An interesting case in the Facebook Blood bank
Interest Group:
“We have
a patient 40 years old, O RhD(-)CCee K(-) with alloAbs: anti-c & anti-K,
Hb: 6,6 and sepsis.
We couldn’t find blood
units in his phenotype but we called some donors and one was able to donate.
The blood testing for TTIs will be concluded in about 24 hours but clinicians
need to transfuse now.
Is it a good idea to
give patient ORhD(+)CCeeK(-) compatible unit and prophylactic anti-D
immunoglobulin to avoid another alloab to D antigen until the unit with his
phenotype is ready to release?”
What would I do? The
subsequent discussion said a lot without saying anything.
