AUDIT OF BLOOD REQUISITION.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India·2016

Autologous transfusion offers a safer alternative to allogeneic blood transfusions, reducing risks of complications and transmitted diseases. Implementing this practice can significantly increase its utilization in hospitals.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Allogeneic blood transfusions carry risks of immunological complications and transfusion-transmitted diseases.
  • Autologous transfusion presents a safer alternative, aiming for 'Safe Blood' practices.
  • This procedure is feasible for implementation in peripheral hospitals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of autologous transfusion in a hospital setting.
  • To assess the potential for increasing autologous transfusion rates.
  • To promote safer blood transfusion alternatives.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted from January 1998 to July 2000 in a Services Zonal Hospital.
  • 45 pre-operative autologous collections were performed.
  • Interactive programs were conducted with healthcare workers and patients.

Main Results:

  • The rate of autologous transfusion increased from 0.34% in 1998 to 13.83% by July 2000.
  • This increase was achieved through targeted educational and engagement initiatives.
  • Demonstrated feasibility and significant uptake of autologous transfusion.

Conclusions:

  • Vigorous participation from all hospital levels, supported by a transfusion committee, is recommended.
  • Promoting autologous transfusion increases its acceptance and utilization.
  • This practice reduces reliance on allogeneic transfusions and associated hazards.
