@drdrewprovan: Blood transfusion is complex. We must give the correct blood to the patient or we may cause massive transfusion reactions. I’ll explain why getting the right blood is so important. #hematology #redcell #transfusion #antibodies #fyp

The amount of times I've heard doctors ask why they can't just have O neg when their patient has atypical antibodies. I mean you can? But they might have a TxR. They sometimes argue O neg is the universal type and suitable for everyone 😳

aldi :

That’s really interesting, thank you. What happens in the event of someone undergoing surgery? Is their blood group determined prior to the procedure (and what would happen in the event of emergency surgery)? Apologies for the questions!

This is so interesting. My 7 y/o is rhesus neg and required a transfusion in September following a post tonsillectomy haemorrhage. I spotted they hooked up resus positive and questioned it and they changed it quickly to negative! What impact does this have on the body should it occur? Thankfully it didn’t but I do wonder..

the businessman :

Can a negative patient succumb immediately when given a rhesus positive blood? eg O negative given O positive blood

scottishlass420 :

I had a blood transfusion 2022 they didn't know my blood group i took a bad reaction was on 5 min observations 😳make sure u know ur blood type ! 🙏

shaima rashid :

a question sir what causes a blood transfusion not to infuse yet the cannula is patent even after recannulating with a bigger gauge and the patient has sickle cell disease and is teenager

Linda :

Hello my daughter in law had a transfusion after the birth of her daughter and my granddaughter would this change her personality?

Annie Staveley :

Hi Drew. Im elderly, all but one of my family now dead. I have a question, a wondering, that has titilated me privately these many years. It concerns my parentage. B- father and O+ mother 1st child O+ ... now 86 and vibrant 2nd child B- ... initially failed to thrive, kidney disease since childhood, killed him in his 70s. The mother very ill at time of birth, recovered, bore another, 3rd child (me) O+ ... pretty ab fab, to be honest Somewhere along Life's unreliable bent and rutted track of casually acquired information (or indeed dis info), I heard that after a difficult Rh birth, the mother was left unable to birth another live child ... yet here I am. Could the father of one and two above, have sired me? Mother was frightfully straight laced however as I approach 80 I realize that doesn't mean a jolly thing. Grandmother (whom I'm very like), lived to 103. I'm threatening a repeat. Still, before I pop off, I should like to know whether mother's virtue slipped. Are you able to elucidate the blood situation for me. I'm smiling as I write. Nothing about this could make me unhappy. A.

Another fantastic educational video, from Dr Provan. Not everyday do we get access to a senior hospital consultant haematologist. Take advantage of the Dr’s huge knowledge, by coming along to his lives at 8pm most evenings.
