    We do pre, 15 min, and post vitals on everyone. For outpatients, it depends on if they're a recurring patient or new. Patients who haven't received transfusions before, they'll keep a little longer and go over what to look out for in more detail with them. Our cancer patients who have transfusions weekly, they'll let them go right away because they know what to look for and how they react to transfusions already.

    I would probably recommend AHG compatible or least incompatible units. There is the risk of them developing the anti-E, but also e negative blood is hard to come by and I'd rather save it for people with a true anti-e.

    I've been having this issue with some people as well. One of my questions on the competency states "according to our policies and procedures," and somebody got it wrong because they didn't pull out the procedure. I felt that was a pretty big hint in the question. I've had some who want hand-holding and I can't write a procedure for every possibility that could happen; I'd fill a bookstore if I had to write that many. They just want to cookbook it like they can in other departments and I'm trying to get them to realize that some things you just have to think through and if you're not sure to call me.

    Is this happening throughout the day or just after new indicator cells are put on? If they're cold, it could cause them to agglutinate. Have you seen if it's a problem with the strips? If the monolayer wasn't put on the strips correctly that could cause the problem with the control well. Is it happening with QC or just patients?

    Hello everyone, I'm actually the student who is doing this survey. Thank you for posting it to this site. The survey is now closed and I got a total of 248 responses! I'm hoping to end up with a paper that can be published, but no matter what I will try to share the findings somehow, so that everyone who took the time to respond can see them.
