Introduction. Screening and identification of anti-erythrocyte alloimmune antibodies in recipients is an important and necessary step in their testing before blood transfusion.Aim. To formulate algorithms that could facilitate the process of pre-transfusion immunohematological testing.General findings. Such a testing allows the development of post-transfusion reactions and complications to be avoided. The presence of alloantibodies of various specificities and autoantibodies in the test blood may complicate pre-transfusion testing and require the use of additional methods (adsorption, elution, etc.). The author has proposed an effective system of algorithms for conducting immunohematological studies, which can be used to identify patients at risk of developing immune post-transfusion complications and ensure an individual selection of compatible donor blood-transfusion products.
Poor checks for bedside blood transfusion put patients at risk
