The following tests are performed before the blood transfusion. 1. Hepatitus B 2. Hepatitus C 3. HIV 4. Treponima pallaidum (Symphillus) 5. Malarial Parasite 6. Creutz feldt Jacob disease or Mad cow disease
What happens if blood transfusion takes too long?
Human blood is only good for about 4 hours after it is no longer refrigerated, so if the transfusion takes longer than that, the remainder must be discarded and a new unit ordered. Typically transfusions are given pretty slowly so the body can adjust. (about 4 ml per minute or less in an adult)

The filtration of the blood in the kidney takes place in the?
Glomerulus
Where does phagocytosis happen?
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.
What takes place inside of a battery when in use?

Cappilaries
How long to regenerate a pint of blood?
To regenerate a pint of blood it takes upto 6 weeks. Yet after first transfusion, 2nd transfusion is not accepted within 12 weeks. In a healthy adult with good diet and exercise the plasma and WBCs regenerate in 24 hrs, the platelets and protiens in 48 hrs, the RBCs within 4 to 6 weeks.
Where is urea removed from after it has passed through the blood?

What are the sources of error in ABO blood grouping?
Transfusion of blood saves life. An error in blood transfusion, at the same time, takes life. Blood samples can be autologous, in which the patient's own blood is collected before surgery for possible use during or after surgery or allogenic, in which the blood is collected from donors. The discovery that HIV could be transmitted by blood transfusion in 1982 has given rise to strict regulations on blood donation and screening procedures. Apart from HIV, HBV and HCV risks have also been well addressed in blood transfusion process.1. the fatal acute haemolytic reactions to transfusion caused by ABO incompatibility have been attributed to administrative errors.2. The mismatch of blood units with that of the patient blood as a result of negligence is a serious cause of patient fatality.3. contamination of red cells especially of bacterial origin is a matter of concern. Yersinia enterocolitica is a common organism found to cause contamination of red cells.4. Contamination of platelets is another serious cause whereStaphylococcal infection is very common.5. Klebsiella andSerratia have also been detected in platelet contamination.6. Transfusion related acute lung injury is an acute respiratory distress occurring within hours after transmission, usually characterized by hypoxia due to pulmonary edema.Elimination of errors1. An understanding and knowledge of the pathophysiology of transfusion reactions, symptoms and treatment is essential to safely administer and monitor transfusions.2. A Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) on the blood transfusion process to reduce the risk of problems inherent in the procedure has been developed recently to aid nurse decision making in the transfusion process .
