Mathew McInnis has an open fracture of his right femur as well as suspected abdominal and chest injuries following a motor vehicle accident. In the emergency department, urgent blood specimens, including a pretransfusion sample, are taken and he is rapidly transferred to theatre for surgery to control bleeding and stabilisation. If Mathew doesn't have any unusual antibodies how long should it take to provide crossmatched blood for this patient? 2 hours 30–60 minutes 4 hours 5–10 minutes

Person with type O- blood are often referred to as the universal donor. Based on the antigens on type O- blood cells and antibodies found in potential recipent’s plasma explain why it true

Differentiate the types of appointments methods and tell us which one believe is the most effective

I have a patient who is blood type B- and has received a blood donation from a blood type B- donor. Will the patient's immune system accept the red blood cells from the donor as "self" cells and allow the cells to live? Will the patient's immune system accept the white blood cells (B cells, T cells, etc) from the donor as "self" cells and allow the cells to live?

Xena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine.  Salmoneus has lost a lot of blood. Xena inserts a tube that allows her to transfer her blood to him. Xena is A positive and Salmoneus is O positive. Discuss if this transfusion is expected to be successful and justify your answer. Describe the expected consequences of this transfusion attempt on Salmoneus’s red blood cells.

A 19-year-old male visits his primary care physician with a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and extreme fatigue. During the visit, the nurse finds that he has a fever. The patient reports that he is attending his second year of college at a local university. The physician performs a physical examination, which confirms large, swollen, painful lymph nodes. He decides to send the patient to the office laboratory for blood work. He orders a complete blood count (CBC) and viral and bacterial studies.     Reference Range     Reference Range WBC 13.3 × 103/uL 4.8–10.8 × 103/uL Neutrophils 40% 60%–70% RBC 4.5 × 109/L 4.7–6.1 × 109/L Lymphocytes 53% *20% of lymphocytes are atypical 20%–30% Hgb 14.1 g/dL 14–18 g/dL Monocytes 7% 5%–10% Hct 42% 42%–52% Eosinophils 0 0%–5% MCV 92 fL 80–100 fL Basophils 0 0%–2% MCH 27 pg 27–31 pg Absolute neutrophils 5.32 1.4–6.5 × 103/uL MCHC 33% 32% –36% Absolute…

Jenny G. received a transfusion of 3 units of Packed Red Blood Cells last year.  She has been readmitted to the hospital and is anemic (HGB 7.1 g/dL) and has a positive antibody screen in AHG with cells I and II and her autocontrol is positive. Her panel shows agglutination in AHG for all 10 panel cells.  She types as A positive. What do these results suggest? How could you determine if this patient has an alloantibody?

A Medical Technology staff in blood bank laboratory proceeds with weak D/Du typing in one of her blood donor who happened to be RH negative for anti-D typing.  She performed indirect antihuman globulin test (IAT) and her results revealed the presence of agglutination.Question 1: How will the MT staff reports the RH type of the donor? Support answer (with explanation). Question 2: Can a Du positive patient be classified as RH negative? Support answer (with explanation).

A patient's antibody screen is resulted as positive. What should be done to test units for transfusion?     Question 7 options:   A)  Antigen type the patient's red cells and crossmatch units positive for the same antigens.   B)  Determine the reacting antibody and crossmatch units negative for the corresponding antigen.   C)  Crossmatch ABO compatible blood at the immediate spin phase.   D)  Determine the reacting antibody and confirm that the donor did not have any similar antibodies.

Which of the following transfusions will result in an immediate reaction?   AB Rh-negative whole blood to and AB Rh-positive patient B Rh-negative whole blood to a B Rh-negative patient None of the above A Rh-negative whole blood to a B Rh-negative patient O Rh-negative whole blood to an O Rh-positive patient
