Posted by tfarnon

We just encountered this situation where I work, and it was incredibly crazy-making until we got it all sorted out. The patient had been typed by gel typing maybe two years prior as Rh negative, so that's what was on file in our system. The patient came in to deliver a second baby a couple of weeks ago, and there were other abnormalities found in other sections of the lab, so there was a lot of retesting and even a re-draw and retesting, which made the doctor think we didn't know what we were doing. The abnormalities were "normal" in light of the patient's status, and that was all resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

Then came the routine confirmation of ABO/Rh, and again, the patient tested Rh negative. Okay. The newborn's sample for testing (HDN prophylaxis), and the infant was Rh positive. That triggered the reflex maternal fetal screen test, which came up positive, requiring re-testing of the mother's Rh results, this time with weak D as well as the routine gel test. The weak D test came up positive, so we had to re-test with weak D to confirm, both the prenatal and postnatal sample. The mother was definitely weak D positive, so that's what got reported out, with a reflex to the fetal stain test. The fetal stain test was also positive (barely), so our system indicates that even though RhoGam isn't indicated, we need to make the doctor aware that RhoGam is available. Well, that triggered another round of doctor skepticism. First the other tests were abnormal and had variable results, and now the blood typing had changed? Yeah, that was fun to explain, too.

At least it all got clarified in the end, the doctor decided to give RhoGam anyways (it's the doctor's call, and arguments can be made for both giving and not giving RhoGam here), and the mother's record was annotated to ensure that she only receives Rh negative blood should she require transfusion, even though her record now indicates that she is Rh positive.

It was kind of crazy-making, very interesting, and everyone just loves the "look at this!" huddles. At least everyone in the blood bank loves them. It's just cool to get something unusual, especially if it either doesn't hurt the patient or our findings help the patient.View Thread
