22 May 2026 (Friday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise


 
At the beginning of the week I was whinging that it was raining. Today it’s rather hot. But the end result is the same. I’d rather not be outside, so I might as well do a BTLP-TACT exercise.
 
I was presented with one case – a thirty-two year-old woman with sickle cell disease needing a two unit top up transfusion.
 
Her ABO group was indeterminate with reactions in everything, but she was clearly Rh(D) Positive.
The antibody screen was negative.
 
I selected two units of HbS-negative O Rh(D) Negative blood. If nothing else that would stuff up the Rh group next time…
 
I got it right…
