Human errors cause half of ABO-incompatible transfusions. This study found most errors are clerical, often due to specimen labeling issues, highlighting the need for strict quality control in blood banking.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Laboratory Science
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Human errors significantly contribute to ABO-incompatible transfusions and transfusion-related fatalities.
  • Addressing these errors is crucial for enhancing patient safety in transfusion services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively analyze the distribution, type, and frequency of errors in the crossmatch lab.
  • To investigate contributing factors and underlying system issues leading to transfusion errors.
  • To correlate laboratory errors with clinical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study design to capture transfusion errors.
  • Detailed analysis of error types, frequencies, and locations.
  • Investigation into factors influencing error rates, including time of day and urgency.

Main Results:

  • 342 errors (6.2/1000 samples) were identified, with 87.1% being clerical and 86.5% occurring outside the blood bank.
  • Specimen labeling errors were most frequent (6.4/1000 samples), with bedside collection being a major site of deviation.
  • Incorrect blood component transfusion (IBCT) rate was 22.5/100,000 components; miscollected samples (WBIT) occurred at 0.65/1000 samples.

Conclusions:

  • Proper specimen labeling is critical to prevent transfusion errors.
  • Implementing a non-compromising policy for rejecting mislabeled specimens is essential.
  • Continuous quality monitoring is vital for improving laboratory performance and patient safety.
