Transfusion Practices Flashcards
The injection of blood and a blood component into the bloodstream
Blood Transfuion
It is generally the process of receiving blood or blood products intravenously. Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood
Blood Transfusion
Give Purposes of Transfusion
Restore blood volume
★ Replace clotting factors
★ Improve oxygen carrying capacity
★ Restore blood elements that are depleted
★ Maintain hemostasis and prevent
complications
Patients undergoing significant surgeries such as scoliosis repair, liver biopsy, mastectomy, and the likes.
Surgical Procedures
Patients who loss blood during vaginal or cesarean delivery.
Childbirth
Blood vessels open when placenta detaches from uterus
Vaginal delivery
This is happens when cutting of large blood vessels to open uterus wall
Cesarean delivery
Patients with severe injuries following accidents or disasters which necessitate blood transfusions.
Traumatic Events
Patients who receive transfusion are suffering from diseases or disorders like anemia, cancer, hemophilia, sickle disease, and the like.
Medical Conditions
Give the Transfusion Process
Preparation
Starting the Procedure
Monitoring
Finishing up
Post transfusion care
In transfusion process:
Medical team ensures patient’s identity and compatibility with the donor’s blood. Additionally, nurses will check the patient’s blood pressure, pulse, and temperature.
Preparation
In transfusion process:
Intravenous (IV) line is inserted into the patient’s vein in the arm or hand.
Starting the procedure
In the transfusion process:
During transfusion, the patient is continuously monitored for any adverse reactions. This includes checking vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.
Monitoring
In the transfusion process:
IV line is carefully removed and the medical team continues to monitor the patient for a short while to ensure no late-onset reactions.
Finishing up
In the transfusion process:
Patient’s vital signs are checked and the IV is removed. Also, the patient needs to report any unusual symptoms or feelings in the days following transfusion.
Post transfusion Care
Involved giving a person all components of blood (red cells, white cells, platelets, plasma, etc.).
Whole blood transfusion
This recipients of this transfusion is a Patients who experienced severe traumatic hemorrhage
Whole blood transfusion
Called Packed Red blood cells or packed cells
Red blood cell transfusion
This recipients in component therapy transfusion are the Patients with anemia (iron deficiency), blood disorders, or experienced traumatic events.
Red blood cell transfusion
Aka white blood cell transfusion
Granulocyte transfusion
A rare component of transfusion
Granulocyte transfusion
In granulocyte transfusion, the doctors used another drugs called?
Colony stimulating factors or Growth factors
This help in the production of white blood cells
Colony stimulating factors
Patients with low white blood cell count or severe infection which cannot be treated with antibiotics.
Wbc transfuion
Component of blood that stop the body from bleeding
Platelets
Patients with illnesses such as thrombocytopenia other type of cancers especially if their platelet count drops post- chemotherapy.
Platelet transfusion
Types of blood transfusion: Transfusion of blood or blood components taken from a donor to a recipient.
Allogenic/Homologous Transfusion
Also called “self-transfusion” is the reinfusion of blood or blood products taken from the same patient.
Autologous transfusion
Types of Blood Transfusion
Allogenic/Homologous Transfusion
Autologous Transfusion
Massive Blood Transfusion
Emergency Transfusion
Neonatal Pediatric Transfusion
Exchanged Transfusion
Plasma Transfusion
Bone Marrow Transplantation
BLood Substitutes Transfusion
Transfusion of blood or blood components taken from a donor to a recipient.
Allogenic/Homologous Transfusion
Also called “self-transfusion” is the reinfusion of blood or blood products taken from the same patient.
Autologous Transfusion
This types of autologous transfusion is a transfusion of blood to a patient anticipating a need for transfusion (e.g., scheduled surgery).
Pre deposit
This autologous type of transfusion is a transfusion of 1 or 2 units of collected blood from the patient just before a surgical procedure and give back to the patient at or near the end of surgery. Removed blood is replaced with crystalloid or colloid solution.
Intra operative Hemodilution or Acute Normovole,ic Hemodilution
This type of autologous transfusion is a blood lost during surgery is collected, mixed with anticoagulant solution, washed and re-infused during (interoperative salvage) or after (postoperative salvage) surgery.
Blood Salvage
Replacement of one or more blood volumes within 24 hours, or about 10 units (5000 mL) of blood in an adult.
Massive blood transfusion
A type of transfusion performed for patients who are rapidly bleeding and requires immediate transfusion. Group O, Rh-negative red cells are preferably used.
Emergency transfusion
This is significantly different from transfusion issues for adults because of the small size, hemoglobin changes, and erythropoietin response in early infancy.
Neonatal pediatric transfusion
A.k.a “Replacement Transfusion” can be defined as the use of whole blood or equivalent to replace the neonate’s circulating blood.
Exchange transfusion
Bone marrow can be harvested from
Iliac crest
A type of transfusion in which blood is substituted for transfusion.
Blood substitutes transfusion
A transfusion reaction occurring within 24 hours of transfusion
Immediate /Acute Reaction
A transfusion reaction occurring more than 24 hours of transfusion
Delayed Reaction
Adverse reaction that occur as a result of body’s immune system recognising and reacting to specific components within the transfused blood
Immune/Immunologic Reaction
Adverse reaction that occur during or after a blood transfusion that are NOT mediated by the immune system
Non Immune or Non Immunologic
Rapid destruction of red blood cells
shortly after receiving a blood
transfusion.
Acute hemolysis
Will take 5-7 days for symptoms to
manifest.
Sudden decrease of hemoglobin,
hematocrit, and jaundice (possible
but not always)
Delayed hemolytic anemia
