Term
Crossmatch
Definition
only one part of pretransfusion testing
Term
Main functions of crossmatch
Definition
are (1) It is a final check of ABO compatibility between donor and patient and (2) It may detect the presence of an antibody in the patient’s serum that will react with antigens on the donor RBCs but that was not detected in antibody screening because the corresponding antigen was lacking from the screening cells.
Term
An emergency crossmatch
Definition
O negative packed cells
Term
minimum protocol
Definition
set by AABB, accurate records, label on all units,
Term
ABO incompatibilty
Definition
only packed red cells
Term
clinically significant antibodies
Definition
matched in donors
Term
Newborns
Definition
less than 4 months, compatible with moms antibodies, blood has to be less than 7 days old
Term
Pretransfusion testing for newborns
Definition
heel stick specimen, forward typing, only reverse if donor is not group O, AbSc with moms specimen, once per hospital admission
Term
Patients with anitbodies
Definition
transfusion product must be antigen negative
Term
1 clinically significant antibody and need 1 unit of antigen negative blood
Definition
# of units (1)/frequency of the absence of the antigen = number of units which need to be screened
Term
multiple clinically significant antibodies and need multiple units of antigen negative blood
Definition
multiply the percentages of population which is negative or antigens (x)

number of units requested /x = number of units to test
Term
when can you give an rh neg rh pos blood?
Definition
male, women not of childbearing age
Term
Massive transfusion
Definition
10 units in 24 hours, xm can be eliminated until CSAB
Term
transfusion of least incompatible blood
Definition
fresh sample from patient for presence of unexpected anti-a/b prior to transfusion that patients original type
