BLOOD TRANSFUSION:
Objectives:
1. To replace circulating blood volume
2. To increase O2 carrying capacity of blood
3. To combat infection if theres decrease WBC
4. To prevent bleeding if theres platelet deficiency
Nsg Mgt & principles in Blood Transfusion
1. Proper refrigeration
2. Proper typing & crossmatching
Type O universal donor
AB universal recipient
85% of people is RH (+)
3. Asceptically assemble all materials needed:
a.) Filter set
b.) Isotonic or PNSS or .9NaCl to prevent Hemolysis
Hypotonic sol swell or burst
Hypertonic sol will shrink or crenate
c.) Needle gauge 18 - 19 or large bore needle to prevent hemolysis.
d.) Instruct another RN to recheck the following .
Pts name, blood typing & cross typing expiration date, serial number.
e.) Check blood unit for presence of bubbles, cloudiness, dark in color & sediments indicates bacterial contamination. Dont
dispose. Return to blood bank.
f.) Never warm blood products may destroy vital factors in blood.
- Warming is done if with warming device only in EMERGENCY! For multiple BT.
- Within 30 mins room temp only!
g.) Blood transfusion should be completed < 4hrs because blood that is exposed at room temp for > 2h causes blood
deterioration.
h.) Avoid mixing or administering drug at BT line leads to hemolysis
i.) Regulate BT 10 15 gtts/min KVO or 100cc/hr to prevent circulatory overload
j.) Monitor VS before, during & after BT especially q15 mins(local board) for 1st hour. NCLEX-q5min for 1 st 15min.

Trachea windpipe
- has cartillagenous rings
- site for permanent/ artificial a/w tracheostomy
b. Bronchus R & L main bronchus
c. Lungs R 3 lobes = 10 segments
L 2 lobes 8 segments
Post pneumonectomy - position affected side to promote expansion of lungs
Post segmental lobectomy position unaffected side to promote drainage
Lungs covered by pleural cavity, parietal lobe & visceral lobe
Alveoli acinar cells
site of gas exchange (O2 & CO2)
diffusion: Daltons law of partial pressure of gases
Ventilation movement of air in & out of lungs
Respiration movement of air into cells
Type II cells of alveoli secrets surfactant
Surfactant - decrease surface tension of alveoli
Lecithin & spinogometer
L/S ratio 2:1 indicator of lung maturity
If 1:2 adm O2 - < 40% Concentration to prevent atelectasis & retinopathy or blindness.
