Successful ABOi transplantation requires planning, an interdisciplinary approach, and clear closed-loop communication. Planning with the surgical and anesthesia teams is necessary for the hemodynamic stability of the patient during the total volume exchange as well as precautions put in place to ensure the blood products used in this procedure are correct. Planning with the lab and blood bank is also necessary to ensure they are prepared with enough blood products and can run isohemagglutinin titers.
