13 September 2023 (Wednesday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

With a few minutes spare I thought I might as well do some BTLP-TACT; after all it is nearly a week since they last sent me one of those emails telling me I’m not doing enough exercises…

 

I was presented with two cases:

 

28677 – a forty-nine year old woman requiring group & save for a splenectomy.

She grouped as B Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen

 

33324 – a thirty-three year old woman in out patients requiring group & save for iron deficient anaemia

She grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with antibody screen positive in all three cells.

I performed antibody panels…

The enzyme panel was positive in cells 3 and 5 being consistent with anti-E

The IAT panel was positive in cells 1, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10 being consistent with anti-E and anti-Fy(a) but did not exclude anti Lu(a)

 

I got the green light
