cmiller Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hello All.I am interested in how other facilities handle Transfusion Reactions on FFP, Platelets or Cryo that were given based on historical ABO. Any info would be appreciated!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcurrie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 We do a post transfusion DAT and look for hemolysis if we transfuse ABO incompatible platelets or cryo. You never know when you are going to have a Super O who makes a potent high-titer anti-A,B. If there is fever, we will culture the bag. If we suspect that we have transfused based on a blood sample from the wrong patient, we will ask for a redraw and retype the patient. We never issue blood components based on an historical blood type. I have been burned by that too many times. BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
