    Patient re-type

    Wouldn't a second type on an Oh patient be just as likely as the first to simply appear (erroneously) as group O, if using standard ABO typing methods? Am I missing something?

  2. It is best from an operational standpoint to do the same thing every time. If you always do a second type on patients without a history, you won't forget to do one.

    Patient re-type

    We also do a second type on all patients without a history in the computer. We try to use a stored Hemo specimen collected at a different time to save the patient another stick. If there are no previous specimens, we order an "ABO Recheck" in the computer. Only the Lab can place this order to keep nursing from ordering this by mistake which they used to do. We used to only do the rechecks on any type but O. We got a new Lab Director who didn't like that practice so we moved to retyping all new patients.

    Patient re-type

    This is a CAP and AABB requirement. We get a new tube on any inpatient, OR patient, or ED patient whether they are getting blood or not. That way if they do need blood, we already have the second type. The tube should be drawn by a second person at a different time.
