Chinese expert consensus on the implementation of electronic crossmatch
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2024, Vol 37, Issue 9
Abstract
The advent of electronic crossmatch, an innovative technology leveraging computerized systems for blood type compatibility assessment, is progressively establishing itself as a pivotal method for augmenting the safety and efficacy of blood transfusions. In the context of China′s advancing medical standards and rising public expectations for transfusion services, the limitations inherent in traditional crossmatch techniques, such as intricate procedures, substantial time consumption and inadequate emergency response capabilities, underscore the urgent need for the adoption and implementation of electronic crossmatch.By streamlining transfusion workflows and optimizing blood type compatibility, electronic crossmatch markedly enhances the accuracy and safety of blood transfusions. While electronic crossmatch has exhibited considerable standalone benefits, integrating it with Rh phenotyping compatible transfusion in specific scenarios can further mitigate the formation of Rh alloantibodies and diminish the risk of transfusion-associated complications. The synergistic application of both methods can more holistically elevate the quality of transfusion services, necessitating flexible deployment based on clinical exigencies. Consequently, the associations of Working Party on Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Society of Blood Transfusion have convened experts to formulate this consensus, aimed at guiding the promotion of electronic crossmatch and its integration with Rh phenotyping compatible transfusion in China, thereby propelling the transfusion system towards enhanced intelligence and operational efficiency.
