Blood Did Not Flow During Plasma Donation. How Clot Can Be Present When Anticoagulant Was Already Administered?
During a plasma donation, needle was inserted by two phlebs because they couldn't get return. Once blood was flowing, the machine took one round, returned rbc's with anticoagulant to me, then on the second round, blood would not flow. They removed the needle and there was a clot. , and is the clot dangerous?
