is there a picture of it so I can answer
Answer:
This is the banking of red cell units from the patient before planned surgery.
PAD was stimulated by concerns about viral transmission by donor blood, especially during the HIV epidemic of the early 1980s. With a red cell storage-life of 35 days at 4°C, most healthy adult patients can donate up to three red cell units before elective surgery. Patients may be given iron supplements, sometimes with erythropoietin, to prevent anaemia or allow more donations to be collected. The Blood Safety and Quality Regulations (BSQR, 2005) require that donations for PAD must be performed in a licensed blood establishment, rather than a routine hospital setting. The donations must be processed and tested in the same way as donor blood and are subject to the same requirements for traceability.
Given the current remote risk of viral transfusion-transmitted infection by donor blood in developed countries, the rationale, safety and cost-effectiveness of routine PAD has been severely questioned (see 2007 British Committee for Standards in Haematology (BCSH) Guidelines for Policies on Alternatives to Allogeneic Blood Transfusion. 1. Predeposit Autologous Blood Donation and Transfusion – https://b-s-h.org.uk) and the procedure is now rarely performed in the UK. Although PAD may reduce exposure to donor blood, it does not reduce overall exposure to transfusion procedures or protect against wrong blood into patient episodes due to identification errors at collection from the blood bank or at the bedside. Indeed, the availability of autologous blood may increase the risk of unnecessary transfusion. Most Jehovah’s Witnesses will decline PAD (see Chapter 12). Clinical trials of PAD are mainly small and of low quality and do not provide strong evidence that the risks outweigh the benefits. The BCSH guideline on PAD only recommends its use in ‘exceptional circumstances’, and lists the following indications for PAD:
Patients with rare blood groups or multiple blood group antibodies where compatible allogeneic (donor) blood is difficult to obtain.
Patients at serious psychiatric risk because of anxiety about exposure to donor blood.
Patients who refuse to consent to donor blood transfusion but will accept PAD.
Children undergoing scoliosis surgery (in practice, most specialist units now use other blood conservation measures).
PAD should only be considered in surgery with a significant likelihood of requiring transfusion, operation dates must be guaranteed and the patient’s ability to donate safely must be assessed by a ‘competent clinician’, usually a transfusion medicine specialist. Adverse events and reactions associated with PAD (or other autologous transfusion systems) should be reported to the Serious Hazards of Transfusion (SHOT) haemovigilance scheme and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
For a long time, the standard for "normal" blood pressure was 120/80. The current thinking is that a more healthy pressure is actually 110/70. 106/64 is a little lower than the norm but may be totally normal for you. If you become dehydrated it can lower your blood pressure and if your blood pressure goes too low it can cause feeling faint or passing out. If it's never been an issue and your MD doesn't have a problem I wouldn't worry.
The answer is: D. None of the choices are correct
In order to have type ab blood, you need to have genotype blood type A and genotype blood type B.
You could receive it from these scenarios:
- Both of your parents are type ab blood
or
- One of your parents has type a blood while the other has type b blood
