Automatic special case consultations in transfusion medicine.
In the past, consultations in immunohematology were usually delivered only when there was a blood or component shortage, or when the time required for compatibility testing was prolonged due to the presence of a difficult recipient antibody problem. More recently, transfusion medicine physicians have increased their role as clinical consultants concerned about the appropriate indications for blood transfusion. This communication presents a way to begin a sound program of clinical transfusion medicine consultation. The program can fit with community-wide teaching efforts, community or hospital transfusion audits, and specific physician education programs. Automatic or unsolicited consultations appear to have been both accepted well and beneficial in large hospitals and in communities where they have been provided for more than 7 years.
