rosi0017 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 In reviewing our emergency release policy we are required to obtain a post-transfusion sample after giving non-group specific blood and group specific blood may not be issued until an antiglobulin crossmatch can be shown to be compatible due to passive transfer of anti-A, anti-B, or anti-A,B from the O blood or the A plasma in our MTP protocol. Is anyone else doing this? Is there a standard I am not finding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ★ Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 In the UK, the Guidelines say to swap to the patient's own blood group as soon as it is definitely ascertained, with no testing, whatever they have been given; it works.

David Saikin Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Have never had to do that (from 24 bed to 700+ hospitals) John C. Staley, Malcolm Needs, Dansket and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ward_X Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Seems unusual. I've only seen crossmatching the segments of the units that the pt ended up taking from the emergency release. Once our T/S is done we start sending type specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
