Neonate Transfusions


Recommended Posts

  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.

   Thanks ,

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.
