Blood Types Explained | Blood Groups (ABO) and Rh Factor Nursing Transfusions Compatibility

lifestyle No Comments »

Blood typing made easy with explanation on ABO blood groups and Rh factor for nurses (blood transfusions).

There are 8 total blood types from four blood groups (A, B, AB, O). In nursing we transfuse blood, but before we do this we have to collect blood from the patient who will be receiving the blood transfusion. The patient’s blood will be typed and crossmatched with a donor. The donor’s blood must be compatible with our patient to prevent a transfusion reaction.

To understand blood typing, you have to understand the relationship between antigens and antibodies.

What are red blood cell antigens? They are either present or absent on the surface of RBC. All red blood cells have them EXCEPT Type O RBCs. Antigens are proteins that can elicit an immune response when they come into contact with its corresponding antibodies. Therefore, they stimulate antibodies to defend the body.

So, when the same red blood cell antigens and antibodies get together it will cause an IMMUNE RESPONSE called agglutination. This is where the RBCs will glue together, hence clump together. Therefore, it is VERY important a person is not transfused with the wrong blood type.

Blood Types: Recipient and Donor

A blood type: has only A antigens on its surface with B antibodies in the plasma.

Type A: donates to A and AB and recipient of O and A

B blood type: has only B antigens on its surface with A antibodies in the plasma.

Type B: donates to B and AB and recipient of O and B

AB blood type: has both A and B antigens on its surface with NO antibodies in it plasma.

Type AB: donates to only other ABs but recipient of O, A, B, and AB…known as the “UNIVERSAL RECIPIENT”

O blood type: has NO antigens on its surface with A and B antibodies in its plasma.

Type O: donates to all types but only recipient of other O….known as the “UNIVERSAL DONOR”.

Rh factors: either present or absent on the red blood cells surface.

If these factors are present on the RBC the patient is Rh POSTIVIE, but if these factors are absent the patient is Rh NEGATIVE.

If a patient is Rh positive they can receive either Rh+ or RH- blood. While Rh negative patients can receive only Rh- blood.

LYRICS
I used to think that I deserved this
Tried my best but never perfect
I was helpless and you knew it
You like to think you’re a martyr but you’re just abusive
So now I’m not afraid to admit that there’s nothing left
I know you’ll try to manipulate me again
But I’ve come to grips with the fact that what’s dead is dead
What’s dead is dead. What’s dead is dead

I bet that this is what you wanted
I can’t believe you got the best of me again
I thought that you were being honest
And now I wish I would have never let you in
Ya I know it’s my fault
I love deep, then lose it all
I guess I wanted to believe it
But blood’s not thicker than water after all

All the years spent with a vermin
Left me soul sick, always searching
I learned that trust is rarely worth it
You can’t believe what you hear from the mouth of a serpent
What’s dead is dead. What’s dead is dead. What’s dead is dead

I bet that this is what you wanted
I can’t believe you got the best of me again
I thought that you were being honest
And now I wish I would have never let you in
Ya I know it’s my fault
I love deep, then lose it all
I guess I wanted to believe it
But blood’s not thicker than water after all

You fooled me once, twice, never again
This is cut ties, no goodbye, nail in the coffin
This is the nail in the coffin
Never Again

I bet that this is what you wanted
I can’t believe you got the best of me again
I thought that you were being honest
You were never being honest

I bet that this is what you wanted
I can’t believe you got the best of me again
I thought that you were being honest
And now I wish I would have never let you in
Ya I know it’s my fault
I love deep, then lose it all
I guess I wanted to believe it
But blood’s not thicker than water after all
