ABSTRACT
Objective To provide an optimal working process for crossmatching by full-automatic blood typing instrument.Methods Two workflows were applied to crossmatch test by full-automatic blood typing instrument.One was diluting red blood cells of donor samples to concentrate of 1%,the other was detecting directly the donor′s packed red blood cells.Compared consistency and processing time of the two different workflows.Results Cross match results of two workflows were consistent well(U=0,P>0.05).The average processing times before testing and undergoing testing were not significantly different(t=0.692,t=0.562,P>0.05),whereas the average processing times after testing and throughout testing were significantly different(t=146.485,t=67.053,P<0.05).Conclusion The workflow of diluting donor′s sample before testing saved processing time and better suits hospital having a large quantity of specimens.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the influence of blood transfusion or pregnancy on blood cross-matching results.Methods 1 000 specimens with blood transfusion or pregnancy history were collected and performed the blood group typing,blood cross matching,irregular antibody screening and identification by the micro-gel method with the specimens of first time transfuse blood and without pregnancy history as the control.The inconsistency rate of positive negative blood grouping,unqualified rate of blood cross matching and the positive rate of irregular antibody were compared between the two groups by the t-test.The causes influen-cing the blood cross-matching results were analyzed.Results The inconsistency rate of blood cross-matching in the blood transfu-sion or pregnancy group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P 0.05);the positive rate of irregular antibody screening in the blood transfu-sion or pregnancy group was also significantly higher than that in the control group(P <0.05),indicating that the main causes in-fluencing blood cross matching was the existence of irregular antibodies in the patients in vivo.Conclusion Blood transfusion or pregnancy may stimulate the body to produce the irregular antibodies.Therefore the irregular antibody screening should be per-formed before blood transfusion and blood without corresponding antigen will be selected for transfusion according to the antibody identification results for ensuring safe and effective blood transfusion.
