Published	12/13/2023	According to the ASA, blood transfusions are usually unnecessary when the hemoglobin is greater than {{c1::10}} g/dL.
Published	12/13/2023	If the type and screen is negative, the {{c1::type and crossmatch}} is the next blood test that is done.
Published	12/13/2023	The type and {{c1::screen}} is done when there is a low likelihood of transfusion.
Published	12/13/2023	The type and {{c1::crossmatch}} is done when there is a high likelihood of transfusion.
Published	12/13/2023	In a massive transfusion, {{c2::blood warmers}} should be used because hypothermia will exacerbate {{c1::coagulopathy}}.
Published	12/13/2023	Massive transfusion of PRBCs and FFP can cause dilutional {{c1::coagulopathies}} due to deficiencies of factors V and VIII
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, the R time represents the {{c1::time to start forming clots}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, the K time represents the {{c1::time until the clot reaches a fixed strength}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, the alpha angle represents the {{c1::speed of fibrin accumulation}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, the maximum amplitude represents the {{c1::peak clot strength}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, decreases in the A60 represents {{c1::excess fibrinolysis}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, a prolonged R time is treated with {{c1::FFP}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, a prolonged K time is treated with {{c1::cryoprecipitate}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, a decreased alpha angle is treated with {{c1::cryoprecipitate}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, a decreased maximum amplitude is treated with {{c1::platelets}} or {{c1::DDAVP}}.

Published	12/13/2023	What blood product comes with the highest rate of bacterial contamination?{{c1::Platelets}}
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, decreases in the K time represents a defect with {{c1::fibrinogen}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, decreases in the maximum amplitude represents a defect with {{c1::platelets}}.
Published	12/13/2023	On a thromboelastograph, decreases in the R time represents a defect with {{c1::coagulation factors}}.
