title: [Problem-solving in immunohematology: interpretation of ABO typing and its difficulties].
abstract: Practice in immunohematology is replete with complex problems that require practitioners' problem-solving performance. In immunohematology, the acquisition of the reasoning process and necessary skills for making clinical decisions is based on teaching problem-solving strategies which potentially reduce errors and improve patient outcome. We discuss the recognition and resolution of the common causes of discrepancies in ABO typing results using problem-solving strategies.
