Study These Flashcards
A

cardiac arrest and arrhythmia.

25
Leukopheresis may be indicated when the white blood cell count exceeds
100,000 per µL
26
What is immunoadsorption
refers to a method in which - a specific ligand is bound to an insoluble matrix in a column or filter - selective removal of the pathogenic substance - reinfused of the pts own plasma and cellular components
27
What can be done to prevent the development of HLA alloimmunization and platelet refractoriness?
Reduce the number of leukocytes in the platelet product.
28
Which of the following is not an indication for plasmapheresis?
To decrease iron deposition in tissues in chronically transfused patients
29
Transplants can be
allo- auto-syngenic
30
While undergoing plasmapheresis, the donor experienced numbness around his mouth, which is indicative of citrate toxicity. How can this be treated?
Administering exogenous calcium
31
During a plasmapheresis procedure, the red blood cells must be returned within how many hours of phlebotomy?
2 hrs
32
What effect do steroids have on leukapheresis?
Increase the vascular pool of granulocytes
33
What does the hematocrit need to be (regardless of gender) for a double red blood cell collection?
40%
34
A negative direct antiglobulin test (DAT) is found in all of the following transfusion reactions except:
Acute immune hemolytic transfusion rxn
35
Alloimmunization is categorized as what type of transfusion reaction?
Delayed nonhemolytic
36
HUS and TTP have similar simptoms
-Thrombocytopenia -Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia -Renal dysfunction - Central nervous system involvement
37
Sickle cell anemia
25% to 30% of pts with SCD will develop alloantibodies
38
TRALI Symptoms
Transfusion-related Acute lung injury -fever -no circulatory overload - EF:Normal - BNP: <250 picograms/mL -HTN -Exudate edema fluid - JVP (jugular venous pressure) unchanged - Transient leukopenia -inconsistent improvements
39
TACO
Transfusion Associated Circulatory overload - No fever - circulatory overload + - EF decreased -BNP (Brain natriuretic peptide) >1200pg/mL - HTN -edema fluid: transudate - JVP may be distended - leukocytes may be unchanged - improvement with diuretics
40
Transfusion reaction
- reactions with signs and symptoms present during or within 24 hrs of transfusion -can be grouped to common etiology
41
Transfusion rxn types
-TRALI -TACO -Hemolytic -Febrile -Allergic -Delayed hemolytic -bacterial
42
What causes TRALI
immune trali- implicated leukocyte Ab and components HLA nonimmune- predisposition of the pt
43
What are causes of TACO
- overload onto pts cardiovascular system leading to manifesting CHF
44
Immune hemolysis
- alloimmunization -cold aggl dz - PCH -PNH -Rhogham administration
45
Nonimmune hemolysis
- osmotic: incompatible fluids, improper glycerides - thermal- malfxn blood warmer - mechanical: small needles -hemoglobinopathies: SCD, HbC disease - RBC membrane or enzyme disorders - microangiopathic - infections: clastridial sepsis, malaria, babesiosis
46
What to do when immune AHTR suspected?
- stop transfusion immediately -clerical verification -physician notified
47
Febrile Non-hemolytic transfusion rxn
- >1°C (1.8°F) - asymptomatic rise in Temp in hypothermic pt not considered FNHTR - Etiology: related to two diff White cell related mechanisms: immune mediated mech. and plt storage changes and cytokines released from white cells present in the component
48
Allergic transfusion rxn
-occurs as a response of recipient Ab to an allergen present in the blood component
49
Delayed hemolytic transfusion rxn
- detection of new Red cell Ab after 24 hrs - secondary to amnestic response - may delayed hemolytic or may not delayed serologic be associated with shortened survival of the transfused cells
50
Transfusion-Transmitted Bacterial Infections
-evidence of pathogen -evidence in at least one of the following: component, donor at collection, and donation from prepared components or recipient of component from same donation -
51
TAGVHD
A delayed immune transfusion reaction due to an immunologic attack by viable donor lymphocytes contained in the transfused blood component against the transfusion recipient - gamma irradiation of cellular blood components
52
PTP
-A delayed immune complication of transfusion presenting with profound thrombocytopenia 1–24 days post transfusion
53
Refractoriness
- not responsive to therapy- plt given but not rising -some of these pts do not respond to plt transfusion because they have become alloimmunized to HLA Ag or plt specific antigens
54
blood products
considered drugs, adverse effects may occur, also transplantation because it can cause rejection
55
transfusion is primarily done to treat two conditions
-anemia -hemostasis- insufficient coag proteins or plt to provide adequate hemostasis
56
Freezing RBC
-allows long term storage rare blood -must add glycerol before freezing and wash to declycerolize before transfusion
57
cryoprecipitate
-primarily for fibrinogen replacement -150mg of fibrinogen and 80 units of Factor VII
