| Popis: | BACKGROUND Phlebotomy for diagnostic testing is among the commonest hospital procedures, but hospital-wide surveys of all inpatients characterizing blood draw volumes have not been published. The objectives were to characterize the daily blood volumes drawn for diagnostic testing from patients discharged from a Canadian tertiary care center, describe the daily distributions of phlebotomy volumes across service locations, and describe changes in hemoglobin (Hb) and transfusion across service locations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Data were obtained on all patients discharged between 2012 and 2014 using linked discharge abstract and laboratory data. Cumulative daily blood volume and draw frequency were reported by service and days since admission. Changes in Hb and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rates were reported for nontransfused and transfused patients. RESULTS Data were included on 59,715 subjects. Mean daily estimated blood loss varied from 8.5 ± 6.5 mL/day onward to 27.2 ± 20.0 mL/day in the intensive care unit (ICU; p |
