With
a couple of minutes spare I thought I might do a BTLP-TACT exercise.
I
had two cases:
81327 – a ninety year old
male in the out-patients department requiring two units of blood within two
hours
The
ABO group was A; the Rh group indeterminate. The antibody screen was negative
I
selected two units of A Neg
56046 – a thirty year old
female in the theatre requiring four units of blood tomorrow
This
patient was A Pos with no antibodies detected.
I
selected four units of K-Neg A Pos blood
I
got the red light…
In
the first instance the entire group was supposedly uninterpretable.
In
the second instance “The issued component does not meet specific requirements
for this patient.” – I wonder why not…
I
tried again.
One
patient – a fifty year old male requiring two units within two hours. The labelling
of sample did not match that of the form. I rejected it. Green light !!
