응급/대량 수혈 시 ABO 이형 적합 적혈구제제 선택에 도움을 주기 위한 제안: AB형 환자에게도 O형 적혈구제제가 차선으로 1순위인가? = Suggestion to Use Optimal ABO Non-Identical but Compatible RBC Components in Emergency/Massive Transfusions: Are Type O RBC the Second Best for Type AB Patients?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

According to the transfusion guidelines, type O RBC is the best choice for emergency transfusions if the recipient’s ABO group is unknown. If the recipient’s ABO group is confirmed after pre-transfusion tests, ABO identical and ABO compatible (but non-identical) RBC is the second-best choice in that order. However, non-transfusion medicine physicians have a misconception that type O RBCs are always the second best for patients in all emergency/massive transfusions. The author suggests the use of optimal ABO non-identical but compatible RBC components in emergency/massive transfusions, especially for AB＋ recipients.
