Someone posted "Question
for my blood bankers....What is your protocol for massive transfusions? Do you
feel like it is abused by physicians? I feel like 80% of our blood alerts(that
is what they are called) are false. For example 1 recent blood alert they took
3 rounds. Each round gets a cooler of 6 rbcs, a cooler of 4 ffp and 1 platelet.
A cryo is given every other round. The pt was given 2 rbcs and everything else
was returned. It can be so frustrating."
It was interesting reading the subsequent discussion. No two
people seem to do the same thing…
