- Confirm the provider's transfusion orders, verify that signed informed consent is in the medical record, and obtain baseline vital signs.
- Perform a dual-RN bedside check of the client's identity, blood band, and component bag labels against the medical record.
- Spike and prime the blood administration tubing with 0.9% Normal Saline only, and initiate the cryoprecipitate transfusion.
- Remain at the bedside for the first 15 minutes of the infusion to assess for acute transfusion reactions.
- Flush the line with 0.9% Normal Saline upon completion of the cryoprecipitate, and prepare the line for the platelet transfusion.
