21 march 2023 (Tuesday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise


I did a BTLP-TACT exercise last night…
 
79723 – a fifty six year old woman in theatre requiring six units of blood tomorrow for aortic aneurysm repair.
 
She grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with antibody screen positive in cells 1 and 3. I requested antibody panels.
 
The IAT panel was positive in cells 1, 3, 6, 9 and 10 and negative in all other cells, and the enzyme panel was negative in all cells. In reality this corresponds with anti-Fy(a) but not excluding anti-Cw. In this scenario the lack of reaction by enzyme excludes anti Cw.
 
I selected six units of O Pos Fy(a) neg K neg – five non irradiated, one irradiated
 
 
01278 -  a twenty nine year old woman in out patients with ITP requiring group & save
 
She grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a positive antibody screen in cell 2. I requested antibody panels.
 
The IAT panel was positive in cells 3 and 5 and negative in all others as was the enzyme panel, corresponding with anti-E
 
I got the green light… That was hard work…
