Abstract
Background: An understanding of trends in blood and its product usage profile and current usage can help predict future trends in demand and help to put efforts to reduce use in particular areas. Present study aimed to assess the use of blood and blood components issued by blood bank and indication for selection of specific blood products.
Materials and Methods: The present cross sectional observational time bound study was conducted at Father Muller Medical College & Hospital, which included all the patients to whom the whole or blood component are issued from blood between Jan 2016 to Jan 2020. All the units of blood and blood components issued to outside hospitals and institutions were excluded.
Result: A total of 20000 components were dispatched to 5002 patients request for the blood components from the blood bank, 2968 were males and 2032 were female patients (male to female ratio of 1.46:1). Highest request for blood components for transfusion was received from Medicine department and allied with 6063 units, followed with various Intensive care units (4477 units), oncology department (5729 units), OBG (1841 units), orthopaedics (1248 units) and surgery (453 units). The most common diagnosis for patients requiring blood components was haematological causes or Bleeding followed by elective surgery.
Conclusion: Auditing the use of blood, its components and indications for their use by the various departments of the hospital has helped to finding the trend of number of blood.
