Kathyang Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 We are having a debate what should go on the Transfusion Slip that goes with the unit for a newborn up to 4 months. I would like anyone that gives blood to a baby to let me know if possible. Under the Crossmatch area on your slip, what does it say? Most places I know say "Not Required". The one hospital in the system wants to keep the Not Required. Another one wants to put in "Compatible test: Maternal". The whole system has to do the same thing.

R1R2 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is the other hospital performing a crossmatch with maternal specimen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOBB Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think it depends on your process. If the hospital is performing a non-crossmatch setup, then not required is appropriate. Our pediatric hospital usually performs electronic crossmatches on neonates-the expiration date corresponds to the date the neonate is 4 months old.

kate murphy Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 We result Not Required, unless we actually XM with Mom. Then we result Comp with Maternal Specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
