We do not accept a unit back if it was spiked. I encourage the RN to try to complete the transfusion within 4 hours of entry or discard the unit. I will update the BB records if unit was not transfused and discarded in the patient care area.

DAWNA1983 reacted to SMILLER in Plasma transfusion and ABO historyWe require that the blood bank armband number on the unit tag matches the armband on the patient. Therefor, the patient has to be a current admission (with a current ABO/Rh typing) in order to get plasma.
I am not sure that regulators would be real keen on giving plasma to a patient whose ABO/Rh has not been currently verified by testing. At our facility, over the years, we have had a few cases of patients using thier friends or relatives insurance ID card in order to get medical care. They were admitted as another person. Relying on historical data from a previous admission to give plasma in one of these cases would be asking for trouble!
