Can a CNA pick up the blood product from the bank? or does it have to be an RN
Need to change the word "physician" to "clinician" since nurse practitioners and physician assistants can generally order transfusions.
After stopping the transfusion, when does the nurses collect blood sample to test for blood reactions and any precautions? Amazing video!
nice one....
I believe I miss where you state at 3:42 talking about compatible blood types. You are missing that ONLY O- are universal donors, and AB+ are the ONLY universal receivers. It sounds like you are saying if you are O type blood, you can give to anyone regardless if you are positive or negative, when O+ people **cannot** donate to anyone with a negative blood type. People who are Type AB- **cannot** receive blood from anyone with Rh+ blood, but again it reads and sounds like you are saying that as long as someone is Type AB they can receive any type of blood.
True, the transfused blood needs to match the recipient's blood type and Rh status (positive or negative). At that point in the video, Laura was simply going over types that are compatible, without specifying the Rh status. To clarify... type O negative RBCs may be used for any patient and is known as the 'universal donor.' Patients with Type AB positive blood can receive blood from any blood type and are considered the 'universal recipient', because recipients whose blood is Rh-positive may receive Rh-positive or Rh-negative blood.
So how fast do you administer the blood ???
For most patients, it's dependent on what they can tolerate. For PRBC (packed red blood cells), the suggested rate is 100-150 ml/hr. In an emergency situation, however, it can be infused much faster, at a wide open rate, if the patient can tolerate. The transfusion should be started within 30 minutes of removing from refrigerator and must be completed within 4 hours.

I just need to know if this is a sterile or clean procedure...? Did I miss it?
No, administering blood is not a sterile procedure. Wear regular gloves when handling the blood bag and starting a transfusion.
what if there was a leakage and the full infusion didnt go through
If the blood bag has a leak, hopefully this is discovered before the transfusion is started and the bag needs to be returned to the blood bank immediately.
If the IV site starts leaking during the transfusion, a new site needs to be restarted immediately and the transfusion can continue at the new IV site. The transfusion of the unit still needs to be completed within 4 hours.
Doesn't giving pt Tylenol or Benadryl will mask the adverse effects of the blood transfusion? How are we going to catch the signs and symptoms for adverse reaction then?
We're so sorry to get back to you so late!!! We somehow missed your comment before the holiday rush! Here's the answer:
Physicians often premedicate with Tylenol and Benadryl in an attempt to prevent the most common and often benign transfusion reactions - nonhemolytic fever and allergic reactions. Most likely, an acute hemolytic reaction would cause a considerable spike in temperature, even if pretreatment was given. There is some controversy over premedication, and it is up to the discretion of the provider.

What sort of medical examination does one have to go through before one donates blood?
There is usually a confidential questionnaire with a technician to determine if it would be safe for you to donate blood. Here's what the Red Cross says regarding donation rules: www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/eligibility-requirements
There are several "layers of protection" to keep the blood supply safe. There are 5 but only three are relevant to your questions, so I will limit my response to those.
1. Donor Medical History Questionnaire: The donor is asked a series of personal questions about their medical history. These questions make sure the donor is healthy and donating is safe for them. The questions also make sure that the blood being donated is as low risk as possible for anyone who will potentially receive the blood. Only if the donor meets all the medical criteria (set by the FDA) are they are allowed.
2. After the questionnaire the donor's vitals and iron level are assessed. They have to meet pre-determined requirements (set by the FDA) in order to be allowed to donate.
3. The donated blood is also tested for transfusion-transmissible diseases, prior to being sent out to a hospital. If the blood unit is positive, even false positive, it is destroyed and the donor is notified. The main test are HIV 1/2, HTLV 1/2, HBV, HCV, Chagas, ZIKA virus, West Nile.
why do people have to get platelets in their blood
Platelets help with clotting. If someone is actively bleeding platelets help control it. You want to keep them high enough where your patient doesn't get a bleed somewhere. Basically, they're just another component of blood. If someone is receiving a lot of products, it's important to replace platelets as well to control bleeding and ensure all components of blood are replaced.
