Directed donations - ANSWER are designated, they are from donors the client selects
such as family memebers or friends
- are not as safe as the client's own blood
- these blood donations are not equivalent to autologous donations, but are considered as
safe as any donation from a general community source
Anticoagulants - ANSWER Prevent clot formation:
Heparin (Antecdote - Protamine Sulfate)
Coumadin (Antecdote - Vit K.)
Bleeding precautions
PPT - Heparin
PT/INR - Coumadin
Cryoprecipitate - ANSWER an insoluble concentrate of certain coagulation factors ob-
tained from fresh frozen plasma
Frozen blood cells - ANSWER Gylercol added to protect cells
Can be frozen up to 10 years @ -65 degrees C
Thawed,cells washed and then must be used within 24 hours
Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) - ANSWER Increase clotting level factor:
Time completed: 30-60 mins
1
, Replace clotting factors
Therapeutic uses:
- hemorrhage
- burns
- shock
- thrombolytic thrombocytopenia Pupura (TTP)
- reverse effects of warfarin
Monitor for reaction:
- acute hemolytic
- febrile
- anaphylactic
- mild allergic
- hypervolemia
- sepsis
Platelet pheresis - ANSWER the removal of platelets from withdrawn blood; the remain-
der of the blood being reinfused into the donor
Leukopheresis - ANSWER The process in which blood is extracted from the donor, a leu-
kocyte concentrate is separated, and the remaining formed elements and residual plasma
are returned to the donor.
Plasma pheresis - ANSWER removal of blood from the body and centrifuging it to sepa-
rate the plasma from the blood and re-infusing the cellular elements back into the patient
