Finding
myself being chivvied to do another BTLP-TACT exercise I thought I’d better get
on with it… even though it is less than two weeks since I last did one.
I was
presented with two cases:
76046 – a thirty-two year old woman in the maternity unit requiring a
group and save
She grouped
as B Rh(D) Positive with a positive antibody screen in cells 2 and 3.
Bearing in
mind the problems I’ve had before I immediately copied the antigram into PaintShop
Pro before requesting antibody panels.
It was as
well that I did – it was this that allowed me to exclude the anti-Cw that could
not be excluded from the panels.
The enzyme
and IAT panels was positive in cells 1 3 4 6 7 which looked like anti Jk(a)
88523 – a fifty-six year old woman in the gynaecology unit also
requiring group and save
She grouped
as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen
You can’t imagine the sense of relief to get a green light…. Copying the screen antigram is certainly the way forward…
