What is the quickest you have run in a unit of packed RBCs? The doctor ordered a unit to be given over an hour's time. This scared me. I called Critical Care and they said they didn't remember giving any that fast and if they had, it had been many years ago. I ran it at 200 cc/hr and stayed with the pt for over thirty minutes. Lungs remained clear. BP improved. So actually it ran in in an hour and forty minutes.
She had been seeping slowly from a previous above knee amputation incision/infection/open areas. He is taking her back to surgery "tonight or tomorrow". The stump looked discolored to me and she has MRSA in it. Diabetic.
Thanks for your input.
