25
wha ttriggers cause sickling of cells
* infection/fever * dehydrtion * cold/high altitude * overexertion * alcohol * stress, fatigue (amnything that dec. oxygen)
26
to get sickle cell, the child must receive the gene from how many parents?
both
27
if both parents have the sickle cell gene, what are the chances of having, carrying, and not being effected?
25% having 50% carrying 25% not effected
28
what is the treatment of vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis
* hydration (IV) * aggressive pain management * oxygen * bed rest
29
how does hydration help sickle cell crisis
reduces dehydration (trigger) decreases blood viscosity
30
is pain management suring a sickle cell crisis scheduled or PRN
scheduled
31
which immunizations can help sickle cell
* pneumococcal * Hib * hep b * influenza * 23-valent vaccine @ 2 and 5 yrs. after forst dose
32
what is the prophylactic antibiotic for sickle cell
low doses of penicillin
33
what ages is prophylactic penicillin used in sickle cell?
newborn - 5 y.o. (unless they ahd splenectomy)
34
what is the prophylactic dose of penicillin for sickle cell for ages newborn-3 y.o.
125 mg 2x/day
35
what is the prophylactic dose of penicillin for sickle cell for ages greater than 3 y.o.
250 mg 2x/day
36
which testing is done annualy for sickle cell
transcranial doppler testing
37
what haooens if transcranial doppler testing for sickle cell comes back abnormal?
prophylactic blood transfusion
38
which treatment of sickle cell improves blood and tissue oxygenation, reduces sickling, temporary suppression of RBCs with hgb S
transfusion
39
complication of blood transfusion for sickle cella and how to help
iron overload, use iron-chelating drugs
40
examples of iron chelating drugs
deferoxamine, deferasirox, with vitamin c
41
which sickle cell treatment is a cytotoxic drug that decreases production of abnormal blood cells (less pain)
hydroxyures
42
what is needed for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant for sickle cell?
human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatible sibling

52
what does the severity of hemophilia B range from?
mild to severe bleeding tendencies
53
what kind of genetic trait is hemophilia b
x-linked recessive trait (mostly male)
54
which population is most effected by hemophilia b
amish
55
which hemophilia is a deficiency of factor XI (11)?

56
what kind of genetic trait is hemophilia c
autosomal recessive
57
what gender does hemophilia c primarily effect?
equally in males and females
58
how is bleeding in hemophilia c compoared to a and b
less bleeding in C than A and B

M and F equally
63
what is von willebrand disease treated with?
DDAVP
64

A and B
66
hemophilia A and B is carried by the _____ and passed to the ____
mother, sons
67
what are complications from hemophilia? | 4 of them
* internal hemorrhage * transfusion reaction * hypovolemic shock * death
68
what can not be given for pain in hemophilia?
aspirin/ibuprofen (thins blood)
69
what diagnostic tests are used to look for hemophilia? | 3 of them
* chorionic villus sampling * amniocentesis * genetic testing (carriers)
70
what are the 3 treatments for hemophilia
* replacement of missing factor * home infusions * gene therapy (exploring it)
71
when is replacement of factors especially indicated in hemophilia?
when a child experiences mild to severe hemorrhage
72
why would factor replacement be scheduled for a hemophilia patient?
episodes can be controlled or avoided (earlier started, better outcome)
73
non-pharm method to help acute bleeding
RICE rest, ice, compression, elevate
74
describe injections in hemophilia patients
* give sub cue if possible * if not possible to avoid IM, administer replacement factor first
75

* pooled factor from blood products * recombinant factor * desmopressin acetate (DDAVP)
76
which replacement factor is made ina lab and does not contain blood?
recombinant factor
