2024 CPIP-E Case 5: Transfusion Medicine – ABO Discrepancy
Webcast
1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ OVERVIEW
2024 CPIP-E Case 5: Transfusion Medicine – ABO Discrepancy is organized by College of American Pathologists (CAP).
Start Date: 05/20/2024
End Date: 05/19/2027
Description:
ABO discrepancy between the front type and the back type is commonly encountered in pre-transfusion testing. If not resolved, a discrepancy has the potential to lead to a fatal acute hemolytic reaction. Furthermore, ABO discrepancy is a major cause of prolonging the turn-around time and hence, delaying the issuing of type-specific blood components in emergencies.
Objectives:
After completing this activity, you should be able to:
• Define ABO discrepancy in pretransfusion testing.
• List and describe the common causes of ABO discrepancy.
• Outline and interpret the immunohematologic methods of resolving ABO discrepancy.
• Manage ABO discrepancy and the turnaround time of type and screen in emergent transfusions
