Haematopoetic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) is a life saving procedure for a small cohort of paediatric patients. Supporting patients following a blood group mismatched HSCT is a particular challenge for the Blood Transfusion laboratory. Through a series of case studies this presentation will discuss some of these challenges and the decision making process around appropriate blood product selection.
