Immunologic blood transfusion accidents: toward a complete compatibility test at the patient’s bedside
Résumé
In most countries in order to ensure the transfusion safety, a direct compatibility test between the red cell concentrate and the receiver’s blood is performed (crossmatch prior any blood transfusion). In some countries (like France), an ultimate ABO compatibility is required, the test is performed at the patient’s bedside and crossmatch is only performed for patients who present irregular antibodies. Up to now, and whatever the country, no complete solution is able to detect an immunological conflict at the patient’s bedside and to prevent 100% of incompatible transfusions.
