[Rhogam titers]

We do not.  I have played in the past with it when a doc asked.  Used tube method. Titer was <1.

Our hospital performs immediate spin if RhIG is in recent history.

[RhD incompatible PLT transfusions]

I am at the mercy of the blood supplier for plts.  Usually all they have are A+ with an occasional O+.  I can get Rh= products if I know in advance and request them (usually).  All the products I get are apheresis derived - we do not consider giving RhIg to Rh= recipients (maybe if they were randoms and bloody).  We are unconcerned with the K typing of the donor.

My exact answer also.

[Combine or not?]

Thank you all for replying.  Just a little background:  We began with nurse pooling at bedside, but the nursing staff ended up complaining about it.  After going round and round with nursing leadership (I am sure you all know how much fun that is?), I decided to go with pooling before issue and adjusting expiration date as needed.  Nursing leaders cited high attrition among their staff, etc.   I am just glad they will stop calling my techs and asking "what do I do with this?"

[Combine or not?]

Hello

Wondering what other hospital transfusion services do with double pack apheresis platelets.  Do they combine before sending or does nursing combine at the bedside?

Thanks
