What should be done in the transfusion process when the patient temperature spikes from 37.5^C to 38.5 ^C within 30 minutes of transfusion?

Stop the transfusion and keep the intravenous line open

A 41-year-old multiparous woman was rushed to the emergency room after being shot in the chest. She received 8 units of packed red blood cells and 5 units of platelets. The hemoglobin and hematocrit determinations stabilized after 6 hours in surgery, but the platelet counts remained less than 50,000 per µL. She had received additional units of platelets at 48-hour intervals with little efficacy. Her serum was tested for platelet antibodies. She was placed on corticosteroids to control chest wound bleeding. Anti-PLA1 was identified in the patient's serum. This case is representative of what type of transfusion reaction?

Post-transfusion purpura

A patient with 2 or more documented febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions(FNHTRs) should receive —————- blood components?

Leukopoor

What measure can be taken to prevent transfusion-associated hypothermia?

Transfusion of product using a blood warmer

Persons with a documented history of anaphylactic reactions should be transfused with —————— blood products.

Washed

A postpartum woman was crossmatched for 2 units of packed red blood cells. The first unit was issued at 3:15 a.m. At 3:45 a.m., the nurse called the blood bank and stated the patient was developing red hives and pruritus (itching). The transfusion was stopped and a post-transfusion specimen was drawn. The unit and identification tags were returned to the blood bank. The DAT on the specimen was negative, and hemolysis was absent. All visual and clerical checks were satisfactory. The pathologist ordered the treatment of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for all subsequent transfusions. What type of transfusion reaction has occurred in this patient?

Allergic (urticarial)

What premedication therapy is beneficial for thrombocytopenic patients with a known history of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) when leukopoor filters are not available?

Acetaminophen

The latter was incompatible with one of the donor units transfused. An antibody screen was done on both the pre- and post-transfusion specimens. An antibody was detected in the post-transfusion specimen only and identified by panel studies as anti-Jka. This transfusion reaction is most likely caused by:

What causes delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction?

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTR) are caused by an anamnestic antibody response in the recipient precipitated by re-exposure to a non-ABO red cell antigen previously introduced by transfusion, transplantation or pregnancy.

What is the most common cause of hemolytic transfusion reactions?

The most common cause for a major hemolytic transfusion reaction is a clerical error, such as a mislabelled specimen sent to the blood bank, or not properly identifying the patient to whom you are giving the blood.

Which antibody is most commonly associated with delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction?

Duffy, Rh, Kidd, MNS, and Kell antigens are most often associated with delayed reactions. Kidd antibodies are notorious for an anamnestic response that can result in brisk intravascular hemolysis.
