Study Notes
Blood Donation and Transfusion Considerations
- Blood from patients or donors with certain medical conditions may be unsuitable for transfusion.
- Individuals may be disqualified from donating blood for various underlying health issues.
- Clinicians should consider the risks of transfusion-transmissible infections when selecting blood products for patients.
Platelet Donation Guidelines
- A minimum of 4 weeks is required between platelet donations.
- Plateletpheresis reduces the donor’s platelet count by 30% to 60%.
- If a platelet count is assessed post-collection, it should reflect this decrease.
Deferral Periods
- Donors with a history of brucellosis are deferred for 2 years following their last febrile episode.
True/False Statements on Blood Donation
- A donor with a history of hepatitis C is permanently deferred from donating blood.
- When oxygen demand exceeds 50% of the available content, compensatory mechanisms fail and transfusion becomes necessary.
Transfusion Therapy Uses
- Transfusion therapy is primarily utilized to address two medical conditions, which are unspecified in the provided text but typically include anemia and significant blood loss.
