10 ml/kg q6-12 weeks
is a < PCV is a contraindication for fluid administration
no - restore perfusion
anesthesia & surgery should have a PCV of
20%
IMHA “add fuel to the fire”
no evidence
heparin (including accidental use of undiluted heparin flushes):
can also be corrected with FFP
although protamine rapidly reverse
Critically ill animals with albumin concentrations less than 1.5 g/dl may benefit from plasma why
important carrier of certain drugs, hormones, metals, chemicals, toxins, and enzymes
40ml/kg for 1g/dl increase therefore minimal help at doses we use
cryo:
fibronectin, fibrinogen, wBD, VIII
hemophilia A
platelets lifespan
RBC dog vs cat
neutrophil
<7 days
120d, 60-120 d
<1d
platelets cannot readily be stored for any length of time:
last ___ in blood in IMT:
use:
<8 hours at room temperature with agitation
immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, transfused platelets have a very short half-life (hours) and will not result in any appreciable platelet rise but may transiently stop severe hemorrhage
stop severe hemorrhage
