We are taking a small pause from our breast cancer series to discuss an important topic that is so critical to understand for clinical practice, no matter what discipline of medicine you are in: the fundamentals of transfusion medicine. This topic often shows up quite frequently on board exams, as well. In this episode, we talk about terms such as “type and screen” and more.

Content:

- What is a "type and screen"?

- What does this process entail?

- What is the difference between this and crossmatching?

- When do we see discrepancies in the antibody screen?
