A PowerPoint presentation outlining the physiology of blood transfusion, and clinical precautions to take in preventing and managing blood transfusion reactions.
Autologous Blood Transfusion (ABT) means reinfusion of blood or blood products taken from the same patient
ABT is not a new concept, fear of transfusion- transmitted diseases stimulated the growth of autologous programme
blood transfusion is a life saving procedure. so role of nurse here while transfused the blood in the ward is important. in this slide role of nurse is given here. if you like kindly give your comment and share it to others. follow my account to know more.
This PPT is basically based on the topic - Blood transfusion in Bailey & Love and mainly very useful for Final MBBS students.during their course as well as their in clinical practice.
Blood transfusion is the process through which blood and blood products are transferred to circulation intravenously. Early transfusions used whole blood but modern medical practice commonly used components of blood.It helps to replace blood lost during injury or surgery. It is a life saving procedure. before transfusion of blood it is necessary to know your blood group type. As blood group o is considered as universal donor and blood group AB considered as universal accepter.
Blood transfusion are relatively safe but can be fatal if incorrectly administered. Donated blood can be processed into components such as PCV, FFP, Platelets, Cryoprecipitate. Doctors and nurses plays a major role in blood transfusion. They should follows all safety precautions throughout all steps of administrating procedure.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine.

3. INTRODUCTION
The adult human has about 4-6 litres of blood in
circulation throughout the body.
Among several other functions, the primary role of blood
is to transport oxygen to various parts of the body.
Blood is made up of several cells which float around in a
liquid called plasma.
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 3
4. DEFINITION
Blood transfusion is the transfer of whole blood or blood
components intravenously into one’s circulatory system.
The person receiving blood is known as the recipient while
the person donating blood is known as the donor.
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 4
5. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
1492: Pope Innocent VII received the first recorded blood transfusion in
history, it was unsuccessful.
1628: William Harvey (a British physician) is credited with the discovery of
blood circulation.
1665: Richard Lower performed the first successful blood transfusion
(animal-to-animal)
1818: James Blundell human-to-human blood transfusion for a man with
gastric carcinoma.
1901: Karl Landsteiner discovered blood groups A, B, C now known as blood
groups A, B, O.
1907: Reuben Ottenberg and Schultz conducted the first blood grouping and
cross-matching.
1914-1918: Oswald Hope Robertson established the first blood depot (blood
bank)
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 5
8. BLOOD GROUPS
Classification of blood is based on the presence or absence of
inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells
(RBCs).
These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins or
glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.
The ABO blood group system is the most important blood group system
in human blood transfusion.
Based on the presence or absence of antigen A and antigen B, blood is
divided into four groups:
• A
• B
• AB
• O
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 8
9. BLOOD GROUPS
Blood with antigen A belongs to ‘A’ group. This blood has β-antibody in
the serum.
Blood with antigen B and α-antibody belongs to ‘B’ group.
If both the antigens are present, the blood group is called ‘AB’ group
and the serum of this group does not contain any antibody.
If both antigens are absent, the blood group is called ‘O’ and both α
and β antibodies are present in the serum.
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 9
11. THE RHESUS FACTOR
The rhesus blood type (named after the rhesus monkey) was first
discovered in 1937 by Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Wiener.
When red blood cells containing Rh factor are injected into a person
whose blood does not contain the Rh factor, anti-Rh agglutinins
develop slowly, reaching maximum concentration of agglutinins about
2-4 months later.
If a Rh-negative person has never before been exposed to Rh-positive
blood and is now transfused with Rh-positive blood, the following may
occur:
• No immediate reaction.
• anti-Rh antibodies develop in sufficient quantities slowly over time.
Subsequent transfusion of Rh-positive blood into the same person who
is now already sensitized may result in a severe transfusion reaction.
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 11
14. CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION
1. Homologous (allogenic) blood transfusion: Blood transfusion with
blood donated from another compatible donor of the same specie.
2. Autologous blood transfusion: Blood transfusion with blood gotten
from the same person.
Types of autologous blood transfusion:
Preoperative Autologous Blood Donation (PABD)
Acute Isovolemic Hemodilution (AIVH)
Intraoperative Blood Salvage
Postoperative Blood Salvage

