So each unit of blood is precious and utilized judiciously with minimal wasting. The aim of our study is to find out the various causes for discarding blood and blood components, to find out Comparative utilization of components and to find WAPI (Wastage as per issue) a teaching hospital blood bank in Western Maharashtra. Materials and methods: A retrospective study of discard of blood & blood components was done from January 2015 to December 2019 using records available in blood bank in a tertiary care hospital. Results: Packed red cells was the most common blood component utilized, closely followed by FFP. Whole blood was the least utilized. A total of 18316 units were collected and 1636 units were discarded because of various reasons. Expiry was the single most important cause for discard. Overall wastage rate i. e. wastage as per issue (WAPI) was 6.79 from January 2015 to December 2019. Conclusion: This data can be used to optimize their use by training and education. Proper scheduling of blood donation camps, training of the staff for proper handling and storage of blood, use of apheresis technique can reduce the wastage of whole blood and blood components.
