RBCs without additives must have final hct <80%
Frozen RBC storage and description -65C or colder
frozen within 6 days if no additive solution
RBC w/additive must be frozen before expiration
must be put in freezer within 4 hours of removed from 4C
Rejuvenated RBC description rejuvenation should restore 2,3-DPG to 75% of normal level and ATP above
normal levels.
If done before 14 days may cause high 2,3-DPG which impairs O2 up-take.
AS-3 and AS-5 cannot be rejuvenated
Deglyced RBCs storage and description 37C warmer or waterbath (20-25 minutes)
washed with solutions of decreasing osmolarity to avoid hemolysis.
must remove cryoprotectant agents, minimial free hgb, and result in recovery of
at least 80% RBC volume.
open system:1-6C with 24 hr expiration.
closed system: 14 days or as FDA approved
What should the osmolality of a deglyced unit be? <500.
Osmolality is a fxn of free glycerol therefore an increase is a result of improper
deglycing
What should free hgb in last wash be from decglyed <200
unit?

washed with sterile normal saline to remove most of plasma
24 hour expiration
FFP storage and description prepared from WB or collected using apheresis.
frozen at -18C or below
contains max levels of labile or nonlabile coag factors
Thaw between 30-37C
, SBB Practice Exam Questions and Correct Answers (Verified Answers)
Thawed plasma FFP thawed but not transfused within 24 hrs
can be stored 1-6C for 5 days
reduction in Factors V and VII
Liquid plasma plasma separated from WB at any time during storage, up to 5 days after the
expiration date of WB. supernatant levels of potassium and ammonia are
increased
Cryo prepared from WB collected into CPDA-1 or CPD
precipitates when FFP thawed between 1-6C
stored at -18C or colder
suspended in less than 15mL plasma
contains factor VII and fibrinogen and most of XIII
single unit store at 20-24 for 6 hrs
pooled store at 20-24 for 4 hours
platelets prepared from WB that hasn't cooled below 20C
separated within 4 hours
soft spin (plt rich plasma) followed by a hard spin (platelet concentrate)
resuspended in about 45-65mL plasma
20-24C with gentle agitation
Granulocytes usually harvested in buffy coats
collection must yield 1.0x10 to the 10th granulocytes
Transfuse ASAP
Irradiation prevents proliferation of transfused T-Lymphs, the primary cause of graft vs host
(GVHD)
effects of storage on blood components decreases 2,3-DPG levels: this controls release of O2 from RBCs, levels recover
after 24 hrs post txn
decreases ATP
increases potassium
