What Are the Precautions for Using Blood Transfusion Set?

A blood transfusion set is an infusion device that establishes a passage between the blood and the vein. It consists of a bottle needle, an air inlet needle or an air inlet (optional, including an air filter device), a needle cap, and a Y-shaped three-way pipeline (optional With, the hose on the pipeline also has a stop clip), dropper (with a blood filter in the dropper), pipeline, dosing port (optional), flow regulator, injection parts (optional), No. 7 ( 23G) above intravenous needles or injection needles (optional).

1. Strict check system before blood transfusion: check by two or more people, including bed number, names of donors and recipients, blood type, blood volume, blood number, cross-match test results, blood type, check the date of blood collection, expiration date, and blood quality. 

Check before, during, and after the operation, and sign the name of the person who checked after the operation. The retrieved blood should be placed at room temperature for half an hour to prevent the blood from being too cold and causing adverse reactions.

2. Before blood transfusion, the cause of blood transfusion, the risk of blood transfusion, and the possible adverse reactions after blood transfusion should be informed to patients and their families so that patients can actively cooperate with treatment. Closely observe the patient's general condition during and after the blood transfusion.

3. Strict aseptic operation during blood transfusion, make sure to use a suitable blood transfusion device for blood transfusion, do not shake the blood bag violently, flush the tube with 0.9% sodium chloride injection before and after blood transfusion.

Follow the principle of slow first, then fast, control the speed of blood transfusion, start the blood transfusion 15 minutes slowly, and closely observe the patient's condition changes. If there is no adverse reaction, the drip rate can be adjusted according to the needs of the disease, age, and blood composition.

The function of the platelet decreases with the extension of storage time. Therefore, platelets taken from the blood bank should be infused as soon as possible at the fastest rate that the patient can tolerate to achieve the hemostatic effect. The blood transfusion should be completed within 5 hours, and continuous infusion should be ensured. If the transfusion exceeds 5 hours, the blood should be discarded.

4. Soon after the blood transfusion, the blood transfusion will slow down or stop. The reason is:

Local venous spasm is the body's response to cold fluids and intermittent infusions. Hot compresses can dilate the veins and increase the speed of blood transfusion.

The pipe is folded due to external factors, just open the fold and fix it.

The standard blood transfusion filter can filter blood clots and platelets and white blood cells that have accumulated and degenerated during storage. However, if the same blood transfusion is used continuously for more than 5 hours, some blood components adhere and precipitate in the filter, which affects the dripping speed. Replace the blood transfusion set.

If the casing is blocked, it needs to be re-inserted.

5. During the blood transfusion process, closely observe whether the patient has a blood transfusion reaction. Once abnormal symptoms such as chills, high fever, difficulty breathing, severe back pain, etc. occur, the blood transfusion should be stopped immediately, and the doctor should be reported for treatment at the same time.

6. Blood transfusion can only be taken 10 minutes before the blood transfusion. In particular, calcium gluconate easily reacts with the substances in the plasma to form a colloid and block the needle. The blood retrieved by the patient from the blood station must be combined in the blood bank of the hospital before being used by the patient.

7. When venting during blood transfusion, try to avoid squeezing the Murphy dropper, so as not to cause a large number of bubbles mixed into the liquid due to the liquid rushing to the Murphy dropper of the blood transfusion set. The air in the blood transfusion set should be exhausted, and the height of the liquid level in the Murphy dropper should be 2/3, and the minimum should not be less than 1/2 height.

8. The blood transfusion process should be slow first and then fast, then adjust the blood transfusion speed according to the condition and age, and closely observe whether the patient has adverse blood transfusion reactions (including hemolytic reaction, fever reaction, avoid causing various infectious diseases, etc.), such as abnormal conditions It should be dealt with in time and reported to the doctor.

9. Strengthen patrols during the blood transfusion, observe the changes in the condition, ask the patient's feelings, pay attention to the common problems during the blood transfusion (such as the solution does not drip, the liquid level of the Murphy dropper drops by itself, the blood dripping phenomenon, etc.), if there is an abnormal situation in time deal with.

10. After the blood transfusion set is used, strictly standardized operations are promptly destroyed, disinfected, and treated in a harmless manner.
