:boogie::boogie::boogie:We do the baby's cord first. If Rh neg, weak D neg, we put a comment on the chart that the baby is Rh neg and mom does not need Rhogam. If baby is Rh pos, we have the floor order a "post partum Rhogam workup" which includes Type and Rh, Antibody Screen, Fetal Screen, and the Rhogam unit. If the Fetal Screen is positive, we order a KB, which Blood Bank does not Heme. We then give out the correct number of Rhogam units based on the fetal / maternal cell ratio.

We here in the Blood Bank determine the number of doses of Rhogam to give. We also do a KB during pregnancy for any trauma to the mom. Prenatal doses are almost always given in the office, after we have done the Type and Screen here.

We do KB in Blood Bank. We also order the RhIG in BB & issue it from there after doing the Fetal Screen or KB.
