Thursday 7 November 2024 (Thursday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

Whenever I sit down to write up some CPD I always feel obliged to end it with a BTLP-TACT session. And so here we go.
 
I was presented with two cases:
 

27841 – a fifty-four year old woman in outpatients with ITP requiring group & save.

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

 

99755 – a forty-four year old chap under the medics requiring group & save, FFP (4) and cryo (2) for liver transplant.

He grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen.

I selected four units of A FFP and two units of A cryo as they *are* indicated

 
I got the thumbs up. Which is just as well. I get wound up when I get the thumbs down. Not because I got it wrong. I get wound up because it is a wasted learning opportunity. Being told “you got it wrong for the following reasons” and having a discussion on the matter is useful. That’s how we learn.
Just being told “you stuffed it up” helps no one.
