Caitlin Raymond: A Call for Improved Clinical Integration in Transfusion Medicine
Caitlin Raymond, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Transfusion Medicine at University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Most clinicians don’t know when to call transfusion medicine.
Some don’t know we exist.
This is not a criticism — it’s a visibility problem, and it’s nearly universal.
The blood bank is infrastructure.
Like the electrical grid, you mostly notice it when something goes wrong.
The consequences are real: transfusion reactions managed in isolation, complicated antibody cases that never get a clinical conversation, decisions made without a map.
So I made a map.
Attached: a one-page clinical reference covering when to consult transfusion medicine, what the five can’t-miss reactions look like, and when it’s safe to monitor without a consult.
The most important line on it: consult us if you’re unsure.
Uncertainty is enough.
That’s what we’re here for.”