26. Immediate Reactions
1) Febrile non haemolytic transfusion reaction: It is quite common and most times
it is due to incompatibility between antigens on the donor’s white cells and
antibodies in the recipient’s plasma leading to the release of pyrogens. It may also
be due to endotoxins and pyrogens in the transfusion set or blood.
Clinical Features
•Rigor and fever
•Nausea and vomiting
•Flushing
•Tachycardia
Management
•Stop transfusion temporarily
•Exclude haemolytic reactions, septicaemia or malaria
•Give Paracetamol/Aspirin to bring down the temperature
Prevention
•Future transfusion should be with leukocyte depleted blood products

27. Immediate Reactions
2) Allergic reactions: It occurs in 2% of transfusions. It is common in patients
receiving repeated transfusion. It is due to allergens, usually plasma protein in the
donor plasma and so is less likely to occur with packed red cells.
Clinical features
•Urticaria
•Myalgia/Arthralgia
•Bronchospasm
•Oedema of the face and larynx
•Chest pain
•Hypotension
•Abdominal cramps
•Diarrhoea
•Shock.
•Pyrexia
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 27
28. Immediate Reactions
Management
•Stop the transfusion
•Give steroid and anti-histamine
•If symptoms are severe, adrenaline should be administered intravenously.
Prevention
•During future transfusion, patient should have pre-medication with
antihistamines before transfusion or be given plasma free components e.g.
washed packed RBC for treatment of anaemia

29. Immediate Reactions
3) Haemolytic Reactions: This is the most serious complication of blood
transfusion and it is usually due to ABO incompatibility.
Clinical Features
•Pain along the vein being used for transfusion
•Headache
•Rigors and fever
•Dyspnoea
•Pain in the loin
•Jaundice
•Shock
•Haemoglobinuria
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 29
30. Immediate Reactions
Management
•Blood transfusion should be stopped and a sample is taken from the remainder
and the patient’s blood for further grouping and cross matching. Besides, clerical
checks should also be done.
•Some blood should be taken for culture as bacterial contamination may be the
cause of the symptoms.
•Diuresis should be established to flush the renal tubules of haemoglobin and
prevent blockage.

31. Immediate Reactions
4) Circulation Overload: It usually occurs in patients with congestive cardiac
failure, chronic anaemia or renal disease.
Clinical Features
•Dyspnoea, orthopnoea
•Cyanosis
•Cough, frothy sputum
•Raised JVP
•Rapid and weak pulse
Management
•Transfusion is stopped and patient is propped up
•IV Frusemide is administered to remove the excess fluid
•Emergency phlebotomy is done to remove excess blood
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 31
32. Delayed Reactions
1) Thrombophlebitis: It follows
•Injury to the vein by the needle or cannula
•Spasm of the vein caused by cold blood.
•Prolonged use of the same vein
•Leakage of blood around the vein
•Sepsis
Clinical Features
•Pain, redness, tenderness, thickening of the vein
•Pyrexia
Management
•Analgesics are administered for the pain
•The affected limb is rested
•A sample is taken form the tip of the needle or cannula for culture and sensitivity
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 32
33. Delayed Reactions
2) Delayed Haemolysis: This delayed red cell haemolysis follows stimulation and
production of antibodies which at the time of cross matching were too low in
concentration to be detected.
3) Platelet antibodies: Usually occurs 7-14 days after transfusion. It is due to
formation of antibodies to the transfused platelets.
Clinical Features
•Petechiae haemorrhage
•Bleeding from mucus membranes
Management
There is usually spontaneous recovery
•In severe cases give prednisolone or IV immunoglobulin
•You may need to do a plasmaphoresis
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 33
34. Delayed Reactions
4) Transfusion of diseases: Viral hepatitis (B,C,D), Malaria, Syphilis,
Cytomegalovirus infection, Human Immunodeficiency virus, Trypanosomiasis,
Toxoplasmosis(protozoan), Infectious mononucleosis, Brucellosis(bacterial).
5) Micro aggregates: Degeneration of leukocytes and platelets form aggregates,
which may cause pulmonary micro embolism, with resulting pulmonary
insufficiency. It occurs more commonly after massive transfusion. The use of
micro-filters reduces the incidence.
6) Immunosuppresion: Natural Killer cells and T lymphocytes’ blastogenic
activities are reduced while suppressor T lymphocytes activity is enhanced.
7) Transfusion Haemosiderosis
Dr. Boluwatife Afolabi 34
35. CONCLUSION
Blood is a powerful and important therapeutic agent in
surgery, especially maxillofacial surgery.
It’s important to have a sound knowledge on the rational
use of blood (and blood components) in patients.
