Transfusion reactions
Controversies
• What are the most common?
• When to treat anemia?
• How frequently do they occur?
• Plasma for DIC?
• What do we do when they occur?
• Plasma for hypoalbuminemia?
• When to give platelets?
When to treat anemia?
Plasma for DIC?
• Goal to increase oxygen delivery
• Human guidelines
– DO2 = CO x CaO2
– CaO2 = [% Sat x 1.39 (ml/g) x [Hb] (g/dl) +
(arterial PaO2 x 0.003)]
• Target [Hb]
Prittie 2010
TRICC trial 1999
CRIT trial 2004
ABC trial 2002
Plasma for hypoalbuminemia?
– Cornerstone of DIC treatment is treatment
of underlying condition
– Blood component therapy (platelets or
plasma) should not be given on basis of
laboratory derangements alone
• Active bleeding
• Invasive procedures
2013 International Society on
Thrombosis and Hemostasis
Platelet transfusions?
• Generally not indicated
• 22.5ml/kg to raise albumin 0.5g/dl
• Invasive procedures
• No difference in albumin pre-/posttransfusion in canine retrospective
thebark.com
• Severe thrombocytopenia
• Life-threatening hemorrhage
