Clinical outcomes of ABO-incompatible RBC transfusions.
Factors that predict outcome after ABO-incompatible RBC transfusions are not well defined. We studied whether the volume of incompatible blood transfused would determine the signs and symptoms and survival outcome for ABO-incompatible RBC transfusions. We reviewed ABO-incompatible RBC transfusions from our institutions and our consultations for 35 years and from a survey of America's Blood Cent...
متن کاملGuidance for preventing errors in administering blood transfusions.
Administering a blood transfusion is a common part of nursing practice and a life-saving intervention. However, new guidance published by the RCN (2004) highlights that this is an area of practice with frequent errors. The guidance gives clear recommendations for good practice in the areas of sample collection, preadministration checking, and monitoring to recognise adverse reactions.
متن کاملLow rate of Rhesus immunization from Rh-incompatible blood transfusions during liver and heart transplant surgery.
Transfusion of one unit or more of Rh-positive red blood cells normally causes circulating anti-D antibody to appear 2-6 months later in 80-95% of Rh- persons. We asked whether transplant immunosuppression with cyclosporine and corticosteroids affects Rh immunization. Nineteen Rh- liver, heart, and heart-lung transplant recipients received 3-153 (median: 10) units of Rh+ RBCs at surgery and wer...
متن کاملIncompatible blood transfusions in liver transplant patients with significant red cell alloantibodies.
L IVER TRANSPLANT patients often need large amounts of blood. I The presence of significant red blood cell (RBC) alloantibodies in these patients complicates the blood bank's ability to provide the necessary blood products. In the first 1000 liver transplantations performed at our center, 13.7% of adults and 6.3% of children had significant RBC alloantibodies.2 We now have had 17 patients with ...
متن کاملProphylactic strategies for acute hemolysis secondary to plasma-incompatible platelet transfusions: correlation between qualitative hemolysin test and isohemagglutinin titration
OBJECTIVE Brazilian legislation has recently suggested the use of the qualitative hemolysin test instead of isohemagglutinin titers as prophylaxis for acute hemolysis related to plasma-incompatible platelet transfusions. The efficacy of this test in preventing hemolytic reactions has never been evaluated while isohemagglutinin titers have been extensively studied. The main objective of this stu...
