Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Pathology

Background:

  • ABO incompatible blood transfusions can lead to severe clinical consequences.
  • Accurate patient and sample identification is critical in transfusion processes.

Observation:

  • Four cases of ABO incompatibility were observed over three years.
  • Errors stemmed from misidentification of patients, crossmatch samples, or blood donations.

Findings:

  • Clinical presentation of ABO incompatibility varied significantly across the reported cases.
  • The root cause was consistently linked to failures in specimen and donation identification.

Implications:

  • Emphasis should shift from advanced crossmatching techniques to rigorous protocol adherence.

  • Implementing failsafe identification systems for specimens, donations, and recipients is paramount.
  • Minimizing human error in blood transfusion services is essential for preventing adverse events.
