Did a cranial remodeling the other day on some poor guy that had a cranial decompression a few months earlier.
Sent a type and cross in holding and went off to the OR
.....After some hemmorage I wanted to transfuse, called the blood bank who stated the patient had some antibodies and they needed a new specimen and another hour.
what would you all do assuming you could not wait. I would suspect we should just give type specific and see how it goes? Watch the BP, urine, and temp. Any idea the risk involved here
thanks again
