Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Blood transfusion is an integral part of medical practice. Human blood till date has no substitute. Proper utilization of whole blood and blood components is necessary so that there is minimal wastage. A total of 31655(voluntary and replacement) donors donating blood in the state of art model blood bank of Assam Medical College and Hospital from 1st January, 2015 to 31st May, 2016 were screened. A total of 763 whole blood bags were discarded out of which 305(39.97%)bags were discarded due to seropositivity for Transfusion Transmissible Diseases. A total of 385 blood components were discarded against 12794 blood components prepared. Among components most common units discarded were platelets. The most common cause of discarding of blood components was expiry due to non utilization(88.57%). Proper implementation of blood transfusion policies will help to utilize blood in a proper way and to reduce the wastage due to non utilization of the components.
