4 August 2026 (Tuesday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

Time for a BTLP-TACT exercise. I had two cases:
 
15626 – a fifty-six year-old chap needing two units of cryo to treat Factor VIII deficiency.
He grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen.
According to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4627369 Cryo is not recommended for Factor VIII deficiency  so I didn’t issue any
 
73726 – a seventy-eight year old chap needing four units of FFP for a pre-operative reversal of warfarin.
He grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with anegative antibody screen.
According to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9362864/ FFP is not the treatment of choice for the reversal of warfarin pre-operatively so I didn’t issue any.
 
I got it right.
