graft-host disease occurs in what patient population
|
immunocompromised patients
|
|
graft-host disease in blood transfusions is caused by
|
the lymphocytes of the donor blood attacking the host
|
|
for immunocompromised people needing blood, you should give
|
only irradiated blood products that have hopefully killed the lymphocytes since filters do not effectively remove all the lymphocytes
|
|
how is the immune system is affected by blood transfusion

the transfusion of leukocytes causes immunosuppression which is good in organ transplants but bad if it helps tumors grow

|
1:10,000
|
|
parvovirus b-19 is a problem for

pregnant patients - may cause hydrops fetalis, stillbirth
|
|
other diseases possibly transmitted by blood transfusions (very rare)
|
Epstein-Barr, Human herpes 4 and 6, Syphilis, West Nile (no proven cases), Creutzfeld Jakob (not sure either - but seems possible)
|
|
what about syphilis and blood transfusions
|
syphilis doesn't survive cold storage, but platelets are kept at room temperature so could be a risk
|
|
Creutzfel Jakob disease is
|
a fatal neurodegenerative disease transmitted by prion infected meat and dura mater grafts, corneal transplants, reuse of EKG electrodes, pituitary growth hormone injections, and potentially blood transfusions
|
|
examples of prion caused diseases
|
Scrapie (sheep), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease), chronic wasting disease (deer and elk), Kuru (New Guinea tribe that ate the brains)
|
|
prions infect and propagate by
|
folding themselves into protein structures in the cells
|
|
why did the Red Cross have to pay 4.5 million $$$$
|
did not ask blood donors if they had been to Europe and eaten beef
|
|
What is the chance of receiving contaminated PRBCs
|
1:500,000
|
|
death rate if receive contaminated PRBCs
|
50%
|
|
chance of receiving contaminated platelets
|
1:12,000 - high death rate
|
|
contamination in PRBC or platelets is due to
|
bacteria on the skin during the donation process
|
|
changes in stored blood
|
increased plasma potassium, ammonia, lactate levels, red cell lysis
decreased pH, 2,3 DPG, RBC ATP levels |
|
what is citrate intoxication
|
the CPDA anticoagulant preservative solution in a unit of PRBCs contains citrate that binds ionized calcium - so large transfusions (more than 1 unit) can cause a reduction in serum ionized calcium
|
|
signs and symptoms of citrate intoxication
|
hypotension, narrow pulse pressure, prolonged Q-T, wide QRS, coagulopathy
|
|
what to remember about Citrate
|
it is metabolized by the liver to bicarb over a few days - so watch for alkalosis later on
|
|
treatment for citrate intoxication
|
0.2 - 0.25 ml/kg calcium chloride (10%) over 10 minutes and recheck ionized calcium
|
|
CPDA binds calcium causing
|
decreased heart contractility, decreased clotting, vasodilation because decreased smooth muscle contractility
|
|
why don't we give LR with PRBCs
|
LR contains calcium and citrate will bind to the calcium to cause microaggregate clot formation (may lead to TRALI). Also, LR is slightly hypoosmotic
|

|
what is the cause of metabolic acidosis during blood transfusions
|
usually due to an effect of hypoperfusion not the blood transfusion, the body is very effective at buffering several units of blood
|
|
why and when do you see metabolic alkalosis related to blood transfusions
|
citrate metabolism to bicarb in the liver so will see metabolic alkalosis several days after blood transfusions sometimes
|
|
does the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve shift left or right with blood transfusions
|
overall left shift with banked blood because of reduced temperature and reduced 2,3 DPG even though the acidosis would want to shift it right
|
|
why risk of hyperkalemia with blood transfusions (Gayles never seen this as a real problem)
|
as H+ increase, K+ moves out of cells to maintain neutrality
red cell lysis if PRBCs transfused through small bore catheter hypotonic infusion solution |
|
problems from hypothermia in RBC transfusion
|
decreased CO, vasonconstriction, shift left on oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, coagulopathy, shivering
|
|
shivering increases O2 consumption by
|
400%
|
|
when transfusing cold blood
|
WARM it (will help anesthesia work better as well as prevent other side effects of hypothermia)
|
|
what lab values will you see with dilutional coagulopathy from RBC transfusions
|
thrombocytopenia will develop before loss of coag factors so give platelets
|
|
how to differentiate between dilutional coagulopathy and DIC
|
platelets will be the issue with dilutional coagulopathy whereas DIC will see big increase in FSP (D-dimer)
|
|
what is D-dimer
|
one of the FSP
|
|
risks associated with blood transfusions
|
disease transmission, graft-host disease, immune suppression, citrate intoxication, left shift of dissociation curve, hyperkalemia, hypothermia, dilutional coagulopathy, acute hemolytic reactions, non-hemolytic reactions, TRALI
|
|
What to know about Jehovah's witnesses and blood transfusions
|
will not accept donated blood or blood that has left the circulation, closed systems are sometimes OK (CABG), sign blood refusal form, eliminate religious pressure by talking to patient alone, remember some other products are partial blood products, may give procrit, epogen for 2-6 weeks before seeing result
|
|
conservation strategies for preventing too much blood loss
|
autologous blood, discourage family donation of blood, cell saver, CT autotransfusions, tourniquets, acute normovolemic hemodilution
|
|
What about cell saver?
|
anticoagulate blood - spins out RBC's, washes the cells with saline, all platelets coags removed, Hct 45 - 50%,
|
|
Secured Party versus Purchaser
|
1. General rule = secured party prevails
2. Debtor has permission to sell = purchaser prevails 3. Secured party unperfected at time of purchase - purchaser wins if (1) buyer gives value, (2) receives delivery of item, and (3) has no knowledge of security interest at time of delivery; but if PMSI creditor perfects within 20 days after debtor receives collateral but after debtor sells collateral to purchaser, creditor will prevail over the "gap" purchaser 4. Buyers in the ordinary course of business can prevail even over a perfected creditor if (a) good faith, (b) without knowledge of security interest violation, (c) purchase of goods that are not farm goods, (d) ordinary purchase from person in the business of selling goods of the kind, (e) security interest created by seller, and (f) creditor not perfected by possession |

|
|
why not family donated blood
|
sets up family for deception
|
|
describe acute normovolemic hemodilution
|
remove blood prior to surgery, replace with crystalloid so fewer RBCs are loss during surgery, return with own blood after surgery with none of the risks associated with storage of blood
|
|
contraindications for acute normovolemic hemodilution
|
anemia, decreased renal function, CAD, carotid disease, pulmonary disease, liver disease, inadequate vascular access
|
|
2 complications of acute normovolemic hemodilution
