Popis: Aim: A maximum surgical blood order schedule (MSBOS) was implemented at our institution to optimize preoperative blood ordering and reduce unnecessary blood preparation for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP), a common urologic procedure. Materials & methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent RP from 2010 to 2016 and categorized patients by date of RP (pre- or post-MSBOS) and compared preoperative blood-ordering practices. Results: After MSBOS implementation, preoperative blood orders changed from predominantly type and cross-match 2 units (53%) to no sample (56%) for robot-assisted laparoscopic RP, and from mostly type and cross-match 2 units (62%) to type and screen (75%) for open RP with resultant cost savings. Conclusion: MSBOS implementation and compliance decreases unnecessary preoperative blood orders.
