Patient ID

Donor phlebotomy



Sample collection

Preanalytic/analytic/postanalytic errors


Whole blood - Indications & anticipated therapeutic effects of transfusion



Indications:


-actively bleeding pts & those who have lost greater than 25% blood

RBCs - Indications & anticipated therapeutic effects of transfusion


PLTs - Indications & anticipated therapeutic effects of transfusion

 


Plasma - Indications & anticipated therapeutic effects of transfusion


Cyroprecipitate - Indications & anticipated therapeutic effects of transfusion


Defend the rational for pre-donation screening

enhance safety for the blood recipient and the blood donor

PRBC prep

-leuko-reduction


-washed


-pooled

FFP prep

plasma that is removed from a donor, separated, and placed in freezer w/in 8 h of collection (or 6 h, ifACD is the anticoagulant/preservative)

PLT prep

-leuko-reduction


-washed


-pooled

Cryoprecipitate prep

-thawed FFP @ refrigerated T


--if pooled using closed system, once thawed, use w/in 6 h


--if pooled using open system, once thawed, use w/in 4 h

Use of leuko-reduction (LR) of both RBCs & PLTs



-neonates


-transplant recipients


-pts w/ history of FNHTRs

Use of irradiation

To prevent Transfusion Associated Graft vs Host Disease (TV-GVHD) (gamma irradiation prevents T cell proliferation)


-fetal & neonatal recipients


-immunocomp pts


-recipients of blood components from blood relative


-marrow, stem cell transplant recipient


-recipients receiving HLA-matched donor components

Use of cryoprecipitate

*cold insoluble ppt containing FI, FVIII, FXIII, vWF & fibronectin


-bleeding associated w/ FI deficiency (<100 mg/dL) &/or FXIII deficiency, & volume issues prevent use of FFP


-2nd line therapy for severe vWD & hemophilia A



Use of RBC & platelet washing

RBCs:


-IgA deficient pts


-neonates


-fetus (intrauterine transfusion)


PLTs:


-IgA deficient pts


-pts w/ severe life threatening plasma allergies uncontrollable w/ meds

Use of red cell rejuvenation

*soln containing phosphate, pyruvate, inosine & adenine


-to restore 2,3-DPG and ATP levels in RBCs collected in CPD or CPDA-1 during storage or w/in 3 days after expiration, extends freezing exp date (longer than a yr), extends transfusion date

Blood typing



-classification of blood based on presence or absence of Ags on surface of RBCs

Detection and ID of antibodies

-Screen: detects Ab to Ag resulting from exposure to red cells through transfusion & pregnancy


-ID: determines Ab specificity for Ab or Abs detected in Ab screen

Compatibility testing

-detect unexpected Abs in the pt/ prevent transfusion rxn (2nd check of Ab screen)


-establish ABO comp between pt & blood products/ maximize in vivo RBC survival (2nd check of ABO errors)

Quality control in BB

-to determine whether analytical phase of testing is working properly

Rationalize additional testing of samples in cases of incomplete antibody workups




Anti-A,B (non-routine) use



used for O donor units

Antiglobulin (AHG) mechanism & use

cross-links IgG sensitized RBCs

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) mechanism & use

reduces zeta potential & membrane hydration

Low ionic strength saline (LISS) mechanism & use

lowers ionic strength, incr rate of Ab uptake

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) mechanism & use

lowers ionic strength, enhance Ab uptake, concentrates Ab

Proteolytic enzymes: papain, ficin & bromealin mechanism & use

reduces RBC zeta potential by removing neg charges; destroys some RBC Ag

Dolichos biflorusmechanism

binds A1 Ag

Ulex europaeus

binds H Ag

Vicia graminea

binds N Ag

Iberis amara

binds M Ag

Massive transfusion - need for and/or type of compatibility testing req & recommend steps



-T&S


-XM (O, Rh neg when XM not done)

Autologous blood transfusion - need for and/or type of compatibility testing req & recommend steps

-ABO & Rh only


-Infectious disease testing ONLY IF transfused outside collection facility (may transfuse viral positive blood w/ permissions)

Red cell transfusion of infant less than 4 mo - need for and/or type of compatibility testing req & recommend steps

-ABO (no reverse type-no production of Ab) & Rh only


-Ab screen: if pos=give Ag neg blood or IAT XM-compatible blood; if neg=NO XM as long as O RBCs are transfused


-If a non-group O neonate is to receive non-group O RBCs NOT comp w/ maternal ABO group, neonate's serum/plasma is tested for anti-A or anti-B

Non-red cell products - need for and/or type of compatibility testing req & recommend steps

-Plasma: not usually XM (unless sig RBCs in plasma/PLTs)


-PLTs: not usually XM

ABO compatibilities for WB, RBCs & Plasma/PLT transfusions



-PRBCs: same ABO/Rh type otherwise compatible 
-Rh-neg to Rh-neg (exceptions, not clin sig: anti-A1, anti-P1, anti-Lu^a, anti-M or anti-N)

-PRBCs: same ABO/Rh type otherwise compatible


-Rh-neg to Rh-neg (exceptions, not clin sig: anti-A1, anti-P1, anti-Lu^a, anti-M or anti-N)

Priority of blood products in a massive transfusion & in cases of limited blood and blood product supplies


Analyze topic-related case studies and propose valid solutions (Look @ examples)
