Transfusion Medicine Techniques

Selecting, tagging and issuing blood components or products for transfusion can save a patient’s life, that is, when it is the correct product administered to the correct recipient. Examine how blood group systems and processes used in transfusion medicine impact the process, which starts with a collection of a suitable specimen for pretransfusion testing and ends with transfusion of the best product for optimal benefit. Explore adverse reactions to transfusion, including causes of hemolytic transfusion reactions (HTR) and identify immediate responses for patient care. Discuss basic concepts pertaining to Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN). The skills obtained in this course will allow you to determine the role of ABO and Rh systems in transfusion, various types and purposes of blood components and products available for transfusion therapy, and how to manage blood components in your workplace. TRAM101 is the first course in a series of Transfusion Medicine courses that are currently being developed.

An Invigilator is required for the final assessment.

Prerequisites: Pre-Requisite: TRAM101

This course builds on TRAM101, using the foundations of ABO and Rh blood group systems to interpret pretransfusion test results and select appropriate donor red cells for transfusion. You will examine how other blood group systems may influence pretransfusion test results and donor selection, as well as methodologies used to perform serological testing. Discuss investigative techniques and procedures pertaining to pre and postnatal care, Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN) and Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions.

The correct application of transfusion medicine techniques and accurate performance of serologic and non-serologic procedures enhance the safety of blood transfusion and can ultimately save a patient’s life. This is a hands-on course during which you will apply the concepts that you have learned in TRAM101 and TRAM201 in a rural medical laboratory setting. You will learn how to perform, read, and interpret serological tests, including ABO and Rh testing, antibody screens, and the direct antiglobulin test. You will interpret pretransfusion test results to select, prepare, and issue blood components and products. You will learn how to investigate transfusion reactions and screen for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. You will also learn how to perform quality assurance and maintenance procedures for testing and equipment in a transfusion medicine laboratory. This course will be offered in a blended format, with theoretical content delivered online (35 hours) and face to face activities taking place at a medical laboratory with transfusion medicine testing capabilities (120 hours).

This course does not take place at the NAIT campus. Students are required to locate a medical laboratory that offers transfusion medicine to complete the hands-on skills within this course. You are encouraged to review the FAQs prior to enrolling in this course.
