Physician
RN
Indication for transfusion
Restore intravascular volume Restore the oxygen carrying capacity of blood (RBC) Replace the clotting factor Platelets to reverse coagulation Replaces WBC in neutropenia clients
Autologous
Donated in advance of need
Perioperatively: uses machine that washed and filters the blood, remvoes anticoagulants and clotting factors
Postoperatively: removed from tubes at the site of bleeding and filtered before re-infusion
Salvaged blood
Must be infused 6 hours of begining
More than 50% of clients total blood volume is re-infused, replacement of clotting factors is necessary
Advantages of autologous transfusions
Reduces risk of incompatibility reactions
Conservation of blood supply
Autologous transfusions
1-5 units
Must cease more than 72 hours before surgery
Tested for disease and virus
Unit of PRBC can be stored for 5-6 weeks
Direct donation
Blood specifically for a. Certain person
Not safer than other allergenic donations
Risks with transduction
Improper labeling
Completion of requisition in the collection
Distribution of blood
Unforeseen incompatibilities
Safety measures
Barcode system
Lab screening procedures
2 RNs check blood
Religion that does not allow blood transfusion or organ donation
Jehovah Witness
Transfusion guidelines
Know clients normal VS range
Elevation of temp and HR can be sig of transfusion reaction
Hypotension can occur with severe reaction
Assess clients most recent electrolyte values
If blood is transfused rapidly there may be transient hyperkalemia
Nurse must ensure that sample of clients blood has been sent to lab within past 72 hours
16-20 gauge
Filter required
Transfusion history
Pre administration
Correctly verify product and client Check name, ID number, DOB Verify what is ordered Check clients blood type Check unit number Check expiration date and time Check for leaks, bubbles, clots, or purplish color Y tubing Spike 0.9% NS Dextrose will cause coagulation of donor blood
Administration
Stay with pt for first 15 minutes of transfusion
Initial glow rate should be 2mL/min or 20 gtt/min
Blood should not hang for more than 4 hours (bacterial growth)
Teaching considerations of blood transfusion
Amount of. Time it will take Monitor Vs Instruct pt. To inform nurse if pain, swelling or redness occurs at IV site Explain purpose S/SX of transfusion reaction
Acute transfusion reactions
Acute hemolytic reaction Febrile Allergic Circulatory Sepsis Lung injury
Acute hemolytic reaction
Most dangerous
Common cause is ABO incompatible blood
90% caused by improper product to patient identification
May lead to renal failure, DIC ,and death
Occurs First 15-50 mL of blood
Assessment of acute hemolytic reactions
Fever Chills Low back pain Chest tightness Dyspnea Anxiety Hemoglobin in urine Hypotension Bronchospasm Vascular collapse
Treatment for acute hemolytic reaction
Maintain blood volume
Renal perfusion
Prevent and manage DIC
Febrile reaction
Most common
Leukocyte incompatibility
Most at risk if received 5 or more units
More than 10% with chronic requirements
Symptoms of febrile transfusion reaction
Chills first
Than a fever more than 1 degree Celsius begins 2 hours after transfusion has begun
Antiprytics treatment
Allergic reactions
Histamines
May use epinephrine and corticosteroids
Signs and symptoms of allergic reaction
Urticaria
Generalized itching
Flushing
Signs. And. Symptoms of bacterial contamination
Fever
Chills
Hypotension after transfusion is complete
Treat immediately to prevent septic shock
Antibiotics, IV fluids, corticosteriods, vaspressors
Transfusion related acute lung injury
Occurs 2-4 hours after transfusion
May develop as late as 48 hours
Due to an antibody mediated reaction between recipients leukocytes and antileukocyte antibodies from donor
TRALI
Acute SOB Hypotension Fever Eventual pulmonary edema Chest x-ray will show bilateral pulmonary infiltrates Occur with plasma administration
Massive blood transfusion reaction
Citrate toxicity
Hypocalcemia
Hyperkalemia
Delayed transfusion reactions.
Iron overload
Occurs as early as 3 days as late as several months
5-10 days
Signs and symptoms of delayed transfusion reaction
Anemia
Increased bilirubin
Jaundice
Infections include
hep B& C HIV Human herpes 6 EBV Human T cell leukemia Cytomegalovirus Malaria
Pediatric considerations with blood transfusions
20% or 50mL of volume run very slowly
Nurse stay at patients bedside
27 gauge
Positive pressure through an infusion pump
Blood replacement is recommended when childs blood loss totals 5-7% total blood volume
Typical S/SX of transfusion reactions
Chills Fever Flushing Cough Wheezing SOB Low back pain Tachycardia Hypotension Hemoglobinuria Acute jaundice Dark urine Bleeding Vascular collapse Shock Cardiac arrest Death
