@NourAlmozain @AABB @NHSBT Yes- centralized data bases can be a big advantage for access of data. We have sickle cell disease patients in US that go to several different hospitals and it is always an adventure when they return with the development of new antibodies. #AABBpeptalk

@AABB At our pediatric hospital the red blood cells and plasma dosages are lowered and we aliquot an apheresis platelet depending upon three weight categories. What do you do? #AABBpeptalk

@NourAlmozain @AABB Great thanks for the reply #AABBpeptalk

@MSromoski @AABB It has substantially increased compliance at one facility. The only issue is that when paper or downtime forms are needed, there is less proficiency for scanning and the documents sometimes are lost.#AABBpeptalk

@NourAlmozain @HermelinMD @AABB @SSMHealthSTL @impactlifeblood @GlennonTrauma An article in Transfusion and Aphersis Science https://t.co/xVFE09bsRo showed out of 72 Rh (D) negative patients 17% formed new Rh group antibodies after exposure to Rh (D) positive RBCs. #AABBpeptalk

@AABB Does anyone use an electronic consent and do you find this reduces errors #AABBPepTalk

[Richard Gammon, MD @RichardGammonMD]

@DrRiyamia @AABB Arwa thank you for the reply. Do you handle Jehovah Witness patients the same way with refusal. #AABBPepTalk

[Richard Gammon, MD @RichardGammonMD]

@MSromoski @AABB This is a concern as well with some of the facilities to which I work

[Richard Gammon, MD @RichardGammonMD]
