Collect number and sizes required for patient age. Retained for minimum of 7 days post transfusion. Transportation: Notify transfusion medicine if a STAT sample is being shipped, and the method of transport.
Method: Antibody screen: indirect antiglobulin test. Method and Interpretation of Results: Compatible blood may be delayed or unavailable for patients with a positive antibody screen. Routine Turn Around Time: Stat — performed within 90 minutes for ED patients, or minutes for hospital patients if ordered at a testing site and required for transfusion.
Results may be delayed if antibodies are detected. Testing Schedule: Daily Reference Interval: Antibody screen: negative Critical Value: Positive antibody screens will be phoned in urgent situations or when availability of compatible blood will be delayed. Therese — St. A separate order is required for blood component preparation. Jun 13, posted by kbennett Patient Care. Q: How often should I order a type and screen for my patients?
The Bottom Line: A single type and screen upon admission is sufficient for most patients who are at low risk of bleeding, are not pregnant and have not had a prior positive antibody screen.
A type and cross should only be ordered if there is a high likelihood of transfusion. The collection day is considered day 0.
Indicate transferring hospital. Once an infant is accepted on the neonatal extended expiry, further samples are not required for pretransfusion testing. Blood can be ordered as per regular ordering procedure in EMR. It is the authorisation for blood bank to prepare the blood product and for clinical staff to administer it. Patients over 15 kg can generally have one unit of platelets.
Clinically stable paediatric patients receiving chemotherapy for leukaemia or post haematopoietic stem cell transplantation HSCT. Major haemorrhage due to trauma or significant post-operative bleeding e. Stable patients with chronic, stable, severe thrombocytopenia due to alloimmunisation, ITP, TTP, aplastic anaemia or MDS should be observed without prophylactic platelet transfusions.
These patients should receive platelet transfusions with clinically significant bleeding only. Term or preterm infant with symptomatic thrombocytopenia and minor bleeding, coagulopathy or prior to surgery.

Ordering Blood Products. Pretransfusion testing Correctly identifying the patient during collection of the pretransfusion sample is vital in avoiding 'wrong blood to wrong patient' episodes.
Pretransfusion compatibility testing prior to transfusion involves the following; Blood group and antibody screen: Determines the ABO and Rh D group of the recipient Involves a red cell antibody screen to detect red cell antibodies For patients who have "no red cell antibodies detected", compatible units are selected and issued electronically For patients who have "red cell antibodies detected", further laboratory work is required to identify the specificity of the antibody, to type the patient and donor units in order to provide specific antigen negative blood and to perform a full serological crossmatch.
For patients with multiple antibodies this work can take several hours to complete. Correlating with previous transfusion and blood group records. The patient's current blood group must agree with any previous record of the patients group. Patient's who have previously had clinically significant red cell antibodies detected require antigen negative blood and full serological crossmatching.
The only exceptions to the 72 hour rule are some neonates and infants during the first four months of postnatal life neonatal extended expiry or those patients who have extended expiry crossmatching completed prior to having planned surgery extended expiry Extended expiry Extended expiry allows patients having a planned admission for spinal, craniofacial or cardiac surgery to have a blood group and antibody screen performed and remain valid for 30 days before their planned date of surgery.
The following conditions must be met: No transfusions in the past three months No pregnancy in the past three months.
