How many of you repeat all testing on Rh negative mothers after delivery. along with the fetal screen.

Type, screen, ABID (including completely ruling out all clinically significant AB's).

  We do not test again after delivery. We only do the Fetal screen testing unless the mother delivered without testing being completed.

only perform the fetal screen on a post delivery specimen

If the patient had a pre-delivery Type & Screen performed then we only do the fetal screen post delivery.

No need for absc on post delivery RhIg orders.  I only did the fetal screen and a repeat ABORh just to verify patient.

T&S on every delivery patient ... so, there's our Rh confirmation of the 'woman in the bed'.

Post-Delivery = Fetal Cell evaluation (currently K-B Stain, that may change).  Period.

n.b. Unless we can prove mom is producing Anti-D, MD wants the Rh-Ig anyway, no matter what.  In fact, we've had an MD want it given even when we CAN prove she's making her own Anti-D.  #MDsalwaysgetwhattheywantevenifitdefieslogic

Evidence based medicine...what's that???!!! Stuff like that makes you wonder about what else they don't get.

We do not repeat the Type or Screen post delivery when it has been done on this admission.  We do perform the Fetal Screen (Immucor FMH RapidScreen/KB if indicated).
