[Transfusion Reactions]

i'm with john. if a nurse suspects a reaction she/he may or may not call us to let us know about possibly needing a workup done. i'd say 90% of the time they don't call us until the doctor says he wants the workup ordered/done. otherwise, we have nurses that would call a reaction if a patient sneezed while being transfused.

[When do you do Fetal Screen?]

i'm sure they would be mad, if they started the fetal screen before the rh was done.

i'm in new orleans.

[When do you do Fetal Screen?]

we run a fetal screen with any rhogam order we receive.

[Hello from Louisiana!]

I work at one of the only hospitals that stayed open during/after Katrina. Things are still pretty hectic around here even though it's been over a year. Our city is slowly but surely coming back. Wish us luck!
