Oxacillin sensitive and cefoxitin resistant would classified as MRSA, would you agree?

I totally agree with you that % is really useless and I think even misleading

Thank you Again, I agree and in that case O recipient should only receive from O donors! But, this is not the trend!!

Thank you, yes PC for platelet concentrate, your explanation seems more logic I thanked (tapped "Thanks") all of you, Shilly, David and you, but each time the interface of the page changes and nothing more happens!! Maybe i did it wrong!! thanx

So, only one choice for PC to group O! Do you think Rh a matter of concern? thanx

I Agree, but in that case it should be the 1st choice! Again thank you

Would you please explain why in PC transfusion (or FFP) group AB is the 4th choice for group O recipients and is the 2nd choice for other groups?! Thanx

:cool::cool::cool:very nice one

I think this is logic and i will be very sad if it came out as rubbish!!

I appreciate Malcolm's efforts for help. I can understand that double antibodies are real headache but that doesn't mean to underestimate others efforts. i have just finished a presentation in our hospital topic was "Rh Typing : Simple Test Or Controversy" I was sure that almost all attendees (physicians and nurses) heard this for the first time and it took me about 1 month preparing the talk, but i felt that i was speaking Chinese!! Disappointed as, I think, Malcolm is!!

Sure! in case of anemia and thrombocytopenia. PRBCs have no functioning platelets. and in case you give Fresh Whole Blood you might expose the patient to circulatory overload and practically speaking is not easy to deliver in a reasonable time. also, you can give SDP which has a bigger amount of plat. in only 50 ml. this is my idea!
