Article Synopsis
- The Gerbich blood group system has 11 antigens, with the anti-Ge3 being particularly significant and prevalent, posing risks in neonates.
- A case study of a 34-week old neonate illustrates that late-onset hemolysis can occur if the mother has anti-Ge3, but treatment with maternal transfusions can be effective.
- It's rare but crucial to recognize hemolytic disease related to anti-Ge3 in Hispanic women to manage prenatal care and monitor newborns effectively for anemia.
Background: Laboratory-based quality improvement (QI) initiatives can improve clinical outcomes and patient safety.
Study Design And Methods: We present three cases of QI that impact processes from the transfusion service (TS) laboratory to the patient's bedside.
Results: Case 1 was event discovery reporting (EDR).
