The Blood Bank Guy Essentials Podcast is designed to focus on teaching the essentials of Transfusion Medicine. This educational session will be done in "live interview-style" with audience participation, similar to a live podcast recording experience. The interviews, with previous podcast guests Sue Johnson and Dr. Meghan Delaney, will cover foundational topics in immunohematology and blood transfusion practice. Attendees will learn essential details about results and testing procedures for patients with autoantibodies, and hear details on red blood cell product selection in a variety of clinical situations. Clinical settings to be discussed include patients with the weak D phenotype and sickle cell disease, as well as those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, intrauterine transfusion, and exchange transfusion in settings of hemolytic disease of the newborn. The focus is on learning, in a relaxed, fun setting, with opportunities for the audience to share their thoughts and experiences to the panel.
Learning Objectives
- Identify common strategies and pitfalls in immunohematology workups for patients with autoantibodies
- Discuss pros and cons of molecular testing for weak D, especially in maternal testing for those with serologic weak D results
- Explain how to integrate RHD genotyping results into communications with patient-facing physicians and laboratory information systems
- Recommend appropriate red blood cell selection strategies for patients with RhD variants, sickle cell disease, hemolytic disease of the fetus/newborn requiring either intrauterine transfusion or exchange transfusion, and those undergoing hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation
- Discuss transplant-adjacent therapies in current and potential future use, including gene therapies
