The operating theater blood transaction system (OTBTS) enhances intraoperative transfusion by enabling rapid, remote blood ordering and delivery. This virtual blood banking system proves efficient, effective, and error-free for critical patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Surgical Patient Care

Background:

  • Traditional blood banking processes can present logistical challenges for timely intraoperative transfusion.
  • The need for efficient and safe blood management systems in operating theaters is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of the Operating Theater Blood Transaction System (OTBTS) for intraoperative transfusions.
  • To assess the utility of an unmatched blood module for emergency intraoperative transfusion.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation and expansion of a virtual blood banking system (OTBTS) in a hospital setting since 1997.
  • Integration of a computer crossmatch-compatible system with an unmatched blood module for ordering and issuing RBCs.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of system usage data over a 7-year period, including crossmatch requests and RBC unit issuance.

    • Main Results:

    • The OTBTS handled 6,333 crossmatch requests and issued 20,073 RBC units, including 100 unmatched units.
    • Achieved high efficiency with a blood ordering and issuing turnaround time under 30 seconds.
    • Demonstrated effectiveness through a reduced crossmatch/transfusion ratio, minimized blood wastage, and an error-free record.

    Conclusions:

    • The OTBTS is an efficient, effective, and error-free system for managing intraoperative blood transfusions remotely.
    • The unmatched blood module ensures the safety and efficacy of computer-controlled, real-time delivery of RBCs for emergency situations.
