  1. This is mentioned as "increasing the serum to cell ratio" in tech manuals and guides, but it is SUPER vague! I agree that you should not allow your techs to do this if it's not in the SOP. I have RT and 4C incubations as things to try to resolve blood type discrepancies in my SOP. The only place we mention increased serum to cell ratio is to enhance weak antibody screen reactions by using 3 drops plasma and 3 drops PEG to one drop cells. We don't change serum to cell ratio for blood types or ISXM.

  2. A lecturer I listened to discussed MTP and stated that using Rh positive packed cells keeps the patient alive. He said that if anti-D is built, it can be dealt with when the woman gets pregnant. If she dies because she didn't get transfused with Rh positive packed cells, she certainly won't even have the opportunity to become pregnant. So, there's that.
