30 October 2021 (Saturday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

Time for another BTLP-TACT exercise…

I was presented with two cases 

62764 – a sixty-five year old chap in out-patients requiring Group & Save

He grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen

92623 – a forty-year old chap in the haematology clinic requiring two units of irradiated blood

He grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with antibody screen positive in cell 1

I requested antibody panels

The IAT and enzyme panels were positive in cell 1 and negative in all other cells which corresponded with anti-Cw

As no units were labelled as Cw negative I selected C negative blood expecting to get a red light…

 I got the green light about which I was rather pleased…
