It's a busy Friday evening in the blood bank and you have been receiving a steady stream of type
and screen specimens from the emergency room. Several of them have positive antibodies screens
which require further workup. One fo these patients is a 46 y/o male whose hemoglobin has
dropped from 8.4 g/dl to 4.6 g/dl in the previous 8 hours (normal HgB for this patient demographic
would be ~14 g/dl). Your work up reveals a group O patient with the following antibodies: anti-K,
anti-Fya. The prevalence of K negative in your donor population is 91% while the prevalence of Fya
negative donors is 37%. Two units of cross-matched RBCs are requested by the physician. How
many units of group O RBC units should you phenotype in order to fulfill the request for two cross-
matched units?
A) 2 units of type O RBC units
B) 3 units of type O RBC units
C) 6 units of type O RBC units
D) 12 units of type O RBC units
Ξ -:- C) 6 units of type O RBC units
A ficin (enzyme) treated panel can be a useful tool for determining the identify of an antibody. On a
