The 16th edition of the technical manual states that a FNHTR is defined as the occurence of greater than or = to 1C rise in temp above 37C associated with transfusion for which no other cause is identifiable. they make no mention of baseline temp. if the baseline temp was 38.2 C, 60 min 37C, 120 min 38.4C according to the definition the consecutive rise of 37 to 38.4 would qualify as a FNHTR. Perhaps by their definition they are working in the possibility of the baseline being erroneous and trying to capture any significant increase in temp. VH

Hello, our blood bank issues albumin, 5 and 25% for plasmapheresis procedures. Is there any reason that albumin should comply with the 30 minute rule, infused within 30 minutes from dispense from the blood bank. Cant find any regs on that. Thanks, Ginny Somers Point, NJ

Hi All, I am reviewing procedures and trying to pin down when to do an elution outside of cord blood elutions, i.e. Lui Freeze. I think an acid elution should be done in the presence of a positive DAT when the patient has been transfused in the previous three months; alot of places are using the 21 day rule as it should take 21 days for a delayed reaction to occur but keeping it at three months is more safe in covering those who make take longer to form an antibody or weak responders. A positive DAT when the patient has not been transfused may be attributed to drugs. Somers Point, NJ
