Hey #MedTwitter #MedX please remember to report ***ALL*** suspected transfusion reactions to your hospital transfusion service.
Not only is the the right thing to do; not only are you required to do; not only can it save the life of your patient; NOT doing it can harm others

New F1s currently starting their shadowing and induction ahead of changeover next week. What key transfusion messages do we want to share? I’ll go first.

Friendly reminder (two cases this month):
If a patient is actively bleeding & is hypotensive, we don’t have to (and we should NOT) wait for hemoglobin to fall below 7.0 g/dl
I just saw a patient that received 4 liters of NS but no blood…
I think we have scared people a lot

I thought long and hard about adding to the story…. Should I keep my head down and say nothing? Isn’t that the problem? So no. I won’t do that. There’s obviously a lot of noise about @uhbtrust in the news, and it deserves a response.

Many thanks to all of the staff who have made time to attend training in the new blood fridges over the last few weeks at Queen Elizabeth Hospital @uhbtrust. We went live with the system yesterday meaning there is now better traceability and access to blood components 🥳
Yesterday was a very proud day for us @UHB_Transfusion after too many months of blood (actual usually in unit form), sweat and tears (usually mine ) we went live with bloodtrack at QE... 6 haemobank 80s, 1 haemobank 20 and 6 kiosks on other storage devices all working!

“They just told me I have cancer. It’s everywhere in my body. And you say you’re a kidney doctor? What the hell are you doing here?”
His voice is gruff, and as he looks at me, I feel the weight of his gaze.
For a moment I hesitate, then ask.
“Mind if I sit down?” 1/

Reason #1 why massive transfusions are not always going to fix someone. As well as the deranged physiology, the body also has to cope with this pouring into the circulation at up to 500ml/min. What is the optimum resuscitation fluid?
Whilst we’re on a #medTwitter conundrum- it’s worth resurrecting this blood gas for your consideration!
If you’ve seen before, no spoilers!
What’s going on here?
