Adverse Effects of Transfusion: Reaction, Response and Resolutions

Webinar Objectives:
• Organize and categorize transfusion complications given the reported signs and symptoms.
• Discover how laboratory findings correlate with the clinical signs and symptoms of transfusion complications.
• Compare and contrast acute and delayed transfusion reactions.
• Apply how to define the adverse complications of transfusion in example case studies.

Summary of Session:
Transfusion complications are a risk of the transfusion of blood. Response to transfusion may be defined acute or delayed, hemolytic or non-hemolytic and immune or non-immune. This course will define categories of transfusion reactions, with applicable clinical response and laboratory investigation. Resolving the type of reaction and appropriate recommendations for further transfusions will be explored

Immunology, Complement and Genetics: The Backbone of the Blood Bank

Webinar Objectives:
• Distinguish immune response into the action of T Cells and B Cells.
• Recognize the role of immunoglobulins and cells involved in primary and secondary immune response.
• Outline function and process of complement activation in transfusion medicine.
• Demonstrate genetic concepts of blood groups exploring pedigree analysis and population genetics.

Summary of Session:
The field of Immunohematology is built on immunology, complement and genetics. This course will explore immune response and how antigen-antibody defines serologic blood bank testing. Factors which influence antigen and antibody binding with the activation of complement will be defined. As antigens are defined, the genetics of the expression will be clarified. Genetic expression with applicable population genetics and pedigree analysis will be correlated with blood group expression. This course is a starting point for a deeper understanding of the foundations of Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine.

Blood Groups: Common to Confounding Specificities

Webinar Objectives:
• Identify the common blood groups by genetic background, antigen, antibody and clinical significance.
• Discriminate uncommon blood groups by genetic background, antigen, antibody and clinical significance.
• Give examples of unique characteristics of blood groups and how they relate to the clinical outcomes in patients.
• Apply the knowledge of blood groups to provide the most appropriate blood products for transfusion.

Summary of Session:
This course is a comprehensive review of all blood groups both common and uncommon. Each blood group will be
defined by its antigen and antibody with emphasis on clinical significance or insignificance. Unique characteristics
and clinical correlation for specific blood groups will be highlighted. Resources for further and in-depth study of the
blood groups will be highlighted for the participant.

What Blood Bank Tools to Use When and Why: Mastering the Methods

Webinar Objectives:
• Appraise the value of common serologic blood bank methods for the resolution
of serologic blood bank challenges.
• Categorize the methods and tools for atypical serum/plasma challenges compared to red cells challenges.
• Define a systematic approach for ABO discrepancies and atypical antibody detection findings.
• Employ serologic methods in case study examples to demonstrate efficient application.

Summary of Session:
Serologic problem solving in the Blood Bank can be mastered by understanding and implementing the right tool at
the right time. This course will define the advantages and disadvantages of common blood bank methods. Tools
to resolve ABO discrepancies and atypical antibody detection findings will be explored. Mastering these tools will
improve overall serologic problem solving allowing for these challenges to be resolved efficiently.

Hemostasis and Platelet Testing: Lab Results Providing Guidance or Clinical Care

Webinar Objectives:
• Define normal and abnormal coagulation lab findings.
• Correlate laboratory results with common clinical signs and symptoms in the patient.
• Discriminate normal and abnormal platelet laboratory results.
• Apply coagulation and hematology results in case study examples focusing on the provision of appropriate
transfusion of blood products or medical intervention.

Summary of Session:
The ability to maintain hemostasis is monitored in the laboratory with coagulation and hematology methods. This course will define the laboratory methods and analysis used in the evaluation of the overall hemostasis of a patient. Discussion will include maintaining normal hemostasis and what actions may occur with abnormal hemostatic findings. The Blood Bank/Transfusion Service aid in the care of the patient with abnormal hemostatic or platelet results with the provision of timely blood administration.

Antibody Detection & ID: Patterns, Patience, Precision

Webinar Objectives:
• Explain detection and identification of red cell alloantibodies.
• Explore problem solving techniques including evaluation of the patient’s clinical and transfusion history, autocontrol, DAT and red cell phenotype.
• Define appropriate testing methods for IgM compared to IgG reactive antibodies.
• Apply antibody identification practices in case studies

Summary of Session:
When the antibody detection test is reactive and antibody identification is required. This course will define the common rules, requirements, and rigors of identification of red cell alloantibodies. Finding a pattern of reactivity is one step in defining the specificity of antibody reactivity. Responding with patience and precision for next steps in antibody identification will be demonstrated in case study examples.
