cthherbal Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I am curious what other hospitals do for RhIG. Do you require a separate physician order for the injection itself or just give it out due to the result of a positive Fetalscreen or RhIG testing workup?

Bill Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Seperate order unless the RhIG order says "Give RhIG if indicated." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deny Morlino Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Physicians order a RhIg workup. Blood Bank decides the testing indicated. The result options include "Given", "Refused", and "Not Indicated". When the work is complete blood bank notifies OB of the availability of the RhIg injection.

ejsommers Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Same as Deny above...Docs order the work-up and BB takes it from there. If testing does not show the need for RhIG we footnote the work-up that the "RhIg is not indicated for this patient." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
