  • Data collection focused on whole blood utilization and transfusion patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • Whole blood utilization remained high, constituting 81-90% of total blood units used.
    • Single-unit transfusions were prevalent, accounting for 87-89.9% of all transfusions.
    • Blood was frequently requested for volume replacement in acute hemorrhage, with only homologous transfusions performed.

    Conclusions:

    • There is significant scope for improving blood transfusion practices.
    • Recommendations include stricter adherence to transfusion indications, promoting blood component therapy, and exploring autologous blood use.
    • Implementing these changes can enhance patient outcomes and optimize blood resource allocation.
