7. ABID & problem resolution Flashcards
Antigens represented on screening cells
D, C, E, e, c
M, N, S, s

Lu a/b
K, k
Fy a/b
Jk a/b
advantages of ABS (3)
advance warning of XM problems
time to find compatible blood before critical point
clarify problems in ABO/Rh testing
limitations of ABS (3)
only 2-3 cells
some antigens not homozygous
some antigens not represented at all
ABS+ may indicate… (3)
alloAb
autoAb
anomaly
used to rule out autoAb
autocontrol
DAT
Autocontrol + at IS (2)
cold autoAb
rouleaux
Autocontrol + at AHG (2)
warm autoAb
trxn
examples of anomalies (5)
rouleaux
fibrin
wharton’s jelly
imperfections in surface of tube
Ab to test component (PEG, gel, dye)
when is DAT performed? (4)
after trxn
after HDFN
after ABS+
Dr orders
what happens after ABS+? (2)
ABID panel
DAT
very first procedures after getting ABS+ (2)
call floor to let them know there will be a delay
obtain pt hx (transfusion, dx, medications, pregnancy hx, age)
ABID STEPS (7)
- rule-outs
- decide possibles
- decide probables
- use Fisher’s exact test to confirm probables
- eliminate other possibles
- perform Ag typing on pt cells
- XM units negative for clinically significant Ab
factors used to determine probables (4)
- pattern of reactivity
- phase/temp
- dosage
- enzyme treatment

SsU
probables must have ——– to ensure results are not due to chance
p-value ≤ 0.05
Fisher’s exact test
3 positives
3 negatives
how to select cells to eliminate possibles
negative for probables
homozygous for possible
OR 3 heterozygous for possible
never ruled out heterozygously
