trans med Flashcards
(107 cards)
TRANSFUSION MEDICINE IS used primarily to treat two conditions:
inadequate oxygen-carrying capacity
because of anemia or blood loss and
insufficient coagulation proteins or platelets to
provide adequate hemostasis.
Done to prevent circulatory overload and
adverse reaction
COMPONENT THERAPY
RBC CONTAINING
● Whole blood
● Packed RBC
● Leukocyte reduced rbc
● Washed rbc
● Deglycerolized RBC
Contains all blood plasma and cellular
elements
WHOLE BLOOD
Increases RBC and plasma volume
WHOLE BLOOD
DO NOT GIVE to patients with severe
chronic anemia
WHOLE BLOOD
RBC with no plasma
PACKED RBC (PRBC)
GIVEN to patients who needs increased o2
carrying capacity
PACKED RBC (PRBC)
prbc is given to individuals with
○ Increased Respiratory rate
○ Increased Pulse rate
○ Increased Respiratory rate >30/min
○ Increased Pulse rate >100/min
how is plasma separated in PRBC
via centrifugation and sedimentation
transfure prbc
disease state -
healthy
Low hgb
■ Disease state = 8g/dl
■ Intact compensatory
mechanism = 6g/dl
to prevent
○ viral infection
○ conditions triggered by leukocytes and
cytokines
LEUKOCYTE REDUCED RBC
average unit of leukocyte-reduced
RBCs contains
less than 5 × 10^6
leukocytes
how much leukocyte toprevents febrile
non-hemolytic reactions
○ 5 x 10^8
leukocytes are inactivated by
irradiation or
removed via leukocyte depletion filters
PRBCs washed with isotonic saline solution
to remove all traces of plasma
WASHED RBC
Prevents allergic response due to plasma
proteins due to washing process
WASHED RBC
Also indicated for patients with Anti-IgA due
to IgA deficiency
WASHED RBC
TRANSFUSE IF
Acute blood loss of
< 15% of estimated blood
volume
To get blood volume,
weight times
70
○ 70 is the average blood factor
TRANSFUSE IF Preoperative Hb ?? g/dL with expected blood loss OF mL
Preoperative Hb < 9.0 g/dL with expected
blood loss > 500 mL
TRANSFUSE IF
● Hb < 7.0 g/dL in a
critically ill patient
TRANSFUSE IF
● Hb < 8.0 g/dL in a patient with
an acute
coronary syndrome
TRANSFUSE IF
● Hb < 10.0 g/dL with
uremic or
thrombocytopenic bleeding
