4085780400Plasma products (FFP, platelets, cryo)Do not need to be x-matched1
4085780401X-match agglutinationCan express itself as hemolysis in vivo2
40857804021 unit of transfused RBC's> hematocrit by 3% and hemoglobin by 1g/dl3
4085780403Transfusion collection samplesShould be collected within 3 days of the transfusion4
4085780404All units of whole blood or RBC's received by the hospitalMust be retyped for assurance.5
4085780405Rh neg units received by the hospitalMust be retyped6
4085780406AABB and FDA2 primary blood bank organizations7
4085780407IS x-matchUsed on patients with neg antibody screen and no history8
4085780408Electronic x-matchFinal ABO compatibility check made my the computer. Will flag if a problem occurs9
4085780409Antiglobulin x-matchMust be preformed if patients has an antibody or antibody history. Most hospitals preform on all transfusion patients.10
4085780410AHG (AGT)Sometimes considered the single most important immunohematology procedure.11
4085780411Requirements for returning bloodMust be unopened and returned within 30 min12
4085780412Type specific bloodAlways the best option for patient13
4085780413O neg bloodCan be given if blood is needed without time to perform a type14
4085780414Max surgical blood order scheduleList of surgeries with commonly used numbers of blood units. Prevents Drs from ordering too much unneeded blood15

4085780416Tests preformed during a type and screenABO, Rh, and IAT17
4085780417Products that contain >2ml of RBC'sMust be x-matched18
4085780418Products with lrg volumes of plasmaMust be ABO serum compatible19
4085780419Exchange transfusionTreat both anemia and hyperbilirubinemia that characterize HDN20
4085780420Exchange transfusion procedureSmall amounts of the babies blood are removed and replaced with compatible donor blood until 1-2 total blood volume exchanges are accomplished21
40857804212 volume exchanges remove80-90% of antibody coated RBCs and 25-35% of the bilirubin22
4085780422Exchange transfusions are warranted ifBilirubin levels > greater than 0.5mg/dl per hr or a rise of 10 mg/dl in the first 24 hrs23
4085780423Bilirubin > 20mg/dlWill negatively affect brain function24

4085780425Acceptable alternative blood group donors for whole bloodNone. Must be identical to recipient26
4085780426Selection of blood for x-matching1st- type patient and give type specific blood. 2nd- give Rh compatible blood 3rd- give antigen negative units of blood.27
4085780427Emergency transfusion situationsPartial or uncrossmatched blood may be requested by dr. An emergency release form must be filled out and signed by dr. Typing and compatibility testing must still be carried out.28
