Blood Transfusion

The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust

OH! LOL - it's was a wrong way-right way video! Now it makes a bit more sense.

If you watch the whole video, it really shows all the things nurses have to be mindful of doing the correct way. I'm not a medical professional but I found it very interesting. Nurses are very admirable and skilled.

lol..."have you done this before Mary?" 😅

I really love this video-- please keep making more of important nursing skills. It is very helpful!

It's an educational video of how not to do a blood transfusion. 7:44 the other half of the video shows the correct way 😁

I'm not a nurse or medically qualified but I AM medically minded. The mistakes I spotted.
1. No gloves until well into the procedure
2. She gave the DOB to the patient and said yes or no? Surely you'd ask the patient to recall the info.
3. Ignored Red Cannula Site
4. Proceeded without wristband present on Patient
5. The wires were tangled which she handled rather unprofessionally in my opinion.
6. Used medical terms when describing the side effects - Pyrexia, I'm medically minded so I knew that but not sure most patients would.

How come she didnt do any priming first?

Wow. My niece had 106 of these. She was born at 23 weeks!

Definitely, this video created for students to find out mistakes. No PPE, Line on the bed, cannula little bit red, no second check. I'm sure she is not stupid as she is band 6. Even band 5 doesn't do things like this

WTF the way she used the giving set, she put it on the bed, onto the locker, she must have even dropped it on the floor judging by the sound and most shockingly... No fking gloves!!! As a Band 6, she should know better, ESPECIALLY since this is supposed to be an educational video... Terrible especially when we're talking about a blood transfusion!
