Beaker got a reaction from John C. Staley in Units being returned from isolated patients
This came up at our facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Infection control advice was to handle blood units as per usual precautions, given that PPE would be worn by anyone handling the blood units and hand hygiene performed before initiating transfusion. All coolers returned to the blood bank are disinfected at our facilities regardless of patient isolation status.
