Question

Write about how to communicate in the blood bank, where pre transfusion testing viral marker studies, if a case is positive for HIV screening

Answer 1

Through verbal communication, if we contact the blood bank person it makes misunderstanding and transcription error. a written or electronic communication method for urgent transfusion will be helpful, it enhances the standardized and documented process for further followup.
Screening of blood units before transfusion was done in all the blood banks to prevent transfusion-transmissible infections. Standardized screening procedures for blood banks include screening results for hepatitis B surface antigen, human Immunodeficiency virus(HIV), antibodies to the hepatitis C virus(HCV) using rapid immunochromatographic assays. these samples analyzed for three viral markers(HBV, HIV, HCV) using the 3rd generational(ELISA) kit as a gold standard at their respective testing facility. Two types of tests to find out infectious agents that are the surrogate tests or direct tests for the HIV virus performed if a donor carries infectious agents as high-risk group members.
