1 HEADACHES AFTER Bone Marrow Transplant This is the first slide Peter Russell, Supervising Scientist, Transfusion Haematology, Queensland Pathology Central RBWH, Herston Rd, HERSTON, QLD. 4029, Australia. Investigate preliminary testing for BMT patients Decipher result for problem patients The ABO Rh and antibody status of patient and donor is determined. The patient and donor are CMV tested. The first problem with BMT patients is determining product support. With a major ABO mismatch, the anti A/B titres are performed on the recipient. Recipient with a high anti A/B titre. Patient plasmapheresis performed using the appropriate ABO plasma. All BMT patients receive Irradiated product from the transplant date A protocol is prepared for the patients treatment and circulated to all departments involved Computer is adjusted to ensure the right products are supplied.

19 Q. what is the most important process when performing blood bank testing? A. record the results you get not what might fit or imagine weak reactions. Q. What are the essential data when interpreting unexpected transfusion results A. patient clinical history historical results Q. Results that are not expected, what is the first question to be asked? A. Has there been an error? Errors are more common than exotic blood group Q. In interpreting transfusion results do you rely on the test results only? A. NO! as these can be distorted by clinical conditions and patient treatment. Q. Do complex transfusion problems only happen in large laboratories between 9-5pm on working days? A. No they can occur at any time of the day or night in large, medium and small sized laboratories. THE END 9
