we use these........... They're kinda pricey but make refrigerators "clean and neat" and they last forever!......we can fit 40 units per shelf - max...... 4 rows of 10u each, there are other "storage solutions" available that would force them to put less on the shelves......

The rate of alloimmunization in massive transfusion trauma patients who receive D positive red cells appears to be quite a bit lower than seen in healthy adults exposed to D positive red cells many years ago in the original trials. Perhaps as low as 1-2%, not 40% as seen in healthy recipients of test doses.

Welcome Ashley657.

No, you are giving group O, D Positive red cells to these patients; not anti-D. Of these patients, 15% of the White patients have the potential to then become immunised and may produce anti-D themselves, but better that than dying. However, not all such recipients will produce an anti-D, as it is well-known that when blood is given in a situation where the patient may be exsanguinating, the patient is less likely that normal to make such antibodies. Even if they do go on to make anti-D, as they are male, the chances of the anti-D affecting a future pregnancy are zero, whatever the WOKES may say these days. We have been doing this in the UK for at least a decade, and we have not experienced many problems with either male or female (over 50) patients.

The small hospital I work per diem at recently switched all massive recipients to getting O positive. Even Rh men and women older than 50 whose Rh is unknown. I’m confused. Are we giving Anti D antibodies to 15% of our men now if doctors call a code massive ? I am retired with decades of experience and came back to work 2 days a week.

I am new to a machine (echo lumina) that constantly give equivocal (?) readings. This seems to make ABID reading harder. Have to go to tube here ( repeat screen). Then if positive go back to the machine we already were steered away from to run ready id. This makes no sense. So is this particular machine not calibrated in reactions sufficiently ? Is it normal to keep jumping methods to get around the ? Readings which in LISS are always negative.
