Is it considered acceptable to use a patient's historical ABO/Rh result from a previous visit when filling an order for FFP? |

A colleague in Australia wonders if when filling an order for FFP any colleagues consider it to be acceptable to use a patient's historical ABO/Rh result (such as from a previous admission or outpatient visit), rather then require that a new sample for pretransfusion testing be obtained. If so, how historical can such an ABO/Rh result be? |
