[The support of immune safety of hemotransfusions under implementation of cardiosurgery operations]

The index and structure of allosensibilization of patients according transfusion dangerous antigens of erythrocytes were identified. The purpose of action was to evaluate risk of development of post-transfusion hemolytic complications under application of hemotransfusions during operative interventions on heart and vessels. The immune anti-erythrocytes antibodies were detected in 81 cases (1.7%) and their main percentage formed antibodies of Rhesus system (67.7%). The antibodies to antigens of other systems like anti-K (10%), anti-S (2.5%), anti-Jka (1.2%), anti-Fya (1.2%), anti-Lea (3.7%) were more rarely detected. The estimated index of sensitization in patients made up to 1.7% that testifies higher degree of alloimmunization of examined patients and potential risk of development of post-transfusion complications of hemolytic type under hemotrasfusions. The received data was used as a background to develop and to implement algorithm of immune hematologic examination of patients of cardiosurgery profile. This approach permits minimizing risk of alloimmunization of recipients, to forecast and to prevent development of complications under transfusion of erythrocyte-containing components of donor blood that significantly enhances quality of transfusion therapy.

Blood Transfusion

Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that saves lives and treats various medical conditions. It involves transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This process requires a thorough understanding of the ABO blood group system and its associated antigens and antibodies.
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

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...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

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...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...
