Study Notes
Blood Transfusion and Complications
- After 50 units in adults, and a lesser amount in children, the liver, myocardium, and endocrine glands are damaged.
Platelet Transfusion
- Platelet transfusion is given when platelet count falls below 100,000/µL, especially in cases of bleeding or surgical intervention.
Bacterial Contamination in Packed RBC Units
- Bacterial contamination in packed RBC units is a common issue, with a local study showing a 9% contamination rate.
- Bacillus subtilis, a contaminant, is not pathogenic or toxigenic to humans.
Massive Blood Transfusion
- The most important consideration in massive blood transfusion is to replace blood loss quickly and adequately to maintain normal tissue perfusion and prevent coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia.
Complications of Blood Transfusion
- Delayed or inadequate blood transfusion can have more severe consequences than the transfusion itself.
- Post-transfusion hepatitis can be caused by:
- Hepatitis viruses (A, B, C)
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
