TRANSFUSION - MEDICAL SCIENCE WORKSHOP
Include up to 180 pupils per day
There has been a terrible accident and a patient is at risk of dying from blood loss. Are your students ready to step into the shoes of Doctors and Nurses in the Accident and Emergency department? Every participant will learn the background science and the practical technique required to conduct and analyse an ABO blood test (using realistic simulated blood). They must identify the blood type of the patient and confirm the types from various donor blood bags before arranging the life-saving transfusion. Teams must be able to work and think clearly under pressure to avoid transfusing an incompatible blood type. Which medical team will save the patient in a race against time?
