Blood Transfusion Services and Utility of Blood and its Components at Teritiary Care Center
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background and AIM: Blood transfusion services aim at providing adequate, safe and quality blood to meet the demands for clinical blood transfusion. The aim of the blood utilization management system is to optimize the utilization of blood products and minimize wastage of blood resources. The present study aims to highlight the services that are provided in our blood bank and special focus on utilization of blood components. Materials and Methods: Present study is a retrospective descriptive study. All the data related to blood donation, blood grouping and Rh (Rhesus) typing, TTI (Transfusion transmitted infections) testing, blood component separation, blood issue and discard details of 2016 were collected from the blood bank. Detail analyses of type of blood donation, TTI results, components issue and discard rates were done. Results: A total of 7,433 blood units were drawn, out of which 98.3% were voluntary blood donation. On TTI testing prevalence of HIV, HbsAg, HCV and Syphilis among blood donors was 0.17%, 0.87%, 0.04% and 0.12%. A total of 9,954 transfusions were done and most common component utilized was RCC (Red cell concentrate) in 46.35% followed by FFP (Fresh frozen plasma) in 29.37% cases. Discard rate was 2.89% cases. The most common reason for discard was found to be TTI positivity followed by expiry. Conclusion: Despite the current advances in technology in healthcare delivery, access to safe blood and blood products and their judicious use remains a big challenge. The study demonstrates transfusion services and trend of utilization of blood and its components. The results allow the identification of blood requisition practices that can be improved, help appraise the effects of blood safety measures and assist in planning future blood supply.
