Kidney Transplant I: Introduction01:28

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

307
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

257
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

13.9K
Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Summary

This study found significant blood wastage in a Kuwaiti hospital

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Blood transfusion services are critical in surgical care.
  • Potential for wastage exists within hospital blood banks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate blood transfusion service misuse.
  • To quantify blood wastage and associated costs in a surgical department.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study over 6 months (Sept 1987-Feb 1988).
  • Data collection on crossmatched but untransfused blood units.
  • Analysis of blood bank technician time allocation.

Main Results:

  • Monthly wastage averaged 45 +/- 13 units.
  • 511 units were crossmatched but not transfused.
