12 May 2025 (Monday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

Is it really a week since I last had a go at the BTLP-TACT thingy?  It gave me two cases:

 

50265 – a thirty year old woman in the haematology clinic needing four units of FFP for a Factor V deficiency.

Great Ormond Street say they use FFP to treat Factor V deficiency, so if it is good enough for them, it is good enough for me.

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

I issued four units of A FFP

11250 – an eighty-nine year old chap in the out patients requiring group and save

He too grouped as A Rh(D) Positive but with an antibody screen positive in cells 2 & 3. I requested antibody panels.

The IAT and enzyme panels were positive in cells 1, 3, 4 6 and 7 corresponding with anti-Jk(a)

 

I got it all right.
