Hi all Does your institution require consent for deriviatives (Factors, IVIG)? There seems to be some variability in how this is done - we are revising our consent for transfusion form and would like input. I dont see it specifically referenced in Standards. Thank you

Hi We currently perform T and S on about 20% of our Moms to be here- the rest have hold specs drawn for BB. Many of them come in with results from another provider and that info is stored in their chart. The RN is responsible for ordering RhIg based on either the result we obtain or the historical result from another institution. We have had rare cases with a massive bleed where the lack of a current tested spec in house is a problem. They are proposing ordering a T and S on ALL Moms - regardless of history of type with other accreditated institution or maternal risk. While I like the idea of always having a tested spec in the BB- it will cause an big increase in work and of course the majority of the Moms never need blood What do you do? Thank you Leslie Thank you.

Hi We titer for anti-A only, and use 1:100 as a cutoff.
