Even though the blood has been issued on emergency release, it is essential to continue with the crossmatch and report any antibodies or incompatibilities that might have been missed during the emergency release process. Ongoing testing can help ensure that the patient receives the most suitable blood and prevent adverse reactions. The other options are also important but should be performed before emergency release whenever possible.
