2017-02-1350 minBlood Bank Guy Essentials Podcast024: Allergic Reactions with Will SavageDr. Will Savage from Harvard University joins Dr. Chaffin to discuss Allergic Transfusion Reactions (ATRs). Allergic reactions have become pretty widely known as "nuisance reactions" to blood bankers and clinical staff, and it's easy to think that we understand them. Dr. Savage and colleagues have shown in numerous recent publications, however, that we don't yet fully "get it" with ATRs. He opens our eyes in this last BBGuy Essentials Episode of 2016. Thanks for listening this year (over 25,000 downloads!).

TACO is not something to mess around with, but far too many clinicians and blood bankers fail to give it the respect it deserves. Dr. Garrett Booth joins Dr. Chaffin in an energetic and fast-moving discussion of the "ins and outs" of TACO.
