Donors
This is the minimum hemoglobin concentration for male allogenic donors required by the FDA.
What is 13 g/dL?
Most clinically significant antibodies are from this class.
What is IgG?
This may result in brain damage if bilirubin binds to tissues of the central nervous system.
What is Kernicterus?
Cryoprecipitate is prepared from this other blood component.
What is FFP?
Name the reaction that causes the following:
DAT: positive or negative
↑ Plasma-free hemoglobin
↑ Serum bilirubin
↓ Haptoglobin
Hemoglobinuria
What is acute hemolytic transfusion reaction?
This agency establishes donor criteria through the Code of Federal Regulations.
What is the food and drug administration (FDA)?
This is an antibody to a high incidence antigen.
What is Anti-Lub?
This is the most common antibody implicated in mild HDFN.
What is Anti-A,B?
This blood component is stored at 20-24 C for 5 days.
What are platelets?
These are the most commonly encountered transfusion reaction.
What is Allergic/Urticarial?
The length of deferral after the conclusion of pregnancy.
What is 6 months?
This antigen is very immunogenic, second only to D antigen, in stimulating antibody production.
What is K?
This antibody causes the most severe type of HDFN, resulting in cardiac failure, kernicterus, or death.
What is Anti-D?
RBCs are expected to increase the hematocrit by this amount/transfused unit.
What is 3%?
Fever (1–2° C increase), Chills, Hypoxia, Dyspnea (shortness of breath), Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin), Nonproductive cough, New onset bilateral pulmonary edema, Hypotension, Acute onset within 6 hr of blood transfusion are symptoms of this type of reaction.
What is TRALI?
Weakness, sweating, dizziness, pallor, nausea, and vomiting when donating blood products are known collectively as this.
What is an adverse donor reaction?
These antigens are destroyed by enzymes and have a relationship to malarial parasites.
What are Duffy?
This test is also known as a fetal screen and detects FMH.
What is a rosette test?
This type of unit is chosen to prevent allergic, febrile,
or anaphylactic reactions.
What are washed RBCs?
This condition may progress to shock, hemoglobinuria, DIC, and renal failure.
What is transfusion related sepsis?
This is the length of deferral for someone who has received human pituitary growth hormone.
What is indefinite?
These antibodies may bind complement and are a common cause of delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. Their detection is aided by enzymes, low-ionic-strength solution (LISS), and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
What are Kidd antibodies (Anti-Jka and Anti-Jkb)?
Group O, D-negative RBCs; alloantibody, unit should be negative for corresponding antigen; RBCs collected within 7 days (fresh); Irradiated to prevent graft-versus-host disease; negative for cytomegalovirus and/or leukocyte reduced; negative for hemoglobin S is used for this type of transfusion.
What is intrauterine transfusion?
This type of unit is transfused to correct abnormal coagulation assays from mass transfusion and for patients taking warfarin who are bleeding.
What is FFP?
The component-focused evaluation of the transfusion reaction is the responsibility of this.
What is the blood banker?
