What happens if a person gets the wrong blood type?
Well, if he's getting a transfusion, then apparently he's in a hospital. When it's discovered he got the wrong type, a physician trained in that specialty must rush to infuse his body with the correct type, all the while draining out all the blood already in his system, until all the old blood is gone and the correct type has replaced it. Receiving the wrong type blood can be dangerous or fatal.
How is blood cross matching performed?
A test tube of the patient's blood is sent to the blood bank and spun down, so that the red cells are in the bottom and the plasma is on top. The plasma is separated into a separate tube, and then a few drops of red cells are placed into another tube. The red cells are washed first, which means that they are mixed with saline and spun in a centrofuge, and then the saline is removed. This gets rid of excess proteins which might cause a false reaction. Once the cells are washed, more saline is added to make a .8% suspension. The following test tubes are set up: 1. One drop of the red cell suspension + 2 drops of Anti-A antiserum 2. One drop of the red cell suspension + 2 drops of Anti-B antiserum 3. One drop of the red cell suspension + 2 drops of Anti-D antiserum 4. Two drops of patient serum + 1 drop of red cells with A antigen 5. Two drops of patient serum + 1 drop of red cells with B antigen Each tube is mixed gently, then spun for 15 seconds in a centrofuge, then checked to see if the cells in the tube can be easily resuspended (negative) or if they are all stuck together in a clump (a positive reaction). This is done with each cross-match to confirm the patient's ABO and Rh blood types, although, if the patient has had their blood typed in the lab previously, the lab worker may choose to only do the first three or the last three tubes just to double-check that the results the first time are OK. An antibody screen is set up, which can take place either in a test tube or a special gel card. Reagent red cells are added to the tube or the card, and these cells are already known to contain a variety of antigens. The patient serum is added to the cells, and a reaction will be seen if the patient has antibodies. As for the cross-match itself; On each bag of donor blood, there is a long tube of blood that is clamped at intervals to make sections. A section is removed, the blood poured into a labelled test tube, and the blood is diluted to a .8% suspension. 2 drops of the donor blood are put into another labelled test tube with 4 drops of the patient serum, and this is mixed and then spun for 15 seconds in the centrofuge. Compatible blood will be easily suspended, incompatible blood will be stuck together in a clump. The tube is checked microscopically to make sure that there aren't tiny clumps of cells.
How do you find out what blood type you are if your parents' blood types are O and A?

What might happen to blood flow if we increased the number of blood cells?
Increasing the number of blood cells can lead to increased blood viscosity, which may slow down blood flow. This can potentially affect the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and create a risk for blood clots.
What happens if you draw blood from a mastectomy patient?

Why might a physician be reluctant to give a blood transfusion?
There are times when a physician will not transfuse a patient. This might be that the hub level is low, but not low enough to make the patient symptomatic. That is blood pressure is stable, spo2 is ok and patient will be feeling fine. Another reason for not giving a blood transfusion is when there is a high temperature.
Why does the Emt takes a patients history?
EMT's need to be prepared for the unexpected. Small clues in a patient's history can make a huge difference in their care. A patient with a headache could be having a migraine, a stroke, an impending seizure, or a thousand other ailments. Knowing what problems the patient has encountered in the past helps the EMT to narrow down the possibilities of what is wrong. A patient regularly taking Excedrine (R) Migraine might be having another migraine. A patient who historically has high blood pressure but is out of their medication could be at a high risk for a fatal stroke. A typically healthy patient with extremely low blood pressure could be at risk of shock or cardiac arrest, whereas an elderly patient whose blood pressure is normally high but is currently "textbook normal" could be suffering from a multitude of issues. What is normal for one patient is deadly for another; the patient's history helps to figure this out.

What are some of the effects about public cord blood banking?
Sometimes, it's extremely difficult to find a match in public cord blood bank. Most donors here are Caucasians only. If the patient is an African-American, Hispanic or Asian-American, the parents should search for many public banks in the country. Finding a unit of cord blood in one public cord blood might no be enough.
