| Popis: | One of the main goals of the Hospital Transfusion Board is the prevention of injury from blood transfusion therapy. To fulfill this mission, a delegated, coordinated procedure system for the investigation and management of blood transfusion reactions (BTR) has been evolved. This includes the logical implementation of the cross-check principle in the patient at the operational level of the hospital ward and at the laboratory bench. The pathologist is provided with a hospital-wide detection and salvage system which will: (1) detect at the earliest possible moment the existence of a BTR (including Incompatible Hemolytic Blood Transfusion Disease (IHBTD)); (2) detect a probably coexistent consumption coagulopathy; (3) mobilize swiftly lifesaving therapy in diagnosed cases of IHBTD; and (4) develop a record of the events as data are recorded on the Blood Transfusion Reaction Report.
