Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
To learn the basics theoretical and practical concepts of Immunohematology. To give knowledge and tools for a good performance in blood banking, in order to get quality and improvement in Transfusion Medicine.
Syllabus:
Review of Hematology basic concepts and methodologies, Genetics basis of Immunohematology, Immunological basics concepts in Immunohematology, Antigens – Antibody Reactions in blood cells. The ABO blood group. The Rh blood group. Other major blood groups systems. Blood donor selection, collection and processing. Component Preparation. Compatibility testing. Transfusion Therapy. Antibody Detection and Identification. Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn. Transfusion Therapy. Adverse Transfusion Reactions.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The key idea of this UC is to know the backbone of this area of knowledge. From blood donation too transfusion. Provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge in the area of Immunohemotherapy. Provide knowledge for a good performance in the laboratory, indispensable contribution to a quality Transfusion Medicine. Review of basic concepts of Hematology. Basic concepts of Genetics applied to Transfusion Medicine. Basic concepts of Immunology applied to Transfusion Medicine. Antigen antibody reactions in your erythrocytes' location. Serology of blood groups. The ABO System, Rh. System Other Blood Systems. Donation, preparation and storage. Component preparation Pre-transfusion and compatibility tests. Antibody identification and identification. Hemolytic disease of the newborn. Transfusion therapy. Transfusion reactions. Security, Quality Control and Data Storage. Legislation.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The evaluation will have a continuous characteristic. At the end of the semester there will be a moment of written evaluation in order to evaluate whether the knowledge presented is sedimented. The final score will be the average of the written test and the continuous evaluation with regard to the theoretical component. (corresponding to 50% of the final grade) The practical evaluation will also have a continuous characteristic, five reports associated with the practical work prepared in the classroom will be requested. It will be a reason to evaluate the presentation of a poster/or book chapter with essential meaning for the practice of this UC. A test will be made at the end of the semester for any of the reports delivered. The final note of the practical UC will be the average of the sum of the three moments mentioned (corresponding to 50% of the final grade) The final score will be the average of the sum of the two moments (theoretical-practical).
