crossmatching /cross·match·ing/ (-mach-ing) determination of the compatibility of the blood of a donor and that of a recipient before transfusion by placing the donor's cells in the recipient's serum and the recipient's cells in the donor's serum; absence of agglutination, hemolysis, and cytotoxicity indicates compatibility. |

| In such circumstances, many laboratories now use abbreviated serological or 'computer release' crossmatching to provide compatible units in a speedier and more accurate fashion. This could be possible since PHER-O2 does not require refrigeration nor type and crossmatching, which is necessary with packed red cells. This crossmatching procedure helps to identify an appropriate transplant candidate for the available organ and is often the final step prior to surgery in assessing donor/recipient compatibility. |
