Makita123 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 How are you determining the ISBT "E" codes for combining RBC and Plasma to make Reconstituted RBC? Also, are you only using O RBC and AB Plasma? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adiescast Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 We use only O red cells and AB plasma. Your E code choice will be dependent on the anticoagulant in your red cell base,whether the red cells are irradiated, leukoreduced, or both, whether they are obtained by apheresis, whether you remove any supernatent before you add the plasma (we do), whether the system is open or closed, etc. If you call up the database provided on the ICCBBA website and do a find looking for "plasma added" in a ny part of the field, you can peruse the choices and pick the one that is right for your application.
