Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Blood banks face challenges with requisition accuracy and blood utilization.
  • Incomplete data on requisition forms can hinder efficient blood management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze blood bank requisition forms for data completeness and identify areas for improvement.
  • To evaluate blood wastage and recommend strategies for optimizing blood bank operations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2793 blood bank requisition forms from June 1995 to December 1999.
  • Assessment of data completeness regarding patient information, transfusion indications, and history.
  • Calculation of blood discard rates and reasons for wastage.

Main Results:

  • 60.71% of requisitions were for single units; 39.34% resulted in blood collection.
  • Significant omissions in urgency (56%), indications (104 forms), previous transfusion history (25.1%), and pregnancy/HDN (37.38%).
  • An average of 14.61% of collected blood was discarded, primarily due to non-utilization (242 units).

Conclusions:

  • Incomplete requisition data and high wastage rates necessitate improved blood bank management.
  • Establishment of hospital transfusion committees is crucial for regular audits and enhanced efficiency.
  • Recommendations include abolishing single-unit and inappropriate transfusions, and promoting autologous transfusion.
