1. The nursing unit including OR comes to the blood bank when more than one or two units are needed otherwise we use a pneumatic tube system, which is how a majority of the units are delivered. 2. We have a phlebotomy team, however there are several nursing units that collect their own patient samples, such as ICU, NICU and L&D? 3. The phlebotomist witness the nurse draw the specimen. 4. NICU draws their own samples, the phlebotomist draws bilirubins and labortory tests, with the exception of PKUs and other State required testing which is performed by the nursing staff. 5. No testing is performed the date of surgery unless missed on pretesting, If the patient has a history of an antibody and it appears that antibody is still present at the time of the T&S then an addition 3-4 cells are run to verify nothing new has been created and of course 2 ag neg units are made available for surgery.
