Q3: is serology in transfusion really necessary in 2017? Carole Green argued in the plenary session earlier YES! #bbts2017
Extended matching of donors just not feasible in scales required #bbts2017
Antibodies still need to be identified for risk of HDFN #bbts2017
Transfusionists always sceptical of new technology! But also takes time (&money ) to implement #bbts2017
Q4: Is it acceptable for air ambulances to carry O pos because it only gets used in extreme circumstances? #bbts2017
Many air ambulances (&road ambulances) carry O neg - region dependent #bbts2017
Rarely need to give >2 units at the roadside so 2 O neg & 2 O pos could be the answer #bbts2017
Lots of O neg in satellite fridges is never used, so are air ambulances a more deserving cause? #bbts2017
