Thank you for your post, I am definitely looking forward to complete a MS program and would like to work on a project worth publishing.

Ha,ha, thanks Dasket

I visited the IBMS website and I think is very similar to the SBB program in the US. Although my institution does not grant me a Master's degree it is considered graduate work-level. Some institution will partner and grant you a Master's degree but that comes at a slightly higher price I am open to any suggestions or ideas at this level. Thank you very much all!

Hello all, I joined this site not too long ago and I wish I had find it sooner. Congratulations to those running the site and all the members for their profesionalism and sharing their experiences. I am a current SBB student in the US. I ran out of ideas for my SBB project and was wondering if anyone could share some ideas. Thank you very much. PS: Happy New Year !

When an unidentified trauma patient is admitted through the ER we do not process that sample until we get a second sample from another location. The two samples are then run in parallel. Until this is done we give O cells and AB plasma. The rationale is that in the "heat" of the moment the ER/Trauma staff is more likely to mislabeled samples or misidentified patients (in the case of multiple trauma). If the patient is admitted through the ER or any other location and has a medical record # and historical blood type then we only need 1 sample but we perform a type and screen and an ABO confirm, meaning two different techs are checking the ABO results, before we XM any units for the patient, this of course if times permits, if they need blood STAT we need Dr. approval to give type specific before we complete the ABO confirm.
