3 gene deletion alpha thalassemia
3
new fact about sideroblastic anemia
it causes BOTH micro and MACROcytic anaemia
4
when to transfuse in anaemia
1. symptomatic
2. Hct very low
- elderly
- heart disease
5
Hct very low
6
what transfusion to use in person with IgA deficiency
give IgA deficient FFP
7
each unit of PRBC....
increases Hct by 3 points per unit, or 1g/dl of Hg
8
what is NOT the answer to haemophilia A or B
FFP
9
cryoprecipitate....
NEVER used first for anything
10
whole blood....
NEVER correct, since divided into PRBC or FFP
11
transfuse in asymptomatic young person with anaemia
NO NEED TO TRANSFUSE

LOW levels
