    Being unable to rule out an antibody

    mcmillan replied to jojo808's topic in Immunohematology Reference Laboratories
    Did you antigen type the patient 5 years ago for C and K? We would give e, C and K negative units if they are antigen negative regardless antibody screen results now.

    Collection bags for Therapeutic Phlebotomy and Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution

    mcmillan replied to SBriggs's topic in Transfusion Services
    The only solution we have found that seems to save us money, is using the CPDA 1 bags for therapeutic phlebotomy. If the foil package is opened to remove a bag, as long as you fold the open ends closed, the expiration is 60 days. 12 bags come in a foil packaged, but we also have to order by the case.

    transfusion reactions, increase in temperature from 98.6F

    mcmillan posted a topic in Transfusion Services
    We were recently inspected by JCAHO. In the policy manual we have stated must workup a transfusion reaction if patients temp increases 2 degrees from 98.6F or 1 degree from 37C. What if patients pre transfusion temp is elevated before transfusion begins? Is a transfusion reaction workup recommended (2 degree increase) from the "starting" temp or is it always 98.6F? I emailed AABB to clarify, never received a response. I would like to know what others are doing. Thanks for any help!!!
