A cell saver is a device that washes and saves red blood cells. They also remove viable platelets, clotting factors and other plasma proteins essential to whole blood.

No. Not for red cell transfusion.


What is a hemolytic reaction to a blood transfusion?

Most severe type, but rare incompatible blood incompatibility in multiple transfusions. Mostlikely to occurs when transfused red cells react with circulating antibody in the recipient with resultant intravascular hemolysis. When a group O patient is mistakenly transfused with group A, B, or AB blood. Patients receiving a major ABO- incompatible marrow or stem cell transplant with sufficient red cell content will likely develop an acute hemolytic reaction. Symptoms are: fever, chills and fever, the feeling of heat along the vein in which the blood is being transfused, pain in the lumbar region, constricting pain in the chest, tachycardia, hypotension, and hemoglobinemia with subsequent hemoglobinuria and hyperbilirubinemia. Prevention: proper identification of patients, pre-transfusion blood samples and blood components at the same time of transfusion.


What would happen if you transfuse a person with a genotype AAwith blood AS?

In the majority of recipients, the transfused red cells would function normally. Current FDA guidelines allow volunteer blood donations from Sickle trait (AS) donors. Red cell components selected for possible transfusion to sickle cell patients or neonates are screened for sickle trait prior to transfusion. If reactive, these components are not used for that patient.

Is Blood types checked before a transfusion?

In most cases, blood type of the recipient AND donor are checked. In a case of extreme emergency, the recipient blood type may not be checked and they will receive group O NEG unmatched red cell transfusion.


How can i build up blood without transfusion?

AnswerIf you are otherwise healthy, maintaining a good diet is usually all that it takes for your body to make all the blood that you need.Sometimes, an extra emphasis on iron-rich foods(green leaf vegetables) or even iron supplements can be needed.Answerthere are four methods that i know of ------Normal Saline and Lactated Ringers Solution, Dextran, Haemaccel, Hetastarch, and in the case of surgery request a "Cell Saver" the intraoperative cell salvage machine suctions, washes, and filters blood so it can be given back to the patient's body instead of being thrown away. One advantage to this is the patient receives his/her own blood instead of donor blood, so there is no risk of contracting outside diseases. Because the blood is recirculated, there is no limit to the amount of blood that can be given back to the patient. The cell saver is also a viable alternative for patients with religious objections to receiving blood transfusions. ---------------------------------------basically its a mini kidney dialysis machine , it recycles your blood through the machine and back into your body

What is a packed cell transfusion?

It's where you give someone red blood cells essentially. They get whole blood from donors and remove everything except the rbcs, giving you concentrated rbc.


What transfusion reaction is caused by a reaction between protein antibodies in the blood plasma and red blood cell surface molecules called antigens resulting in the clumping of red blood cells kn?

The transfusion reaction described is known as an hemolytic transfusion reaction, specifically an acute hemolytic reaction. This occurs when there is an incompatibility between the donor's red blood cell antigens and the recipient's antibodies, leading to the clumping (agglutination) of red blood cells. This can cause serious complications, including hemolysis, which is the destruction of red blood cells, and can result in symptoms such as fever, chills, and shock. Immediate medical attention is required to manage this reaction.
