TRANSFUSION PRACTICES Flashcards
Procedure whereby wholee blood is separated by physical means into componeents and one or more of them returned to the donor
Apheresis
Blood drawn from the patient/recipient for re transfusion into him/her at later date
AUTOLOGUS BLOOD
A facility or ceeeenter ttthat perfoorrms all the fooollowoing functions including:
Recruiting blooodo donors
Screening and selecting blood donors
Blood collection
Testing and prroceessing of blood units
Blood Center
A center that is involved in the following functions only:
Receiving and storing screened blood and blood components from another authorized blood establishment
Perforrrming compatibility testting
Blood issue forr transfusion
Blood Storage Center
A therapeutic constituent of blood tthat is separated by physical or mechanical meeans
Blood Component
A procedure whereby a single donation blood is colleccected in a anttticoaguulant solution
Blood Collection
A therapeutic substancce derived from human blood including whole blood, blood components and plasma derived products
Blood Productt
To set tthe measurement of equipmeent against a known standard
Calibrate
System of collectting and processing blood in containers that have been connected togetheer by tthe manuufactuure before sterilization,, so that there is no possibility of bacterial or viral contamination from outside after the collection.
Closed System
Specific selection process to determine the suitability of a procedure or material
Evaluation
A system,, the contents of whichh are exposed to air and outside element duuring preparation and separation of components
Open System
The organizational structure,, responsibilities, policies, processes, procedures and resourcces established by executive maangement to achieve quality
Quality sYSTEM
To isolate nonconforming blood, component, or material
Quarantine
Establishing recorded evidence that proves a high degree if assurance that aspecific process wiill consistently produce an outcome meeting its predetermined specifiaction and quality attributes.
Validation
Evaluating the performance of a system with regards to its effectiveness based on intended use
Verification
Donation is considered voluntary and no remunerated if a person gives blood, plasma, orcel;lular ocmponets of his or her own free will and receives no payment for it, either in cash or kind which could be considered a substitute for money. Small tokens, refreshments are compatible with voluntary, non-remunerated donation
Voluntary non-remunerated donation
under the National
Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), what was developed with the cooperation of the AABB and the Centers of Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to track, to analyze, and ultimately to improve transfusion outcomes.
Hemovigilance Model
Transfusion Therapy is used primarily to treat 2 conditions
INADEQUATE OXYGEN && Insufficient coagulation protein
Transfer of blood from one person to another without exposing it to air
Direct (IMMEDIATE) Transfusion
Removal and discarding of blood rom the recipient and simultaneous replacement with the donor’s blood.
Exchange Transfusion
Transfer of blood from a donor to a flash or other container to the recipient
Indirect (((MEDIATE) Transfusion
Transfusion in which a blood is transferred form a person who has recovered from a contagious infection into the vessels of a patient suffering with the same infection and an equal amount of blood is returned from the patient to the well person.
Reciprocal Transfusion
2 major groups of transfusion complications
Immediate Transfusion Reaction & Delayed Transfusion Reaction
Reaction occurring within 24 hours of
transfusion.
Fever >1° C increase or >38° C
Chills/rigors
Respiratory distress—wheezing,
coughing, dyspnea, cyanosis
Hypertension or hypotension
Pain—abdominal, chest, flank or back,
infusion site
Skin manifestations—urticaria, rash,
flushing, edema
Jaundice, hemoglobinuria
Nausea/vomiting
Abnormal bleeding
Oliguria/anuria
Immediate/Acute transfusion reaction
Reaction occurring more than 24
hours following transfusion.
Serum hepatitis
Syphilis
Malaria
AIDS/HIV
Delayed Transfusion Reaction
2 Reactions in Delayed Transfusion Reaction
Immune Mediated Reaction and Non immune Mediated Reaction
Reaction that may be due to the component transfused, the patient’ underlying condition or the method of infusion
Non IMMUNE mEDIATED rEACTION
Reactions involving antigen antibody complexes, cytokine release, or complement activation
Immune mediated Reaction
Severe symptoms of an AHTR can occur after the infusion of as little as ____mL of incompatible blood
10 mL
Most common source of HTR
