27 December 2024 (Friday) - BTLP Exercise

Time for another BTLP-TACT exercise. I’ve not done one for a while and I’ve been getting emails telling me off.
 
It presented me with two cases:
 
10378 - a fifty-two year-old chap having a cholecystectomy needing a group and save
 
He grouped as A Rh(D) Positive. Weakly positive, but positive nonetheless. But for the purposes of this I called the RH group indeterminate and said it should be sent to NHSBT.
The antibody screen was positive in cells 1 and 2 so I requested antibody panels.
The IAT panels were positive in cells 1, 2 and three corresponding with anti-D but not excluding anti Cw.
 
 
73876 – a thirty year old needing 4 FFP and 2 cryo for a liver transplant.
 
He grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen…
Should I issue plasma products? I did. I was right to do so.
