We use to do all cord testing as well at my facility and again because it easier then making change. I changed this practice back in 2006. We now only do cords from Rh Negative mom's, mom's with clinically significant antibodies and when cinically indicated. I didn't find this to hard to change. I talked with the pediatricians and Medical Director. It helped that we had a recent survey(QMPLS) as I am in ontario on cord blood testing. A good Reference that may help you Judd WJ for the 2003-2004 Scientific Section Coordinating COmmittee. Guidelines for prenatal and perinatal immunohematology. Hope this helps Danielle
