Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yes, I see- thanks! And how would you handle the 10% or so DAT positive cord samples due to antenatel prophylaxis? I presume you are going on clinical signs.Absolutely (that and BCSH Guidelines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Here in our facility, we do the ABO/Rh and a DAT on all cords. If the mother has a significant antibody and the baby has a positive DAT then an eluate is performed, written into our policy, the doctor does not even have a say in the matter.

Most obstetricians/neonatologists wouldn't know when an eluate is required (mind you, why should they? It's not their speciality.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
