085CE: What to do When Everything is Incompatible with Jill Storry
1Description
Your patient needs blood, but EVERYTHING is incompatible! Jill Storry says, “Take it easy. Here’s what to do next.”
Dr. Jill Storry
What’s the Plan?
In this interview, Dr. Jill Storry, an internationally recognized expert in immunohematology, outlines her structure for evaluating panagglutinins. She describes how to use the pattern of reactivity, as well as the autocontrol and direct antiglobulin test (DAT) to make rapid evaluations. Her aim is for you to distinguish between the three main possibilities for panagglutinins (autoantibodies, antibodies against high-frequency antigens, and multiple alloantibodies) as quickly as possible.
You Want Practical? You’re in the Right Place!
This interview is full of practical tips and advice. We want to help you avoid panic and have a good idea of what to do when everything is incompatible. That’s why it is one of my very favorite episodes of Blood Bank Guy Essentials!
