Study Notes
Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine
- Blood banking refers to the process of collecting, testing, and storing blood and its components for transfusion.
- Transfusion medicine is concerned with the safe and effective use of blood and its components for transfusion, including the collection, testing, and distribution of blood products.
Types of Transfusions
- Allogenic transfusion refers to the transfer of blood or its components from one individual to another, which is the most common type of transfusion.
Blood Component Therapy
- Component therapy involves the separation of whole blood into its components, such as red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, for transfusion to specific patients.
Historical Methods of Blood Transfusion
- The ancient method of bloodletting involved the donor's back being lanced multiple times, and capillary blood was extracted using suction cups.
- In the 17th century, Richard Lower designed an apparatus for performing blood transfusion using multiple syringes and a special cannula for puncturing the vein through the skin.
- The first human-to-human transfusion was performed by Jean-Baptiste Denys in 1667.
- The direct method of transfusion involved collecting blood in a graduated flask and promptly transfusing it to the patient.
Blood Typing and Anticoagulants
- Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood type system in 1901.
- Carl Walter designed the first plastic blood bag in 1949.
- In 1914, Hustin reported the use of sodium citrate as an anticoagulant solution for transfusions.
Blood Collection Standards
- According to AABB standards, the volume of whole blood collected for a 110lb/50kg donor is approximately 450-500 ml.
This quiz covers the definition of blood banking and transfusion medicine, including their respective activities, procedures, and concerns. It also encompasses the proper collection, preservation, storage, dispensing, selection, utilization, and removal of blood and blood components for transfusion purposes.
