Informed Consent


Recommended Posts

Our Blood Bank dispenses albumin and RhIG which we call derivatives. The blood consent states lumps blood and blood derivatives together as either the patient accepts or refuses. I think if these products were dispensed from the pharmacy, I'm not sure a consent would be required. 

Pharmacy used to have albumin but gave it to us probably 30 years ago, long before computers and barcode scanners. I would love to give it back to pharmacy but it is not in the stars.

We have a transfusion consent for just the Blood components.  We do not require one for RHIG from Blood Bank, but Labor and Delivery has a fairly comprehensive form for what a pt will or will not accept.  We don't see that form usually.

Pharmacy has the rest of the derivatives - I don't know what they require.

  We require a Blood Refusal for RhoGam if the patient needs it and won't receive the RhoGam. Our refusal includes a lot of the derivatives because of the big Jehovah Witness population. The refusal includes RhoGam. This way we are covered if they come back pregnant again and have developed Anti-D.
