Description
Sickle Cell patients can pose quite a challenge on a transfusion service. Each hospital facility has their own protocol on how to handle these patients and that may vary between different hospitals within the same regional area. This program will look at the most effective way to manage sickle cells patients with testing and transfusion support.
- Assess the indications for transfusion of sickle cell patients.
- Define sickle cell disease and determine what population is affected.
- Review potential adverse outcomes of transfusion in sickle cell patients (e.g. RBC alloimmunization and delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions).
