Blood Transfusion

In order to qualify to be a blood donor, your weight must be above ...kg

Fresh Frozen Plasma is given to patients who require ...

Arrange the following into 'blood components' and 'blood products': Red Blood Cells = [blank_start]Blood Component[blank_end] Anti-D Immunoglobulin = [blank_start]Blood Product[blank_end] Prothrombin Complex Concentrate = [blank_start]Blood Product[blank_end] Fresh Frozen Plasma = [blank_start]Blood Component[blank_end] Cryoprecipitate = [blank_start]Blood Component[blank_end]

The gene which encodes the ABO system of an individual is found on which chromosome? Chromosome [blank_start]9[blank_end]

‘A’ and ‘B’ genes code for transferases which modify precursor called ‘[blank_start]H substance[blank_end]’ on red cell membrane

In the ABO system, both A and B are [blank_start]dominant[blank_end] over O

O is a [blank_start]recessive[blank_end] trait in the ABO system.

What is the most common ABO group?

Landsteiner's Law states that when an individual lacks the A or B antigen the corresponding [blank_start]antibody[blank_end] is produced in their plasma

Those who are group AB can receive blood from

An individual with group B blood can receive blood from which of the following donors?

An individual with group O blood can receive blood from which of the following donor types?

The Rh System described whether an individual has or does not have the RhD antigen. 85% of the population are RhD [blank_start]positive[blank_end] (they [blank_start]do[blank_end] have the antigen)

Would a person with one dominant RhD gene and one recessive RhD gene be RhD positive or negative? They would be RhD [blank_start]positive[blank_end]

A person with RhD negative blood can have blood donated from both an RhD positive donor and an RhD negative donor

Blood typing involves adding Anti-D, Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies to a sample of an individual's blood. If the blood agglutinates in response to the addition of an antibody then it is positive for that antigen. This is considered a positive (+) test result. What is this individual's blood type? Anti-D = + Anti-B = + Anti-A = + The blood group is [blank_start]AB+[blank_end]

The addition of which globulin can speed up the agglutination reaction, thus speeding up antibody screening? [blank_start]Anti-human[blank_end] Globulin

Symptomatic anaemia with Hb levels below [blank_start]70[blank_end]g/L requires blood transfusion

Patients should only be transfused blood a single unit at a time, each time being reassessed for a response.

Platelet transfusion does not tend to be given until the patient's platelets are at around [blank_start]10x10^3[blank_end] (normal range = 150x10^3 - 450x10^3)

Observations of the patient should be conducted [blank_start]15[blank_end] minutes after the blood has been given and within [blank_start]60[blank_end] minutes of the transfusion being completed
