Positive Autocontrol in gel, negative DAT
amym1586 replied to CMCDCHI's topic in Transfusion Services
If the DAT is positive, we perform poly in tubes. If the poly is Positive we'll perform the IgG. -
Positive Autocontrol in gel, negative DAT

We only have the IgG cards and we don't do eluates. Makes you feel kinda stuck. -
Our respiratory department is currently running some tests for our cath lab because they kept failing their surveys. ( I'm the technical consultant for cath lab) I don't know who watches over respiratory for that stuff.

A great compliment ! I can't hide that I'm also very excited. I have so many questions. I just hope she's nice.
-
Just got assigned with an assessment team! So nervous!
-
I love the member map!
-
YES! Glad to know we weren't the only ones!
-
In my eyes it's 10 miles away. Just bring them here!

I'm currently working on corrective action for a missed ACT API survey. Does API normally send any sort of information with a failed PT as in, is a formal response required, when they recommend to cease testing, etc.? They scored 100% on both previous surveys for the year.

I do remember hearing a lot about Pweb from my previous hospital POCC.

There is a small hospital about 10 miles away that is wanting to do away with their blood bank. They want to send their samples to us, we perform the work and then send blood products back to them. Does anyone do anything similar to this? My boss and pathologist don't want to touch this. I don't either. My boss wants me to find a good reason to say no.

Great! Good to know I'll have a place to come for advice.

When I took my BB sup job I was also offered to work with out Cath Lab and CVOR as a technical consultant. I have reviewing there QC and maintenance logs, surveys, competency and all that good stuff. Is this basically the same job of a point of care person?
-
I don't know any other way other than using BB armbands for patients who need or may need blood products. Ours are currently not barcoded but manually checked. We do put them on pre-admits, we are not doing extended pre admits. So they aren't wearing them around prior to surgery for very long. If they are an In-patient and the arm band needs to be cut they must call the blood bank. We will cut it off and reattach it with a special band to reattach the original info. If they are out-patient and cut if off, we are starting over.

yeah, I've got another patient we syringe with but he's got a normal crit. I'll try the high crit guy with the syringes next time he comes in. Luckily I've been working out.
-
What do you think... I've got a polycythemia TP patient that comes in crit over 50. He comes so slow with the 18 and 19 Gauge needles hooked to the bag he clots off before half way through the procedure. He won't let you stick him more than once. Would I have any better luck getting him with a smaller needle and pulling some big syringes. He has monster good veins. But he jumps out of the chair with those big needles.
-
My boss is telling me that I can't charge for a reference lab fee. I can't charge for anything that we both did. If I perfomed a Type and screen and a DAT and so did the ref lab I can't charge for that. He said it's basically a loss.
-
How do you charge for sending a sample out to a reference lab?
-
At what age do you start giving type specific red cells? We have a 1 year old (12 months exactly) in house.

Dang!
