  • Title: [Crossmatching for vital indications].
    Author: Schönitzer D.
    Journal: Infusionsther Klin Ernahr; 1983 Feb; 10(1):4-10. PubMed ID: 6840830.
    Abstract:
    The importance of the indirect Coombs procedure for compatibility testing is emphasised. According to the results of our own antibody-screening the risk of the hemolytic transfusion reaction is calculated if the complete crossmatch can not be performed because of the lack of time. Alternative antibody-screening tests (enzyme, liss) can be done as a supplementary test but should never replace the Coombs technic. The reaction patterns of the investigated antibodies demonstrate the high risk of a blood transfusion after the "first step" (saline phase) of the crossmatch.
