Abstract
An 11-year-old male green-winged macaw (Ara chloropterus) diagnosed with severe anemia required a packed red blood cell transfusion rather than whole blood based on crossmatching results. Crossmatching performed with a harlequin macaw (Ara ararauna x Ara chloropterus) revealed a compatible major crossmatch and incompatible minor crossmatch. Whole blood was collected from the donor macaw and, using readily available clinical supplies and low-speed centrifugation, processed into packed red blood cells for transfusion. The patient showed a rapid recovery and normalization of hematocrit 2 weeks post-transfusion. This report demonstrates the importance of performing crossmatching and a method for packed red blood cell processing and administration in critical avian patients.
一只11岁的雄性绿翅金刚鹦鹉（Ara chloropterus）被诊断患有严重贫血，根据交叉配型结果，需要输血填充红细胞而不是全血。对一只丑角金刚鹦鹉（Ara ararauna x Ara chloropterus）进行交叉配型，发现主要交叉配型相容，次要交叉配型不相容。从供体金刚鹦鹉身上收集全血，使用现成的临床用品和低速离心，加工成填充红细胞用于输血。输血后2周，患者恢复迅速，红细胞压积恢复正常。本报告展示了在禽类危重患者中进行交叉配型和填充红细胞处理和给药方法的重要性。
期刊介绍：
Zoo Biology is concerned with reproduction, demographics, genetics, behavior, medicine, husbandry, nutrition, conservation and all empirical aspects of the exhibition and maintenance of wild animals in wildlife parks, zoos, and aquariums. This diverse journal offers a forum for effectively communicating scientific findings, original ideas, and critical thinking related to the role of wildlife collections and their unique contribution to conservation.
