Objective: To review the use of special reagents in immunohematology to solve complex clinical cases such as ABO and RhD group discrepancies, the presence of irregular antibodies and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHAI), which require complementary diagnostic techniques. List the benefits of special reagents in facilitating laboratory work, standardizing processes, improving diagnostic accuracy and increasing transfusion safety.

Webinar Objetivos:

Describe las las discrepancias y subgrupos en el sistema sanguíneo ABO, diferenciando entre: Discrepancias ABO cuando hay inconsistencias entre las pruebas de agrupamiento directo e inverso, o entre resultados pasados y actuales. Subgrupos ABO, Representan variantes del sistema ABO con niveles reducidos de antígenos en los glóbulos rojos. Se presentan ejemplos donde discrepancias y anticuerpos inesperados, como anti-A1, resultaron en reacciones transfusionales severas, subrayando la importancia de la tipificación precisa y el manejo adecuado. Importancia clínica, Se enfatiza la necesidad de protocolos robustos y herramientas avanzadas para garantizar la seguridad del paciente.

Orador: Dr. Baldomero Castro

Webinar Objetivos:

Describir la importancia de los donantes de reactivos en la fabricación de reactivos de glóbulos rojos utilizados para pruebas serológicas en laboratorios y bancos de sangre. Explica cómo estos donantes, seleccionados por su fenotipo específico, garantizan la disponibilidad de unidades necesarias para detectar anticuerpos y tipificar sangre de manera precisa. Se aborda los desafíos como la competencia con necesidades transfusionales y requisitos regulatorios internacionales, además de destacar configuraciones como las pruebas Capture^® para detección de anticuerpos. También subraya que los donantes de reactivos permiten estabilidad en la producción y evitan retrasos en el suministro de productos esenciales.

Orador: Germán Núñez, MBA

Webinar Objetivo:
