Q

Pregnant MHV 2023

Pre-pregnancy management

A

Counsel before valve insertion if CBA
Counsel as soon as become CBA

66
Q

Pregnant MHV 2023

Antenatal management

A

Tertiary centre with obs, cardio, thrombosis, cardiac surgery, neonatal and anaesthetics

Counsel about risks of low adherence i.e. valve thrombosis and associated morbidity

VKA best for valve but increased risk of pregnancy loss or neonatal morbidity

Convert VKA to LMWH once pregnant, ideally before 6/40

LMWH throughout with 2.5mg/kg/day enoxaparin (250IU/kg/day others) + aspirin 75mg (150mg for pre-eclampsia prophylaxis)

Higher dose LMWH because high rate thrombosis during transition

67
Q

Pregnant MHV 2023

Birth plan

A

Tertiary centre with obs, cardio, thrombosis, cardiac surgery, neonatal and anaesthetics

Individualised plan, documented + emergency plan

For VKA - convert to LMWH 2/52 before birth (if present in labour go for CS)

For LMWH - stop 24 hours before CS or when start labour

If prolonged LMWH disruption consider prophylactic dose

For aspirin - stop 3 days prior to delivery

Restart prophylactic LMWH for first 24-28 hours post delivery

VKA restart 7 days post delivery

Reassess plan for next pregnancy if relevant

68
Q

MGUS 2023

Workup

A

IgG, IgG, IgM AND SPEP
Immunofixation (more sensitive than SPEP) blood and urine
Serum freelite
FBC
Renal function
Corrected calcium

Q

ATR 2023

Mandatory training

A

Recommended for all staff in clinical or laboratory areas involved in transfusion

73
Q

ATR 2023

Immediate management

A

Stop transfusion, maintaining venous access
Double check ID band and label
Visually inspect unit
Assess patient A-E with obs

If temp <2deg and/or pruritus and/or rash: continue with supportive care
Fever: give paracetamol
Allergic type reaction: give antihistamine (not steroids)

Anaphylactic reaction:
Give IM adrenaline regardless of platelet count

Hypotension:
Consider if this is symptom of blood or indication for blood

Sustained temp >2deg with other symptoms:
Think haemolysis or infection

74
Q

ATR 2023

Investigations

A

FBC
Renal
Liver
CXR if resp symptoms

Coag screen
Urine for haemoglobin
IgA levels
Consider withdraw associated components
Anti-HLA/HNA/HPA only for appropriate contexts
Consider mast cell tryptase

For resp symptoms not associated with allergy:
O2 sats, ABG
BNP (and request add-on to pre-transfusion)
Echo

75
Q

ATR 2023

Management recurrent fever

A
