Blood is very important therapeutic agent in bleeding patient; and very invaluable substance because of obtaining from humans only. During a 12-month evaluation period from June 1985 through May 1986; an analysis of blood use for 87 surgical procedures from 2;527 patients was done. Surgical procedures of 34 groups (39.1%) were received blood below 1 unit on the average transfused unit. Surgical procedures which were above 3 units in difference between average crossmatched numbers and transfused ones show 14 groups (16.1%). 28;329 units were crossmatched and 18;349 units transfused; therefore 9;980 units (35.2%) were returned to blood bank. Above results show that physicians order blood on the basis of habit. By realigning crossmatching order with actual excepted needs; substantial savings can be realized in terms of personnel; time; reagent; and outdating of units of blood. |
