31 October 2024 (Thursday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

Being at a loose end I did another BTLP-TACT exercise. It gave me two cases

 

37718 – a sixty-two year old woman in A&E with a CVA needing group & save

She grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with antibody screen positive in cells 1 & 3. I requested antibody panels. The IAT panel was positive in cells 1, 3, 6, 9 and 10 corresponding with anti-Fy(a) but not ruling out anti-Cw or anti-Lu(a). The enzyme panel was negative which did rule out anti-Cw and anti-Lu(a).

98389 – an eighty-seven year old woman in out-patients also needing group & save.

Her ABO and Rh(D) groups were both indeterminate, and the antibody screen was positive in cell 2. I requested antibody panels. The IAT and enzyme panels were positive in cells 2 and 6 corresponding to anti-K .

 

I got the thumbs-up
