In this extensive lecture, Professor Zach Murphy delves into the topic of blood transfusions, starting with the basics of whole blood and breaking it down into its components like packed red blood cells (PRBCs), platelets, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate, and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). He explains in detail the indications for each type of blood product based on various clinical scenarios such as anemia, hemorrhagic shock, coagulopathies, and thrombocytopenia. The lecture then explores transfusion reactions, including febrile non-hemolytic reactions, hemolytic reactions (acute and delayed), allergic/anaphylactic reactions, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO). Finally, the video covers pre-transfusion testing processes, blood product modifications, and the proper response to transfusion reactions. Enjoy the lecture and support us below!
