Sažetak
The safe administration of the blood products in transfusion medicine requires precautionary measures i.e. blood typing and crossmatching between donor and recipient. Regarding this, teaching staff of the Department of Physiology and Radiobiology and Clinic for Internal Diseases of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb decided that veterinary students should learn about dog and cat blood groups and crossmatching in extensive details already in the second year of undergraduate study. The main purpose of this report is to describe the objectives, adopted procedures, produced teaching material, and proposed future students activities. The methodological unit "Blood groups and typing in dogs and cats, crossmatching procedure" was incorporated into the existing curricula of obligatory course “Physiology of domestic animals I”. Teaching was prepared as practical work lasting for 3 school hours. First part lasting 1 hour comprised introduction in blood groups when and how transfusion is applied in the clinic, and possible consequences due to transfusion reactions. After explaining step-by-step the protocol of the crossmatching (types, principle, procedure and interpretation), students work in pairs under supervision. Based on results, which are obtained by analysing samples using a microscope, e.g. positive agglutination of red blood cell (irregular/unexpected antibodies in either donor or recipient’s blood) they conclude on blood compatibility between the donor or recipient’s blood. Through objectives, introduction and practical work this methodological unit was designed and performed to provide the deep understanding of blood types and crossmatching procedure for veterinary students. Step-by-step instructions will enable a knowledge for students, which they will further develop in higher years of study. The results of this project could be useful in the improvement of training programs in veterinary transfusion medicine et Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb.
