Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of slight hemolysis and a positive DAT suggests that there may be an antibody-mediated reaction. Elution is a procedure used to remove antibodies from red blood cells and can help identify the specific antibody involved in the hemolytic reaction. This information can guide the selection of compatible blood products for future transfusions. The other options listed are not typically used in this scenario.
