Bless you! My clinical trainer is too busy this week with MTPs. You're a life saver. I could probably fumble through with just my memory of class labs and the hospital SOP, but you've given me confidence while I try type and screens by myself and wait for things to settle down in the hospital.
Great question! While I do not think this career is meant for everyone I don't regret it! My original career goal was to become a physician...BUT I did not even know this field existed! Once I found out about the profession I was easily hooked! It allows me to use my love of science, technology, and working with my hands to get to the root of patients' conditions. I feel like I am helping people heal and thrive instead of returning for ambiguous care.
@@Makaylah13 both are really great fields! I think it boils down to how you would want a normal day to go. Sonography or Radiology would put you in direct patient contact. The laboratory would not. Both are considered diagnostic fields (imaging versus testing) and are very visual. Sonography may be more repetitive whereas, depending on the facility at which you work, may provide more variation.
Few hours before my blood banking practical exam...video is most helpful
Glad it helped!

Thank you for the support! So glad you are finding the help you need that you can access at your own pace 😊 Thank you for all you do!
You always have to carry out the testing to the AHG phase. Immediately spin reactions are not usually clinically significant.
You should add your plasma first then add your cells. That way you can check to make sure you don’t forget to add your serum.
after you did elution .. will you use the same antibodies screening method for elute sample??
Yes, using the eluate. There is a video for that test. See the elution videos.
Is there video series to explain this method from the bottom
Yes, the whole Blood Banking play list follows the procedures from blood typing all the way through cross-match
What's the differnet between indierct combs test & Antibody screen?
Indirect antiglobulin tests are a category of testing that uses reagent RBCs. So, the Ab screen and ID are both considered IATs.
Do u regret, or recommend this career?
