[Workup help]

Patient hx anti-E, cold and warm

Initial panel IS all negative; AHG 3+ across the board including auto. DAT = 3+ poly HOWEVER, one cell came up negative which is the R2R2 cell which does not make sense. Prior workup had almost the same result but 2+ and the R2R2 cell was called w+.

Any advise on this?

One thing that could be done is run other R2R2cells? But it still wont make sense as to why one comes up negative while there is a strong warm.

Thanks.

[Frozen cell tracking]

Hello,

I just want to know how each and everyone from the different parts of the world and states handle their frozen rare red cell access.

What i mean is for example when one is doing a workup and needed a cell that was frozen what are your methods of accessing, do you use a database program or the old fashioned index card method like seraching for books in a library.

Thank you and have a great weekedn.

[Which antibodies would you ignore first and last and in between in an emergent transfusion and why?]

Thank you for your input :-)

Another question in relation to this is what if all were reactive w+ to 1+? Do you think ignoring the S first then the little c then the K and last would be the Fya a reasonable one?

Thanks again.

anti-c

[Patient Special Needs]

Hello Fellow Blood Bankers,

Asking on inputs on Patient Special Needs (i.e IRR notes etc.) notes. What measures does your laboratory take so that these notes are not missed on order entry? These may be both for electronic and paper orders.

Thank you!
