Disposable Blood Transfusion Set With Hypodemic Needle Luer Lock Connector 150cm Tube Length

Product description

A Blood Transfusion Set is a crucial medical device used in healthcare settings to transfuse blood or blood products from a donor to a recipient. Below is a detailed description of a Blood Transfusion Set:

Key Components:

• Needle: The set typically includes a sterile needle for venipuncture, used to access the donor's or recipient's vein.
• Tubing: The tubing is designed to connect the blood bag to the needle, allowing for the flow of blood from the bag to the recipient.
• Clamp: A clamp is often included to regulate the flow of blood during the transfusion process.
• Filter: Some blood transfusion sets feature a filter to remove any potential contaminants or clots from the blood before it reaches the recipient.
• Drip Chamber: The drip chamber allows for the visualization of the blood flow and helps control the rate of transfusion.
• Y-Site: This component allows for the infusion of additional fluids or medications concurrently with the blood transfusion.

Usage:

• Compatibility: Blood Transfusion Sets are compatible with standard blood bags and are designed for single-use to prevent contamination.
• Transfusion Process: The set is used by healthcare professionals to safely and efficiently transfuse blood products, such as packed red blood cells, platelets, or plasma, from a donor to a recipient.
• Safety Features: Many sets come with safety features such as needle guards to prevent accidental needlesticks and air detector mechanisms to ensure air bubbles are not transfused.

How to Use:

• Preparation: Ensure proper identification of the donor blood and recipient. Verify compatibility and perform necessary safety checks.
• Setup: Connect the tubing to the blood bag and prime the tubing to remove air bubbles.
• Venipuncture: Perform venipuncture on the recipient using aseptic technique and insert the needle securely.
• Initiate Transfusion: Open the clamp to start the transfusion and adjust the flow rate as needed.
• Monitoring: Regularly monitor the transfusion process, the recipient's vital signs, and for any signs of adverse reactions.
• Completion: Once the transfusion is complete, securely dispose of the used Blood Transfusion Set according to medical waste disposal protocols.

Precautions:

• Follow strict aseptic techniques during setup and administration to prevent infections.
• Monitor for signs of transfusion reactions and respond promptly to any complications.
• Always dispose of used Blood Transfusion Sets properly to prevent contamination and infection.
• Blood Transfusion Sets play a vital role in ensuring safe and effective blood transfusions. Proper training and adherence to protocols are essential when using these sets to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.

FAQ

1.What kind of needle is used for blood transfusion?
Use of an 18-gauge (or larger) needle prevents mechanical damage to and hemolysis of red blood cells. A standard filter should always be used for infusion of any blood component. Only 0.9% saline IV should be allowed into the blood bag or in the same tubing with blood.

2.Can we transfuse blood with syringe?
Use the most appropriate syringe for the volume ordered to draw the RBCs from the bag through the blood administration tubing. The contents of the RBC unit may be used to prime the filter/line (the second spike of the blood administration tubing may remain clamped off).

3.What set is used for blood transfusions?
The transfusion set is used to administer blood or blood products from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device includes tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to a pouch.

4.Why use large bore needle for blood transfusion?
The smaller the gauge, the slower the flow rate and the higher is the risk of clotting, so a large-bore cannula is preferred. Along with blood transfusion, this needle is commonly used for infusions of large amounts of liquids.

5.What is the difference between IV set and blood transfusion set?
The differences between an infusion set and a blood transfusion set are primarily rooted in the nature of the substances being administered, the frequency of replacement, the dimensions of the filters employed, and the specific types of substances that each filter is tailored to either permit or screen out.

6.What is the best needle for blood transfusion?
Optimizing Blood Collection: Choosing the Right Needle Matters
Short and straight with plastic wings on either side, the butterfly needle – also known as a winged-infusion blood collection set or system – generally has flexible tubing. The tubing connects to a connector and either other tubing, or a syringe, vacuum tube holder, or collection bottle to hold the blood.
