Platelets are not blood type specific. They are neutral and can be received by any blood type. A problem may occur when they are not well isolated and there is a significant amount of red blood cells.
the O blood type patients can only receive blood from O type. even they can give to all type, so it is a universal doner but limited acceptor .
Platelets do not have blood types, so anyone can receive them from anyone else.
No, an O negative person cannot receive B positive platelets in a transfusion. Blood types must be compatible to prevent adverse reactions. O negative individuals can only receive O negative blood products.
Yes, platelets are generally type specific. In O positive, there could be an anti B Negative antigen.
It depends what you define as "Blood". Type AB, Rh positive recipients may receive whole blood (rarely used in modern transfusion medicine) from AB, Rh positive or negative donors. They may also (generally) receive red cell transfusions from any ABO and Rh blood type. They may receive platelets from any ABO, Rh donor type, but may require removal of residual incompatible plasma from the platelet product prior to infusion. An AB patient may only receive AB plasma. AB negative recipients may receive whole blood from an AB, Rh negative donor, red cells from any ABO, Rh negative donor, platelets from any ABO, Rh negative donor (with possible plasma reduction), and only AB plasma. Concerning the transfusion of Rh positive cellular components to Rh negative recipients; ABO compatible, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to Rh negative patients IF there are no compatible, Rh negative products available, transfusion cannot wait for units to be imported, anti-D antibodies are not present in the patient's plasma and the patient is a male, or a female of non-child bearing age.
Platelets don't carry any specific anti-body or antigen that would need to be matched up as the whole blood does as to not cause coagulation
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Patient_front_types_a_positive_and_back_types_o_positive_what_is_her_blood_type" From your question, it seems that patient is A2 with anti A1. Perform A1 Lectin test to confirm.
First, you must define what you consider to be "blood". Whole blood is rarely used in modern transfusion medicine. Instead, whole blood is separated into components, primarily red cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate. Type O, Rh positive whole blood may be transfused to a type O, Rh positive recipient. Type O, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient. Type O, Rh positive platelets may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient (plasma reduction may be done if the physician is concerned about incompatible plasma in the product). Type O Plasma may only be transfused to a type O recipient (Rh is of no concern). Type O Cryoprecipitate may be transfused to any ABO recipient (Rh is of no concern). In cases where Rh negative cellular components are not available, ABO compatible, Rh positive cellular products may be transfused to an Rh negative recipient IF.... 1) The patient does not have anti-D antibodies present in their plasma 2) The patient is not a female of child bearing age/capability 3) There is an emergent need for the blood products If Rh positive platelets are transfused to an Rh negative recipient, Rh Immune Globulin may be administered to prevent sensitization.
B positive and O positive
Think of the blood types as colors: Type AB= Purple Type A = Red Type B = Blue Type O = Clear Type AB can receive A, B, or O... either one won't change the original 'color' Type A can receive A or O Type B can receive B or O Type O can only receive O You also have to take into consideration the RH factor (positive or negative)... Negatives can only receive negatives, but can donate to either positive or negative.
It depends on what blood component is to be transfused. If O, Rh negative whole blood is to be given, the patient may be O, Rh negative or O, Rh positive. If O, Rh negative red cells are to be transfused, the patient may be any blood type (generally).
O blood type can only receive blood type only from O, and blood type O can give blood to all other blood types, but obly receive blood from it self General Rule : O is general donnor but limited receiver.
