Old phenotyped blood versus fresh non phenotyped blood
Amra23 posted a topic in Transfusion Services
Emergency case of a cardiac malformation on a new born baby with 0+ ccDEEK- DAT=neg, mother 0+ CcDEeK- . 0+ ccDEEK- fresh blood not available.Only 10 days old blood with this phenotype. Which is the best option for transfusion for this baby (it will be needed for the cardiac extracorporeal circulation),10 days old blood with his phenotype or fresh blood (within 5 days) with a slightly different phenotype?If the second option is the one,which phenotype would be best in this case? This kind of patients tend to receive multiple transfusions after surgery.
