Abstract:
The significance of detecting the recipient's Rh D blood type before transfusion and the feasibility of in-time transfusion to Rh D-negative person with the same ABO type blood or autologous blood were explored. For 2,168 inpatients who applied for transfusion for the first time in the latest five years, Rh D-antigen was detected a day before transfusion by test tube method with IgM anti-D serum provided by BASO company. The results showed that seven Rh D-negative cases were found among 2,168 cases and the Rh D-negative rate was 0.32%. Of these seven cases, two were received autologous blood, two were received Rh D-negative blood of the same type and the other three were not treated with transfusion. It is concluded that hemolytic reaction of transfusion was prevented by detecting Rh D blood type before transfusion, autologous transfusion may be taken if the patient's health-condition permits.
