26 October 2026 (Monday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

It’s pouring hard outside, I’ve done the ironing… time for a BTLP-TACT exercise.
I had one case – a forty-three year-old woman in the haematology clinic needing group and save and two units of cryo for a Factor VIII deficiency.
 
The control well was positive so the entire blood group was uninterpretable.
The antibody screen was negative
According to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4627369 Cryo is not recommended for Factor VIII deficiency  so I didn’t issue any
 
I fully expected to get the thumbs-down on this one, but I got it right.
