Could someone point to "Blood Type" from the article? (by unknown user)

bedside cards
Bedside cards are not acceptable at the hospital I am employed at. Do you know where they are acceptable? I am wondering if it is best to use- "if an ABO can be obtained type specific blood can be issued uncross-matched"- not knowing where the reader will be from. What do you think? thanks!--Ennaear 09:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * From my understanding they are only used where crossmatching is not available. Perhaps: "if an ABO blood typing can be obtained...".--apers0n 10:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Blood grouping
Suggest having a whole section or a separate page on blood grouping. It is also partially covered on the agglutination (biology) page. Snowman 17:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I saw your comments there - what exactly do you mean? What would be in the page on blood grouping? InvictaHOG 04:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Methods of blood grouping - emergency techniques and plate techniques in routine use. Photographs showing visual coagulation.  Explanation of blood grouping from the RBCs and double checking with the antibodies in the serum.  The reagents used. It might be merged on another relevant page, but at the present time it is not fully covered, I feel. Snowman 08:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Cool, sounds like a good read. Since I don't know much (if anything!) about this aspect of things, I'll have to leave it to someone else. InvictaHOG 15:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

emergency blood typing
How do you determine blood sample compatibility in an emergency situation? Say, if blood typing serum is unavailable? [I'm not doing my homework on Wikipedia :p I just think there should be something here on that.] &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 06:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

If the patients blood is not available, then it is not possible to do a cross match. In a dire emergency (where the patients blood is not available and the patients blood group is not known) group O Neg blood (universal donor blood) might be issued. Snowman 09:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought that might be the case. Cheers. &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 15:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

History of cross-matching?
I was curious about the timeline of cross-matching (one of my uncles died in 1931 from what may have been a transfusion mismatch). It looks like the fundamentals of cross-matching began to be understood in 1907, but Rh groups weren't discovered until 1939?

I thought this timeline was informative:

Could a subject matter expert weigh in, and perhaps incorporate some history into the article? Thanks, NapoliRoma (talk) 22:26, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
