27 May 2026 (Wednesday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

I’ve got half an hour before I need to go to the late shift…

I was presented with two cases:

 

37192 – a twenty-one year-old woman in maternity needing group and save

Her ABO group was indeterminate, but she was Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen

 

46614 – a ninety-six year-ol d chap needing four untits of FFP for bleeding varices.

He grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with antibody screen positive on cells 1 & 3. I performed antibody panels.

The enzyme panel was negative throughout. The IAT panel was positive in cells 1, 3, 6, 9 and 10 corresponding with anti-Fy(a)

 

FFP is NOT recommended for bleeding varices https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33969607/ so I didn’t issue any

 

I got the green light…
