perform elective surgery when hematologically optimized
use meticulous blood-sparing surgical techniques
continually measure and assess hemoglobin and hematocrit

optimize cardiac output, oxygen delivery, and ventilation
use blood salvage and autologous transfusion when possible

50% of BV within 3 hours or less

92
Q

Massive Transfusion Concerns

A

deficiency of coagulation factors with abnormal coagulation test in the presence of active bleeding

prevent bleeding or stop ongoing bleeding in patients with low platelet or functional platelet disorders

96
Q

Normal platelet count

A

150,000-450,000 cells/ul

97
Q

Tranfuse platelets for

A

less then 50,000 cells/ul but not more than 100,000 cell/ul

50-100k microvascular bleeding or at risk for continued bleeding

98
Q

Platelet transfusion threshold in bleeding patients

A

< 50,000 in severe bleeding including disseminated intravascular coagulation
< 30,000 when bleeding not life threatening or considered not severe
<100,000 for bleeding in multiple trauma patients or patients with intracranial bleed

99
Q

Prophylactic Transfusion Threshold

A

before neurosurgery or ocular surgery <100
before major surgery <50,000
in dic <50,000
before central line placement <20,000
before epidural anesthesia <80,000
vaginal delivery platelet transfusion is considered at <30 and when traumatic delivery then <50,000

100
Q

Cryoprecipitate

A

contains factor VIII (von willebrand factor) & fibrinogen

101
Q

Indications of Cryoprecipitate

A

patients with von willebrand disease or patients with probable or documentated deficit in fibrinogen (<80-100)
administer as rapidly as possible (rate atlease 200 an hour)

102
Q

Blood Transfusion Complications

A

most common and serious- incompatibility
results in an immune reaction with risk of an acute hemolytic reaction
1/2 of all deaths are caused by procedural or administrative error
clinical picture complicated by GA, which can obscure the symptoms associated with hemolytic reaction

103
Q

transfusion-associated graft vs host disease

A

results when donor lymphocytes incorporate themselves into the tissues of the recipient, leading the recipient immune system to attack the embedded recipient tissues
rash, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia
sepsis, death and usually occur as a result

104
Q

Transfusion related acute lung injury

A

acute lung injury occuring within 6 hours of transfusion in individuals previously free of ALI
believed to occur as frequently as 1:432 units of platelets or as infrequently as 1:7900 units of FFP
likely underreported because may be confused wiht other forms of ALI

105
Q

Transfusion Related immunodulation

A

presence of leukocytes in allogenic blood
homologous transfusions which invariably contain some leukocytes have been implicated in immunosuppression of recipients leading to unexpectedly early recurrence of cancer adn higher then expected rates of postoperative infection

106
Q

Nonhemolytic transfusion reactions

A

occurence 1-5% of all transfusions
fever
chills
urticaria

107
Q

Leukoreduction

A

use of filters to reduce the level of WBC
proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of nonhemolytic transfusion reactions and is likely to be effective in the reduction of TRIM
leukocytes exert a variety of immunodulatory effects on the recipient in a magnitude that is proportional to the length of time the donor unit is stored

108
Q

Alternatives to Blood Transfusion

A

donor directed blood transfusion

autologous blood transfusion

109
Q

Donor directed blood transfusion

A

homologous blood transfusion from a donor selected by the recipient and believed by some to decrease the risk of transmission of disease

110
Q

111
Q

Cell salvage is used in

A
cardiac
orthopedic
radical prostatectomy
nephrectomy
AAA
aneurysm
112
Q

surgery involving wounds contaminated by bacteria, sepsis, bowel contents, amnotic fluid or malignant cells

113
Q

Preoperative Blood Donation

collection and storage of recipient’s own blood for re-infusion at a later date
half of autologously donated blood is discarded contributing to waste

114
Q

Pre-Op blood donation risks:

A

preop anemia (resultant myocardial ischemia)
bacterial contamination
clerical erro

115
Q

Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution

A

transfusion alternative involving the removal of whole blood from a patient immediately before or after the initation of anesthesia and surgery and replacing volume with crystalloid or colloid solution
blood lost during surgery will have a low hematocrit
reinfusion of the whole blood (with a normal hematocrit as well as clotting factors) is initated when intraoperative loss of blood has stopped, or earlier if the patient’s condition warrants it

116
