45 days
|
|
How long can plasma be stored?
|

|
What is found in cryoprecipitate?
|

Fibrinogen Factor VIII |
|
How is cryoprecipitate formed?
|
Thaw plasma in the cold
|
|
How do you manufacture platelets?
|
1. Centrifuge the platelet rich plasma
2. Take off the supernatant, you've got platelets There's not enough here for 1 person, so you need to combine 4-5 units to get enough for it to be useful |

HepB
HepC Trypanosoma HIV HCV West nile virus |
|
What are the adverse effects of blood donation?

|
5 days
|
|
Where do you store platelets?
|
Room temperature
|
|
What's the problem with platelet storage?
|
Activation
-P-selectin expression -CD40L release Granule release -B-thromboglobulin -CCL5, CXCL4, CXCL7 Lectin mediated clearance |
|
What kinds of red cell antibodies are there?
|

|
|
What are you testing for with red cell indirect antiglobulin test?
|
IgG antibodies
|
|
What are you testing for with red cell direct antiglobulin test?
|
IgG or C3 coated cells
|
|
How do you do an indirect antiglobulin test? What are you looking for?
|
1. Patient serum with Ab
2. Mix serum with RBCs of known phenotype 3. Wash 4. Apply anti-IgG to serum If you get a reaction, there are patient IgG antibodies against that kind of cell |
|
How do you do a direct antibody antiglobulin test?
|
1. Take patients cells with the stuff already on it
2. Use anticomplement, anti IgG Reaction, there are already the complement/IgG on the body |
|
What are the applications of the direct antiglobulin test?
|
Autoimmune hemolytic anemias
Transfusion reactions Drug-induced hemolysis Cold agglutinin disease Autoimmune diseases |
|
What are tests that you do before transfusing?
|
ABO typing:
-A and b antigen tests -Anti-A and Anti-B antibody test Rh(D) typing Red cell antibody screen |
|
What are causes of blood typing discrepancies?
|
Transplantation
Bone marrow problems/cancers Neonates (<4 months) Infections We just need to know that there are different reasons that blood can't work! |
