1 November 2018 (Thursday) - Yet More Failure

Fuelled with resentment at having failed the BTLP exercise I did another…

The first case had an indeterminate ABO group. I performed an antibody screen to rule out an anti-M or anti-P1 or something like that. It didn’t rule out anything so “I said what I saw” and got that right.

The second case was a female requiring four units of blood as a “just in case” for surgery. She grouped as A Pos with negative antibody screen and I selected the four freshest (as unlikely to be used) K Neg A Pos units. This was wrong because "The issued component does not meet specific requirements for this patient"

I wish I knew why it didn’t…
