I just started a new job in a hospital this video was so helpful. You are right administering blood is scary. This video
helped to reassure me. Easy to understand and follow . THANK YOU

The ports on the blood tubing are both white not one white one red. It doesn't matter which side you use either. The most important thing is the filter must be covered to prevent clots. Also to close the saline clamp before you open and run the blood to prevent saline to flow back up into the blood bag.

AWESOME VIDEO!! THANKS SO MUCH!! IF I MAY MAKE A SUGGESTION...It might be helpful to put "EPIC" in your keywords or however that is done to aid people who are specifically looking for charting suggestions...I just started a new job and am learning epic--and this was SUPER helpful...Again thank you so much!!

Is it okay to give iv meds while on BT? In the same tubing?

I’m confused what the blue band is? Can anyone explain? I understand what the paper is and the label on the bag and then of course the patent wrist band. But what is the blue band? And where does that go?

I live in Canada, its so weird to me to see "charges" on charting. We don't bill for procedures done in hospital. Go universal healthcare!!

What's the time interval from one blood transfusion to another
