    Of course level 1trauma center stock 4 whole blood o pos low titer

    Basic guideline from our trauma center-- O Pos to all males and females over 50 Critical shortage--use O Pos. The Medical Director can sign after the emergent event
  3. LIMPER55
    mostly given IV cuz reimbursement is greater from insurance than I'm

    We use the Thromboelastograph and allow surgeon and anesthesia see real time results.
  5. LIMPER55
    We do only the IGG in gel or tube and C3 in tube. The Poly has proven unacceptable.
  6. LIMPER55
    How did you get a supplier to support you? Ours says no way!

    MTP POLICY IS IN PLACE: USE A PLASMA IF AB IS NOT AVAILABLE.

    The Sure-Cue indicators are touchy-but work ! We use them in our level 1 trauma center for MTP packs.

    similar situation--Rn kept in her pocket for 12 hours after dispense. I wrote technical service at Rhophylac company--they said no worries--should be fine.!!!

    Safe-T-Vue is the only brand to use for long term The HemoTemps do NOT stay activated. Safe-T-Vue -each box comes with validation! They are more expensive
  11. LIMPER55
    do the screening cells/control cells first--then if neccessary-panel

    Our "LEAN" department makes us use everyone. In my opinion-this has cost us quality. Not a good idea to have a casually trained tech working-no SBB in charge for reviews.
  13. LIMPER55
    No retype give product and have transfusion committee review
  14. LIMPER55
    regular maintenance-drain weekly
  15. LIMPER55
    only perform the fetal screen on a post delivery specimen
  16. LIMPER55
    We don't care what the type or antibody screen says. Issue it. That's only for trauma or ER patients that are not willing to wait for lab results.
  17. LIMPER55
    Yes because lis makes us but we crossmatch type O
  18. LIMPER55
    we combine in lab just before transfusion.
  19. LIMPER55
    Our units have the peltier probes already test activated and performed by touching the screen validate annually with slurry of ice and thermometer

    Got it! thanks for the information! appreciate ur efforts

    We will be aliquoting red cells in syringes for NICU transfusions. (less than 50 m) Is a hood required for this procedure--to draw up the blood from the bag to syringe is an open process.
  22. LIMPER55
    These indicators are fine for surgery issued units. The indicators do NOT stay activated. We cannot use them on our units stored in the trauma refrigerator--we do not want to keep changing them out.
  23. LIMPER55
    I KNOW!! I'm wondering where and when this got put into the procedure!
  24. LIMPER55
    our policy for DAT tube investigation includes in the "limitations" area: Wash the patient's cell suspension with 37 degree to 45 degree C saline prior to dropping cells in the test tubes and washing eash drop in thecell washer to facilitate a valid test with a negative saline control. I cannot find any references to this technique. Can the blood bank community help?
  25. LIMPER55
    I have submitted several complaints on this topic. The company and our rep deny, deny, deny
