| Popis: | Blood transfusion has become an essential part of patient management in modern medicine. Blood is a scarce resource and the blood needs still exeed its supply. Blood and blood components are frequently ordered and utilized without proper analysis of the real needs. Inappropriate ordering and use of blood can burden the physical and human resources of a health-care facility and increase the cost of medical care. Various strategies and quality indicators have been developed to monitor the justification of appropriateness and efficiency of transfusion therapy. The study was taken up to evaluate the utilization of blood and status of transfusion practice in a tertiary teaching hospital in the North-Eastern India. The quality indicators analysed were Cross-match to Transfusion ratio(C: T), Transfusion index(TI), Transfusion probability(%T), RBC-unit expiration rate, RBC-unit wastage rate and RBC concentrate (packed RBC) to Whole blood ratio( PRBC: WB). The results were within the acceptable limits as per other studies available in the literature. But the PRBC: WB ratio was lower than the WHO recommendation of 90: 10. Continuous monitoring will improve the blood transfusion services and will contribute towards shortening of demand- supply gap. |
