Terms in this set (102)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 Which of the following is a warning sign of an immediate hemolytic transfusion reaction (IHTR) in a anesthetized patient ? Hypotension In what circumstance would a direct antiglobulin test (DAT) be negative in the presence of a hemolytic process? Donor red cells have been completely destroyed. Which of the following is a possible etiology for an allergic (urticarial) transfusion reaction? The donor plasma has a foreign protein with which IgE or IgG in patient's plasma reacts A patient transfused with 2 units of packed cells spiked a fever of 99.5 degrees * F and complained of chills 3 days after transfusion. The DAT was positive with polyspecific antisera and anti-IgG, but negative with anti-C3d. Compatibility testing was performed on the pre- and post-transfusion specimens. 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: Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) caused by anamnestic response A 35-year-old woman was transfused with 1 unit of packed red blood cells. The nurse monitoring the transfusion noticed hives on the patients arm and an increase in body temperature.

True A patient undergoing transfusion of packed red blood cells became hypotensive and cyanotic 30 minutes into the transfusion. The nurse also noted a 0.8°C increase in temperature. The transfusion was stopped and postblood specimens were sent down to the laboratory for a transfusion reaction investigation. The donor serum was tested against screening cells (3-vials) and was reactive at AHG in all vials. A panel was performed, and anti-Bga was identified. What special blood component should this patient now receive? leukopoor What is the pathophysiologic cause surrounding anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions?

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.
