Abstract | Background and objectives: D-negative red cells are transfused to D-negative females of childbearing potential (CBP) to prevent haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN). Transfusion of low-titre group O whole blood (LTOWB) prehospital is gaining interest, to potentially improve clinical outcomes and for logistical benefits compared to standard of care. Enhanced donor selection requirements and reduced shelf-life of LTOWB compared to red cells makes the provision of this product challenging. Materials and methods: A universal policy change to the use of D-positive LTOWB across England was modelled in terms of risk of three specific harms occurring: risk of haemolytic transfusion reaction now or in the future, and the risk of HDFN in future pregnancies for all recipients or D-negative females of CBP. Results: The risk of any of the three harms occurring for all recipients was 1:14 × 10 Conclusion: These data suggest that the risk of transfusing RhD-positive blood is low in the prehospital setting and must be balanced against its potential benefits. |
