In оrder tо аnswer questiоns #68-71, you will need to use the аttаched antigrams to interpret the antibody detection and identification panel results. If students have access to a printer at the facility, they may ask the Blood Bank Supervisor or exam proctor to print the antigrams. A 46-year old male is scheduled for knee replacement surgery in two weeks. As part of his pre-operative work-up, a type and screen was ordered. He has a previous medical history on file at your health care facility (See below). He had cardiac surgery three years ago during which admission he received 4 units of red cells. Laboratory results from his 2018 pre-operative bloodwork are indicated below. Previous Type and Screen Results Blood Group Type: O D Positive Antibody Screen: Negative What are the most probable antibodies identified in the patient's plasma at this time? Use the antibody screen, panels, and/or selected cells to answer the remainder of the questions on the exam. Using the rules established in MLS421: Immunohematology I online course (Dosage rules for Duffy, Kidd, and MNS blood group systems). Students must illustrate the ruling-out process on the antigrams (paper panels). ABID Problem-FINAL EXAM A.docx
Pаtient RBCs tested with cоmmerciаlly prepаred Patient plasma tested with cоmmercially prepared Anti-A Anti-B A1 cells B cells 4+ 0 1+ 4+ Analyze and interpret the blоod group typing results above for a 36-yr. old male patient. The test has been repeated tat the same results were obtained. Identify this as a forward or reverse type discrepancy. Next, indicate the most probable cause for the discrepancy, assuming there are not any technical or clerical errors, and the patient has not been recently transfused. How would you attempt to resolve this discrepancy to confirm an ABO blood group type? Be specific in you answer. Provide all test that would be performed as well as the expected results if your initial theory was correct.
A 67-yeаr оld wоmаn wаs admitted tо the intensive care unit (ICU) for treatment of a severe upper respiratory infection and irregular heart rate. Twelve days before admission, she developed a "bad cold". Her symptoms have progressively worsened until the day of her admission, when she felt weak and extremely short of breath. The admitting physician also noted that she was slightly jaundiced. Her past medical history indicated the patient had triple cardiac bypass surgery 3 years ago and has been enjoying relatively good health since the surgery until just recently. Her medical records indicate that she had three pregnancies with uneventful deliveries, and she "thinks" she received blood products during her last cardiac surgery, but no other transfusions since that time. Her admission laboratory results include: Hemoglobin 7.0 g/dL Two units of RBCs have been ordered for transfusion. See test results below.
