1 November 2026 (Sunday) - BTLP-TACT Exercise

Bearing in mind I’ve had yet another whinging email about how few BTLP-TACT exercises I’ve done (only six last month!!) I thought I might see if I could get ahead of the curve this month.

I was presented with two cases:

 

90063 – a forty-five year-old woman in the haematology clinic with sickle cell disease needing a two unit top up.

She grouped as O Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen. I selected two units of O Rh(D) Positive K-Negative HbS-Negative blood for her.

 

06929 – a fifty-nine year-old chap with PR bleed needing group and save.

He grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen.

 

I got it right, which was a result.
