Use the information provided in the CASE below along with the attached Ab Screen and ABID panel antigrams to answer questions A-D below. Please answer questions in the order presented, using letters provided to identify corresponding responses. CASE: Brendan Belanger is a 50-year-old male who has been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA). He has been transported to the local ER and must have surgery for a compound fracture in his left leg. The ER physician has ordered 4 units of RBCs to be crossmatched (XM) for surgery. Initial Blood Bank Results Blood Group Type: A D Negative (Verified by repeat testing) Antibody detection (Screen): Positive Exam 2-Antibody Screen.docxExam 2 -ABID Panel.docx QUESTIONS Using guidelines established in this course for ruling-out and Rule of 3 for antibody identification, identify the most likely antibodies in the patient’s plasma. List all other antibodies that cannot be ruled out. Explain the variation in the strength of reactivity observed with different panel cells. Is the antibody considered clinically significant? Support your answer using results for ABID work-up. Based on your antibody identification (ABID), what would the expected RBC phenotype be for the patient? What transfusion recommendation would be indicated in the patient’s medical record to provide suitable RBC for safe transfusions in the future?
