Use of FFP/cryoprecipitate for replacement of coagulation factors/fibrinogen and other measures for control of anatomical causes of bleeding should be considered. An emerging consensus on grading recommendations? Cryoprecipitate will be approved without waiting for results of UCSF lab tests if patients are transferred or admitted to UCSF for active/suspected bleeding and/or known to have coagulopathy/abnormal fibrinogen levels at outside hospital. Pediatric cardiac patients with renal insufficiency or hyperkalemia. o Prevention of immunosuppressive effects of transfusion (controversial) 2.

Granulocyte transfusions must be irradiated and naturally cannot be leukoreduced! Orders for blood products, including cryoprecipitate, are pre-approved for all patients with active bleeding/urgent need for product, regardless of site of bleeding, patient care location or results of recent fibrinogen levels. Coagulation factor activity of 30% or higher is adequate to maintain hemostasis.

Platelets may be irradiated at any stage during their 5 day storage life. Mission Bay Hospital Blood Bank: 415-476-1404

Regardless of diagnosis or CMV serological status (maternal antibodies may impact test results), Age < 1 year: All infants regardless of CMV serological status, Age ≥ 1 year: CMV-seronegative patients only, All patients receiving umbilical cord blood transplants qualify for CMV seronegative products, All patients receiving HSCT/marrow from CMV-seronegative donor qualify for CMV seronegative products, All CMV-seronegative patients receiving umbilical cord blood transplants qualify for CMV seronegative products, CMV-seronegative patients receiving HSCT/marrow from CMV-seronegative donor qualify for CMV seronegative products.

0000015826 00000 n Please read instructions in ARC physicians guide: The ordering physician must complete ALL sections of the American Red Cross Blood Services Special Collection Order and FAX to the Patient Services Department. For patients currently in the OR: RN prints the OR-version of the pick-up slip and hands it to PCA. An example of a patient alert card currently in use. 4.3 All testing for mandatory microbiological markers must be completed before granulocytes are issued for transfusion with the exception of …

All patients qualify as recent IVIG or CMVIg may impact CMV IgG test results. Blood transfusion using cells donated by healthy volunteers can help replace red cells, platelets and other blood components. Every patient and doctor is concerned about blood supply safety. Orders for blood products are placed in APEX. C. Recommendation: All HLA-selected platelets must be irradiated, even if the patient is immunocompetent. 0000009393 00000 n This is the result of a multi-layered approach to safety.

Plasma or platelets/cryoprecipitate is usually transfused only when there is active bleeding. Many chemotherapy drugs can temporarily impair blood cell production in the marrow and depress immune system functions. Several large centers have changed their transfusion practices and avoid prophylactic plasma infusions to patients with INR < 2.0. 0000003356 00000 n

If patient diagnosis and/or lab values do not meet guidelines, Blood Bank will contact the ordering provider. The Lab Medicine resident will post a Laboratory Medicine Consult Note in APeX and discuss transfusion recommendations with the 1st call covering provider. Platelets may be available within 4-5 hours if matched products are available at the local facility.

Fortunately, these conditions are uncommon in most people with blood cancers, except for people with promyelocytic leukemia, who may need transfusions to prevent or treat bleeding.
