Recommendations for British Blood Transfusion Society

RecommendationAction by
DELAYED TRANSFUSION REACTIONS
There is a need for a review, co-ordinated by a professional national body,
of how long specimens should be kept post-transfusion. The review needs
to consider the relative risks and benefits of storing specimens beyond the
time that they are suitable for use in further crossmatching tests.
