25
What is fresh frozen plasma for?
Liver disease, warfarin overdose; DIC, TTP, [down arrow]CF d/t large volume transfusions
26
Name the indications for blood transfusions
Improvement in oxygen-carrying capacity; Treatment anemia; Volume replacement
27
The treatment of anemia
Hgb approaching 9 g/dL
28
Volume replacement
Blood loss can be evaluated by estimation in wound, drapes, sponges, suctioned
29
Describe the study that verified this
A prospective randomized controlled trial in critically ill patients that compared a restrictive transfusion threshold to a more liberal strategy
30
What did the study demonstrate?
It demonstrated that maintaining hemoglobin levels between 7 and 9 g/dL had no adverse effect on mortality. In fact, patients with APACHE II scores of <20 or patients age <55 years actually had a lower mortality.
31
Loss of <20% blood -->
Crystalloid solution
32
Loss of >20% blood -->
Additional packed RBC
33
Massive transfusion -->
Addition of fresh frozen plasma
34
What is the rationale for new concepts in resuscitation?
In civilian trauma systems, nearly half of all deaths happen before a patient reaches the hospital, and many are nonpreventable. Patients who survive to an emergency center have a high incidence of truncal hemorrhage, and deaths in this group of patients may be potentially preventable.
35
Truncal hemorrhage patients in shock often present with what?
The early coagulopathy of trauma in the emergency department. They are at significant risk of dying.
36
What are the three basic components of damage control resuscitation?
Red Blood Cells; Plasma; Platelets
37
In Iraq and Afghanistan, what was the variation of plasma:platelet: red blood cell ratios?
They varied from 1:1:1 to 0.3:0.1:1, with corresponding survival rates ranging from 71% to 41%
38
A recent prospective observational study evaluating current transfusion practice at 10 Level 1 centers documented what?
The wide variability in practice and improved outcomes with earlier use of increased ratios of plasma and platelets
39
79 patients receiving ratios less than 1:2 were how many times more likely to die than patients with ratios of 1:1 or higher?
4 times
40
What are febrile nonhemolytic reactions?
Increase in temp >1degree C associated with a transfusion (1% of transfusions)
41
What are some bacterial contaminations of infused blood?
Yersinia enterocolitica, Pseudomonas
42
What to do in the case of bacterial contamination of infused blood?
Emergency! Discontinue transfusion ASAP; Oxygen, adrenergic blocking agents, antibiotics
43
What percentage of transfusions result in allergic reactions?
1%
44
What are the symptoms of an allergic reaction during transfusion?
Mild rash, urticaria and fever within 60-90 minutes of the start of transfusion
45
What is the treatment for mild allergic reaction?
Antihistamines
46
What is the treatment for severe allergic reaction?
Steroids or epinephrine
47
What are respiratory complications associated with?
Transfusion-associated circulatory overload
48
When do respiratory complications occur?
Occur with rapid infusion of blood, plasma expanders, crystalloids especially in older patients with heart disease
49
What are the symptoms of respiratory complications?
Rise in venous pressure, dyspnea, cough, rales in LLF
50
What is a transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)?
Noncardiogenic pumonary edema related to transfusion
51
When can a TRALI occur?
Occurs with administration of any plasma-containing blood product
52
What are the symptoms of TRALI?
Fever, rigors, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on CXR
53
When can TRALI occur?
Within 1-2 hours after onset of transfusion (before 6 hours)
54
What is the cause of acute hemolytic?
Administration of ABO-incompatible blood
55
In what percentage of cases is acute hemolytic fatal?
6%
56
What commonly leads to the administration of ABO-incompatible blood?
Technical or clerical errors
57
What are the symptoms of immediate hemolytic?
Intravascular destruction of RBCs and consequent hemoglobinemia and hemoglobinuria; acute renal insufficiency d/t toxicity associated with free Hgb in the plasma; tubular necrosis and precipitation of Hgb in tubules
58
When could delayed hemolytic reaction occur?
Occur 7-20 days after transfusion
59
What are the symptoms of a delayed hemolytic reaction?
Extravascular hemolysis, mild anemia, indirect hyperbilirubinemia; low antibody titer at time of transfusion but titer increases after transfusion; anamnestic response
60
What diseases can be transmitted through transfusion?
Malaria (P. malariae), Chagas' disease, Brucellosis, Syphilis, CMV infection
61
What to look for in careful review of the patient's history?
Abnormal bleeding/bruising, drug use
62
A platelet count > 1 M / uL could lead to what?
Bleeding or thrombotic complications
63
A platelet count < 100 T / uL will require what?
Major surgical procedures
64
A platelet count < 50 T / uL will require what?
Minor surgical procedures
65
A platelet count < 20 T/ uL will result in what?
Spontaneous bleeding
