kimblain Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 What are the thresholds you use for TAT on stat ABSC and Cord Blood testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalomahe Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Stat ABSC completed <60 mins from specimen receipt in the LIS system. We do not have TAT defined for Cord Blood Testing other than the neonatologists want results within 10 hours of time of birth.

David Saikin Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 TS: an hour from receipt in the lab Cord Type & Coombs: an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbaker Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 A true trauma stat (not a drama trauma) is 60 minutes for ABSC and 35 minutes for ABO, from receipt in lab. All other stats are 65 minutes for both. We batch our cord bloods and do them every 4 hours. The nursery has it in their brain that it must be completed by then in order to treat the baby accordingly. Of course, when they don't send it down for 3 hours and miss our run time, they get mad at us. jalomahe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 For true traumas - 1 hour from receipt in laboratory. Cord bloods are batched and run at least once per shift except for night shift who are exempt from doing cords. I only require them to be done once on day shift and evening shift, but a lot of time they are performed 2 or 3 times depending on the number of specimens.
