Winter Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Although all ABO groups are acceptable for cryo infusion, does anyone have a policy that states a maximum amount of ABO incompatible product that may be infused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townsend Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 As a children's hospital, we give any ABO type (of any volume) to patients over 4 months of age. Neonates under 4 months get ABO plasma-compatible cryo.This is in-line with the AABB Technical Manual, 17th ed. (pg 657) - "Although cryoprecipitate transfusions in adults are not required to be ABO compatible with the recipient, these components should be ABO compatible with neonatal recipients because of their smaller blood volumes."The current Circular of Information, however, states that "ABO compatible material is preferred".Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
