Strange Blood Type Discrepancy

Recommended Posts

Well, we require 2 blood types on a new patient; one on automation and the other by tube. That is why we saw a discrepancy.  Apparently it is also recommended to give washed RBCs to these patients.  As to what would occur if you gave AB......not sure.  We just restricted the patient to Group O Washed RBCs at the recommendation of the Reference Lab Medical Director.
