BLOOD Conversation

BLOOD conversation 1.
Beginning Before your transfusion, your nurse will: • Check your blood
pressure, pulse and temperature. • Make sure the donor blood type is a match for your blood
type. • Make sure that the supplied blood is the product ordered by your doctor and is labeled
with your name. 2.Ask What are blood components +Cryoprecipitate: Helps your blood clot.
+Plasma: Carries nutrients your body needs. +Platelets: Help your blood clot. +Red blood cells:
Carry oxygen throughout your body. Where does blood for a blood transfusion come from? ⁃
Typically, the blood comes from an anonymous person who has donated it for use as hospitals
see fit. A blood bank holds the blood until needed for a transfusion. ⁃ In some cases, though,
people donate blood to directly benefit a friend or loved one. You may also have the chance to
bank your own blood for a scheduled surgery. ⁃ How does a blood transfusion work? The
donated blood or blood components are stored in special medical bags until they are needed.
Your healthcare provider connects the needed bag of blood to an intravenous line made of
tubing. A needle at the end of the tubing is inserted into one of your veins and the blood or blood
components begins to be delivered into your circulatory system. How long does a blood
transfusion take? How long a blood transfusion takes depends on many factors, including how
much blood and/or blood component you need. Most transfusions take between one and three
hours. Talk to your healthcare provider for more specifics about your needs. What are blood
transfusion risks? The healthcare industry work hard to ensure the safety of blood used in
transfusions. Blood banks ask potential donors questions about their health, behavior and travel
history. Only the people who pass the blood donor requirements can donate blood. Donated
blood is tested according to national guidelines. If there is any question that the blood is not safe,
it is thrown away. Even with these precautions, there’s a small chance something will go
undetected in the screening process. However, the odds of this happening are very small. For
example, your chances of getting certain diseases from a transfusion are: • HIV: 1 in 1.5 million
donations. • Hepatitis C: 1 in 1.2 million donations. • Hepatitis B: 1 in 293,000 donations. •
Bacterial contamination: 1 in 100,000 transfusions. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning
than to get a disease from a transfusion. The precautions healthcare workers take have helped
make transfusions very safe. When should I call my doctor after a blood transfusion? Reactions
to a blood transfusion can happen at unexpected times. You can have a reaction during the
transfusion, a day afterward or up to several months later. Call your healthcare provider right
away (or your nurse if you are still in the hospital) if you experience: • Bleeding, pain or new
bruising at the IV site. • Cold and clammy skin, fever or chills. • Dark or reddish urine. • Fast
heartbeat, chest pain, trouble breathing or wheezing. • Headache, dizziness, nausea or vomiting. •
Rash, hives or itching. • Severe back pain. 3.End How long does it take to recover from a blood
transfusion? After your transfusion, your healthcare provider will recommend that you rest for 24
to 48 hours. You’ll also need to call and schedule a follow-up visit with your healthcare provider.
During your transfusion, your nurse will: • Recheck your blood pressure and pulse after 15
minutes. • Recheck your blood pressure and pulse at the end of the transfusion. ◦
