armymt2002 got a reaction from ESIZENSKY in Weight = volume of Packed Red Cells = Our Problem
We also weigh the bags as we do the confirmation testing. The form the military uses requires that the volume infused be put on there in the post transfusion data section. Most of the time it is wrong as the nurses don't pay attention to the volume written on the form and use the volume from the pump which includes the saline to prime the line or the put 1 unit there.
