Time for
another BTLP-TACT exercise… I was presented with one case – a ninety-year-old
chap in theatre needing two units of blood for a TURP. Back in the day we did
two units of blood for every TURP… they never used any. Ever.
But I
digress.
He
grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with antibody screen positive in cell 2 so I
requested antibody panels. The IAT and enzyme panels were positive in cells 2
& 6 corresponding with anti-K.
I
selected two units of O Rh(D) Positive K Negative blood
I got the
green light.
