clai01 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I would like to know the current practices in the Blood Bank community on Cord Blood Testing. In my healthcare system, we perform ABO/Rh and DAT on all cord blood. What does the rest of the industry do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We test the ABO/Rh and DAT on cords of all Rh-neg and O pos moms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachers1030 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We perform cord blood/DAT on Rh negative moms and O pos mom. If the DAT testing is positive, we call the results and only perform HDN testing if the doctor is requesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
