S.C.A.R.F.
Malcolm Needs reacted to mrmic for a topic
Sometimes I forget what I forgot? What happened to the S.C.A.R.F. group? I don't see anything on this site mentioned about it and it was a great exchange program for Immunohematology Reference labs. It was going through some changes when I changed jobs and left the membership.1 point -
I have even gone so far as to tell the nurse taking care of the patient that when they learned the patient's name and not the room number to give me a call back and we will discuss the patient at that time.1 point

Transfusion Errors
AMcCord reacted to John C. Staley for a topic
I had always found it difficult to convince nurses that we were working with a person/patient and not a room/bed! This became even more difficult after all the privacy rules and regulations came about. It was almost as if they were terrified to say a patient's name aloud!1 point -
Does this blood bank "critical thinking" question makes sense to anyone?
Joanne P. Scannell reacted to SbbPerson for a topic
I disagree. Most gel cards and Anti-D reagents won't detect DVI for patients. Fortunately I can find numerous suitable quotes, because it's true. https://labs-inc.org/pdf/361_3.pdf1 point -
Transfusion Errors
Arno reacted to Malcolm Needs for a topic
In the UK, we have the SHOT Report (Serious Hazards of Transfusion) that reports every year, and has done so since 1996. Their reports, which anonymise the reporter, are always both interesting and informative.1 point -
Anyone want to share a DTT procedure?
AMcCord reacted to carolyn swickard for a topic
TS- Dithiothreitol -DTT- Treatment of RBCs.pdfThis is our procedure for the HemoBioScience product. it will be open for 30 days only. (I think) Don't worry about thawing it too many times - there is only 2-4 mls in each tube, so it doesn't last for that many pts. We have just thawed ours at room temp. We wrote the procedure using both the HemoBioScience procedureand the one in the AABB Tech Manual. Best of luck1 point -
That is what my former supervisor used to say (he was a tech for over 50 years)! Get the titer up where you can work with it! God rest him!1 point
