Guest navysbb Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Is this a current practice in facilities in the US. I know this practice is being performed in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Saikin Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 This is not SOP as far as I know . . . decades ago we used to type prenatals for "c", but this is no longer routine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conwaysbb Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 We are at a large facility and we are not doing this either.This is not required in the United States. There are some facilities like my own that preform this for sickle cell patients. My understanding of this in Europe is that anti Kell is a very commonly formed antibody.

John C. Staley Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 While anti: E and anti: K are the 2 most common antibodies we find at my facility we do no preemptive antigen screening of units for women of child bearing age. They are treated no different than any other patients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
