Following yet another email about low
engagement I thought I’d better do a BTLP TACt exercise. I had two cases
63469 – A thirty-five year-old woman in
maternity requiring group & save. She grouped as B Rh(D) Positive with an
antibody screen positive in cells 1 & 3.
I performed an antibody panel. The
enzyme panel was negative in all cells. The IAT panel was positive in cells 1,
3, 6, 9 and 10 which corresponded with anti-Fy(a) but didn’t rule out anti-Lu(a)
51926 – a fifty-three year-old chap on
the cardiac unit also requiring group & save/ He grouped as O with an
uninterpretable D group and a negative antibody screen.
I got the thumbs down – the positive
control in the group made the entire group uninterpretable. I made this mistake
in July, didn’t I?
