Short, simple, to the point. Great job!

If there is concern of a transfusion reaction, stop the infusion and run normal saline but make sure not to use the blood infusion tubing. Set up a new bag of saline and use regular tubing. This way, you are not continuing to flush the remnant blood into the patient.
You should also keep that blood tubing port to the patient sterile after disconnecting. The doctor may assess the patient and then deem it safe to resume the infusion.

Who else is watching this in the bathroom before giving blood?

[Dr.SamsonMarkMulungu]

How long do you transfuse ? And at what rate ? ( give range )

[elsjegenis]

So essentially we should have an extra bag of NS primed and ready to go at the bedside incase hemolytic reaction occurs? Does the bag of NS you used to prime the blood transfusion line need to be a certain volume?

[summerglow]

Thanks, I have a question. Do you infuse the normal saline after the blood is done transfusing? Or do you let the normal saline transfuse at the same time as the blood?

Remember when hanging any transfusion to wear gloves. Wash your hands before and after.

[MegaNainaa]

You should have shown how to put it in the pump.

[Migh_tymitch]

Great video my tho one recommendations is gloves the odds are in your favour but medical blood is not 100% safe

[ameliamacintosh]

thank you that was very helpful but please speak louder,

[mlkyway]

If there is already Pnss that hooked to the pt . Should I get another Pnss for BT or it's okat to use the pnss which is hooked to the pt?

[tomedwards]

Never squeeze the filter, it could rupture and allow blood clots to go through, that’s the purpose of the filter

[Ibramedico]

Is without Gloves with this procedure normal?

[AndakoHebari-qf]

Awesome, but you do not have gloves. For safety purposes, we have to wear gloves to do this procedure. Otherwise, it is superb. God bless life savers ❤.

[Enoughsenoughnomas]

"take the line off and flush it with normal saline", flush what with normal saline, the line that you took off the patient?

[Motivationalbankz]
