Finding
myself at something of a loose end I thought I might do another BTLP-TACT exercise.
I like to do two a month, so this might get me ahead of the game.
I
was presented with one case – an eighty-nine year-old chap requiring group
& save.
His
cell group was AB Rh(D) Negative, but there was reaction with the A cells. The blood
group was therefore indeterminate but Rh(D) Negative.
Was
there an anti-M or an anti-P1 or something of that ilk here?
The antibody screen was negative.
Back
in reality I would have performed cold antibody panels to see what was causing
that reaction with the A cells, but doing so in the simulator would probably confuse the software
and give me the thumbs-down.
Would
it?
I
didn’t like to take the risk so I did that which I would NOT do in reality and
just walked away leaving an indeterminate blood group. This gave me the green
light which I wanted… but was just another example of where this BTLP-TACT
simulator really is still just a work in progress.
