12 March 2026 (Thursday) - BTLP-TACT

Well I’ve made a few mistakes with the BTLP-TACT recently, so let’s try again…

It presented me with two cases:

 

22286 – a ninety-six year-old chap with bleeding varices needing four units of FFP. He grouped s A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen.

However FFP is NOT recommended for bleeding varices so I didn’t issue any.

 

 

26881 – a fifty-one year-old chap in ITU needing two units of blood. He also grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen.

I issued two units of A Rh(D) Positive blood

 

I got the thumbs-up. Bearing in mind I’ve had the thumbs-down for three of the last four I saw that as something of a result.
