Red Cells • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) • Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
Clotting • Extrinsic • Intrinsic
Heparin PTT Coumadin PT or INR Vitamin K Protamine sulfate
Drugs Impairing the Hematologic System • Drugs causing bone marrow suppression • Drugs causing hemolysis • Drugs that disrupt platelet action • Drugs that disrupt clotting action
ANEMIAS • “Can Not Make” • “Lost” • “Destroyed”
Iron Deficiency Pernicious Anemia Folic Acid Deficiency Trauma Chronic loss Sickle Cell Infectious Agents Antibodies Aplastic Anemia G6PD Deficiency ANEMIAS
Sickle Cell Anemia • Pain Control • Sickle cell crisis • Rational for orders • Nursing orders
Pernicious Anemia • Vitamin B 12 • Intrinsic Factor • Cells mutate and become large • Development of Neurological problems
Clotting Problems • Thrombocytopenia • Hemophilia • Von Willebrand • Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
DIC “Imbalance between the process of coagulation and anticoagulation”
Heparin Administration • Heparin loading dose • Initial Maintenance Infusion • Dosage calculation often by patients weight
Identification Lab values Drs order verify Pt assessment IV site assessment Documentation Verify with 2nd RN Monitor VS Remain with the patient TransfusionAdministration
Automatic IV infuser pump • Flow rate calculation • Blood/Blood product w/tag • 150 cc NS • Blood Administration Set • Gloves
Blood Bank • Patient name and I.D. number • Unit number and ABO/Rh type on bag with blood bag compatibility tag & bag unit/type • Verify expiration date on blood bag
Autologous Blood Transfusions • Preoperative autologous blood donation • Acute normovolemic hemodilution • Intraoperative autologous transfusion • Postoperative blood salvage
Characteristics of Normal Cells • Limited Cell Division • Specific Morphology • Small Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Ratio • Perform Specific Differentiated Functions • Adhere tightly together… • Are nonmigratory • Grow in an orderly and well differentiated manner • Are contact inhibited
Characteristics of Malignant Cells • Demonstrate rapid or continuous cellular division. • Show anaplastic morphology • Have alargenuclear-cytoplasmic ratio • Lose some or all differentiated functions • Adhere loosely together • Are able to migrate • Grow by invasion • Are not contact-inhibited
Leukemia • AML - Acute Myelogenous • ALL - Acute Lymphocytic • CML - Chronic Myelogenous • CLL - Chronic Lymphocytic
FAB Leukemia Classification • French American British Classification • Historically distinguishing AML from ALL was a major clinical problem • Chemotherapy dependent on tissue type
Acute Leukemia NCCN Guidelines • National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has issued guidelines for treatment of many cancers including Leukemia as well as other hematological malignancies http://www.nccn.org/index.html
Bone Marrow Aspiration • Bone marrow biopsy • Bone marrow aspiration
Lymphoma • Hodgkin’s lymphoma • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Multiple Myeloma • Gammopathy • “M” Protein • called a tumor marker
History of Myeloma • Skeletal evidence of myeloma obtained from Egyptian mummies • First case described in 1844 • 1845 Dr Henry Bence Jones detected heat properties of urinary light chains • 1929 Bone marrow aspiration • 1937 serum protein electrophoresis • 1960 Alkeran and prednisone- first treatment
What is Multiple Myeloma? • A cancer of the bone marrow • The location where cells are produced • The affected cells are plasma cells • Plasma cells produce antibodies (proteins that fight off infection)
To Many Harmful Plasma Cells • Abnormal Plasma Cells are called Myeloma Cells and develop without warning • Myeloma cells collect in bones and cause “soft spots” where the cell is damaged
Normal cells are not being produced in the bone marrow Bones are damaged Bone demineralization (soft spots) Effects of the blood
Symptomatic Multiple Myeloma • Calcium • Renal • Anemia • Bone
