Consider a slower rate in patients with or at risk of congestive cardiac failure. See page on Observations. The standard therapeutic dose for Fresh Frozen Plamsa is mL per kg bodyweight.
For paediatric patients, the dose should be written in mL, not units. This calculator will compute the dose of FFP your patient may need. Patient's weight kg. If a blood product has been double checked at the bedside and it is removed from the bedside, do I need to double check the blood again when the blood is brought back to the patient's bedside?
Yes, a blood product must always be re-checked following the normal procedure if , for any reason, the product is removed from the bedside. If there are signatures already on the form documenting the double check, sign above the original signatures.
July, version. Immediately Prior to Blood Transfusion. Can I transfuse different products through regular blood tubing? Yes, unless otherwise stated in the instructions for use on the blood tubing packaging you can transfuse red blood cells, platelets, plasma or cryo through the same filter set.
However, the products should be transfused sequentially not simultaneously. Blood filter sets should be changed when debris builds up, when the transfusion episode is complete, or every 24 hours, whichever comes first.
Can I mix different products in the same set at the same time? Unless it is an urgent situation, only one unit should be transfused at one time. Different products should not be transfused at the same time using the same filter set even in cases of emergency. Sepatate filter sets should be used. Can a PALL white blood cell removal filter be used with an infusion pump?
If a product outdates while hanging, is it still good? For how long? The transfusion should be started prior to unit outdate and completed within 4 hours. If it is anticipated that blood or blood components cannot be infused within 4 hours, request that the blood bank divide the unit. The second part of the unit will be stored appropriately in the blood bank until needed. What components need to be double checked before transfusion?
When do you use a Pall leukocyte removal filter? When removal of white blood cells is required and the leukocyte reduction has not been performed prior to use of the component. Patients who require leukocyte-reduced components include:. Immune compromised patients Patients with repeated febrile transfusion reactions Patients at risk of acquiring CMV infection Patients at risk of becoming refractory to platelet transfusions Bone marrow and stem cell transplant patients Kidney transplant patients Page 22 Blood Transfusion Policies and Standard Practices.
If I use a Pall leukocyte-removal filter do I need to use a blood administration tubing set as well? A blood administration tubing set is not required if a Pall filter is used since the Pall filter also prevents the infusion of clots. Is there any written information on how staff could determine how long to run a unit of Red Blood cells for kids? I see adult tranfusoin flow rates in the blood information. All transfusions should be completed within 4 hours and prior to component expiration. If it is anticipated that blood or blood components cannot be infused within 4 hours, they should be divided and stored appropriately in the blood bank until needed.
This applies tothe transfusion of both adults and children. The concern is possible bacterial growth in the blood component. Thus, the age of the patient is not the concern. How do I handle an emergency transfusion? Clink on this link. How is albumin transfused? A general consent for treatment covers infusion of albumin. Manufacturer's instructions vary as to the requirement for a filter. Our current policy is that no filter is needed.
In general, Maximum rates of I. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for infusion instructions. Can a double lumen catheter be used to transfuse blood components? Double and triple lumen catheters are placed in fast flowing vessels and the blood component does not mix with the other fluid in the IV tubing. They may be used for blood infusion unless it is not recommened by the manufacturer. What are my responsibilities when caring for a patient with a suspected transfusion reaction?
Temperature rise of 1. A temperature rise of 1. The fever may or may not be accompanied by chills or rigors shaking chills. The fever may occur during the transfusion or in the immediate posttransfusion period. It must be determined if the fever is related to underlying disease or infection or from an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction. Fever is the most frequent symptom of an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction.
The transfusion must be stopped and the physician and the blood bank must be notified. Tylenol may be administered with a physician's order. Severe shaking chills rigors may be controlled by the sedative effect of Benadryl or Demerol. Blood specimens from the patient that may be needed to rule out the acute hemolytic transfusion reaction include two 7 mL Pink top tubes. Smaller volumes for pediatric patients as requested by the blood bank.
Hives and itching Treatment: Benadryl Foreign plasma proteins in the blood component cause this reaction. A mild urticarial reaction, if not associated with any other symptoms, is generally innocuous.
Once the hives have resolved, the transfusion may be resumed with physician approval. Antihistamines may be administered before the blood transfusion as premedication to prevent urticaria for patients with known allergic reactions to blood.
Signs and symptoms may include: feeling of impending doom, chills, fever, feeling of heat along the vein, lumbar pain, chest pain, tachycardia, hypotension, hemoglobinuria, uncontrollable bleeding. Treatment includes treatment of shock, renal failure, and DIC with IV fluids, vasopressors, and diuretics The most dreaded complication of blood transfusion is the acute hemolytic reaction in which transfused red cells react with circulating antibody in the recipient with resultant intravascular hemolysis.
Transfusion policy dictates that the nurse must stay in the room of a patient receiving blood for the first 15 minutes of the transfusion.
Give the blood very slowly infusing no more than approximately 25ml proportionately smaller volumes for pediatric patients in this first 15 minutes. This reaction is dose and rate related. The more of the incompatible blood that the patient gets, and the faster they receive it, the worse will be the outcome.
This reaction is potentially life threatening, yet completely avoidable as long as proper identification of the patient and the units of blood are performed. What is a Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion reaction? Subsequent transfusion of blood with an antigen specific for this low titer antibody results in hemolysis.
They occur in patients who have developed antibodies from previous transfusion or pregnancy but, at the time of pretransfusion testing, the antibody in question is too weak to be detected by standard procedures. Subsequent transfusion with red cells having the corresponding antigen results in an antibody response and slow extravascular hemolysis of the transfused red cells.
The patient should be informed that this is not a medical emergency but their physician should evaluate the situation. Who should obtain consent for blood transfusion? The physician and other health care providers who currrently obtain consent for procedures can also obtain consent for transfusion.
This does mean that the person obtaining consent has an understanding of the risks and benefits of transfusion. Questions about the process for obtaining consent for blood transfusion and the risks of transfusion should be addressed to one of the Blood Bank Medical Directors. Contact the Blood Bank at Can a nurse or other health care professional sign as the witness on the Informed Consent form?
Yes, signing as witness is only verifying the signature on the form. It can be obtained from Moore Document Solutions form number Is there a time limit on the Consent for Transfusion?
A single consent is good for all transfusions during a hospitalization or a course of treatment. A course of treatment begins when the diagnosis is made that necessitates the transfusion and ends when the clinical problem is resolved. This means that one consent will cover all transfusions during one hospital stay. It will also cover transfusions given as an outpatient or during multiple hospital stays if they are part of a treatment course.
For instance, for a patient with leukemia one consent can cover many transfusions over the course of years. There is no specific time limit on a consent. We tried to make it as flexible as possible.
However, it is advisable to obtain a new consent if there is a significant change in the patient's status, such as: transfer of care to another service a new hospitalization or a new diagnosis.

Although frozen plasma components may contain small amounts of red cell stroma, sensitisation following transfusion of Rh D positive units is most unlikely, as stroma is less immunogenic than intact red cells.
Therefore Cryoprecipitate of any Rh D type may be given regardless of the Rh D type of the recipient. Contact Blood Bank if you are not sure. Never store in a drug or food fridge. If the transfusion can not be started within 30 minutes, return the component to a blood refrigerator Bank immediately for appropriate storage.
