tricore Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 How many of your blood banks order the the RHIG (Rh Immune Globulin) workup (fetal screen) after performing testing on the cord blood (ABO/Rh, DAT) and finding that the baby is Rh Pos? Do you then look up the mother and if she is RH negative order the RHIG. Or, is it the responsibility of the physican? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1R2 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 physician responsibility but blood bank pulls a report of baby/mom blood type next day to review and make sure that RHIG was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMcCord Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We do an Rh type on all OBs predelivery, so we know which babies should have cord blood testing performed and then, which mom's are candidates for Rho(D) immune globulin. The physician/nurse is responsible for ordering the workup, but we are the backup to make sure it happens.

kcowan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We order it ourselves after determining baby's blood type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADawson Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Our physicians order the workup on Rh neg moms for the morning after giving birth. We check the infant's blood type to determine the need for the workup and cancel if not necessary. John C. Staley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This documentation helps the nurses know right away whether the mom needs RhIG or not. We credit the patient account for any testing not performed but resulted.
