Decreasing Function01:27

Decreasing Function

312
A decreasing function describes a relationship where the output consistently declines as the input increases. This means that for any two input values, if one is greater than the other, the corresponding output is smaller. Mathematically, a function f is decreasing on an interval I if for every x1 < x2​ in I, f (x1) > f (x2). This type of behavior is visually identified on a graph that slopes downward from left to right.The nature of a function can be analyzed by calculating...

Blood Transfusion01:15

Blood Transfusion

2.4K
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

15.0K
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...

Measurement: Derived Units

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Summary

Changing cryoprecipitate transfusion policy to one unit reduced donor exposure in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This change maintained adequate post-transfusion fibrinogen levels in infants, particularly term neonates.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Pediatric Hematology

Background:

  • Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) face challenges in managing donor exposure and ensuring adequate fibrinogen levels during cryoprecipitate transfusions.
  • Existing policies may lead to increased donor exposure in certain infant populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a revised cryoprecipitate transfusion policy on donor exposure and post-transfusion fibrinogen levels in neonates.
  • To assess the effectiveness of limiting transfusions to one unit per administration.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of neonates receiving cryoprecipitate transfusions between January 2008 and February 2015.
  • Comparison of donor exposure and fibrinogen levels before and after a policy change in January 2013 (10ml/kg to 1 unit maximum).

Main Results:

  • A total of 103 neonates received 144 cryoprecipitate transfusions.
  • Prior to the policy change, 75% of term infants were exposed to multiple donors versus 6% of preterm infants (p < 0.01).
  • After the policy change, no neonates experienced exposure to more than one donor per transfusion, with similar post-transfusion fibrinogen levels.

Conclusions:

  • Limiting cryoprecipitate transfusions to one unit per transfusion effectively reduces donor exposure in neonates.
  • This policy modification does not negatively impact post-transfusion fibrinogen levels, especially in term neonates.
