Background:
Despite the existence of national and international guidelines, multiple studies show that the clinical use of blood components is not based on scientific evidence; this situation replicates, therefore it was necessary to apply an assessment tool in our medical unit.
Objective:
Assessment the knowledge in transfusion medicine in medical residents who have high requirements of blood hemocomponentes in Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad Hospital de Especialidades No.1 Centro Médico Nacional Bajío.
Material And Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed, and through a validated test the knowledge in transfusional medicine of residents of the unit was evaluated.
Results:
100 residents participated in the research, most of them from the anesthesiology department; as a result, the evaluation tool showed a "Fair" performance in 75% of the participants. No specialty achieved a "Satisfactory" result.
Conclusions:
The application of this tool is the first step to develop and implement strategies to reduce unjustified transfusions of blood components and thus continue to provide excellent care to beneficiaries, minimizing risks and optimizing institutional resources.
