LEARNING OUTCOMES
Perform specialized laboratory in Blood Donation.
Understand the multifaceted role of Transfusion Medicine (blood donors, pre-transfusion control, posttransfusion control)
Upon successful completion of the course the students will be able to
Know the reactions from the transfusion.
Distinguish emergency transfusion.
Collaborate with patients for specialized blood test in Uses knowledge for safe blood and blood transfusions.
Collaborate with their classmates to create and present a complex hematological / hematological case.
The aim of this course is the students to understand the concept of Blood Donation and at the same time to become familiar with the laboratory and its standard laboratory procedures. Specifically to know what steps the reception for blood transfusion, the processing and preparation of derivatives (concentrated erythrocytes, whitened products, plasma, platelets), maintenance and preservation of blood and its derivatives, include. To know the main systems of blood groups, as well as their antigens and antibodies. To understand the direct and indirect complications of blood transfusions as well as the hemolytic disease of the newborn.
Students who successfully complete the course are able to work in a blood donation laboratory and deal with the objects of blood collection (history, blood collection), processing of whole blood units for the production of derivatives and laboratory testing of blood donors.
