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.

Kinda hot... I like how you said "theeen..."
Thanks a lot, god bless you.
Omg I got A+ and I didn't even study! ?
could you answer my question?
because of the lack of "antibodies" in the plasma of people with AB blood type...???? ?? ???? ???? ???? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ?????????
Thanks
Hello fellow Science classmates
Thank you so much! Usually, I prefer to watch more than a single video to understand something, your video is more than clear and satisfying!
Great. Tea
I did not understand how blood types work, but this video helped me understand much better! Thank you!
From a freshman, you saved my exam in genes and heredity. Thank you so much.
Very helpful... thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your clear explanation. You are the best
Hey Sarah, with Rh negative RBS, is there any Rh antibodies in their plasma?
If a O- person is getting blood from others, they can only get O-. Is that because there is Rh antibodies in O- person's blood so they can only get negative ones?
And I love your accent!
Cheers
Maddie
Awesome!!! very clearly explained
Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks so much
Thank you, finally, I get it. My lab instructor could not help but this video did.
do u have anything of immunoglobulins?
You're an awesome teacher you teach very well.
im 0 BLOOD TYPE i didnt know im royal :D
My blood group ab negative
It's very fantastic video,
Keep it up my dear.
I have learned a lot of my complications
Thanks once again
Out of all the blood typing and Rh explaining on youtube, this is THE ONLY one that I find so helpful. Straight to the point and I understand!
So THANK YOU!
Thank you for your video. I have been out of practice for awhile and I am taking a RN refresher course. Soon, I'll be in a lab explaining blood administration from beginning to end. I know they'll be wanting me to cover transfusion reactions and all related S/S. I watched your blood videos, took notes and then the quiz. You're very thorough.
Is it safe to conclude that the blood type that can receive any blood types is AB+?
You are a good teacher. I understood this!
Good explanation, thanks honey
This was the best video I seen by you. Wow! I really got my blood types down pack. Thanks!
Thank you for this video it was really helpful
FINALLY UNDERSTOOD!!! THank-you
Geeeesh lucky are those blood type AB for they can receive from all types of blood. Felt bad for type O for they can only receive for their same blood type, but the goodnews is they can give blood to all blood types. ?
Thank you so much, super helpful for my anatomy class
Thank you for uploading this! I wasnt able to review it in my books yesterday due to the excess content of other homework. This was a great overview!!
Thank you❤️
wow
Haha! We are cracking up at her accent! My 8 yr old is tripping on it?

Comment from a non medical person.
Very well explained indeed.
Please reply for my comment ?
I thought i was O+ when i tested my blood group in a laboratory.. Then i went for a blood donation back when i was in college, the Hospital blood testing lab told me that in was O-ve... i was like WTH..
Damn part was when i went to hospital for some routine checkup i did my blood group test..
They took my blood, tested it, told me iam O-ve, (I'm like oookay...) then the Laboratory girl said, wait....
You're O+ve..
I asked is this some kind of game or, is it always for me...?
""She said the test is taking some time for the result..."""
Does this usually happens??
It ain't no joke or funny comment guys, please explain?????
Thank you!
Clear , simple , great job thx alot?
I'm O+ and pretty much invincible. The way I remember my blood type is by asking myself if I'd like another Oreo.
omg them, wish u were my teacher ur so clear
O negative I'm

Universal Blood = Strongest Blood .
Thank you so much for this! My Biology class is online now so our labs are to be done at home. This week it was on blood but there is no chapter or sub chapter on blood! It was frustrating trying to understand from the content in the lab alone. You made it so easy!
Thank you so much for all your videos, they have helped me tremendously through nursing school from dose calc. to blood transfusions and so much more. You have helped to explain things that were not clear and give better understanding to subjects we have covered. You should really be a nursing teacher, you have helped so many people through your channel!!!
Really good teaching now i know what are anti bodies and Anigens
You are such a life saver. Am a student nurse and trust me am enjoying all of my classes because you have been so helpful. Thanks keep it up
Detailed and clear explanation. I had wondered about blood types for a long time. Now I can clearly understand. Thank-you.
Thank you mam
Thank you
Omg you are heaven sent
Mam awesome...

Sarah is very smart and genius nurse! I’m being motivated by her teaching skills. Please keep it!
thank you so much for this. ive scoured Google for explanations and by chance found this before my teas test. tysm! subscribed!
I am O negative.. That means I am fucked!
??♥️♥️
This is a positively pellucid explanation of the subject. Beautifully presented.
What blood type do people who can’t spell have?
Type O!
Wonderful explanation, thank you!
When we were discussing about blood types (like a year ago) , my mind was wandering and i never learned a thing except for the fact that you cant be anyone's donor or recipient ? now that i have extra time to pause from a long day of just doing NCPs , i found this vid and decided to learn about blood types coz i ought to learn this duh ? thank you so much to youuuuuu, now i finally understood how this works ??❤ keep inspiring student nurses to learn easily. You are such a blessing i hope you know that ❤
Love from Philippines ??
It is possible that type O and type B can have a child that has a blood type AB ??
omg thank you so much! this helps me a lot???
thank you this was so helpful!!!!!
You made it so simple, thanks.
Great tutorial ❤️
Thank you mam, lots of love and Good luck for ur upcoming more imformative videos

G rest. Teacher
Your page is going to get me through nursing school
