Sorry: I hurried too much with that reply, and attached our OLD MTP in
error.  

Here's the more recent version.

Hey Michelle,

(In my experience, attached documents tend to jam in one firewall or
another.  I don't honestly expect this to make it to the List; but let
me know if the cc: finds you.)

This is a bit complex, but pretty comprehensive.  It works for us
chiefly because a) much of the process is automated in our computer
order sets; and b) the Pathologists have embraced their role: once the
trigger is tripped, they monitor the labs and call the shots so that the
trauma surgeons can focus on macroscopic stuff.

In fact, we're on the verge of implementing a "Blood Phone:" the first
blood products are sent with a dedicated, IP-connected portable phone
(no dead zones in OR or radiology) which stays with the patient and
allows the pathologist to instantly find the primary nurse for questions
or instructions.  We think it's gonna be pretty slick.

Always looking for suggestions or other models.  Your comments
appreciated.

Does anyone have any massive transfusion policies that they would be
willing to share?

Thank You!
