Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine
  • Hematology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Patient Blood Management (PBM) is crucial for anemic surgical patients, aiming to reduce transfusions and improve outcomes.
  • Effective PBM implementation requires robust metrics beyond documented success.
  • Optimizing PBM at the hospital level necessitates standardized assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define a composite Safety Index in PBM (SIPBM) to measure PBM process impact.
  • To assess the efficiency and effectiveness of PBM in elective surgery patients.
  • To evaluate the impact of screening and treating anemic patients preoperatively.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparative study in a tertiary hospital.
  • Analysis of the Safety Index in PBM (SIPBM) in elective surgery patients.
  • Data collection and comparison between two distinct periods (2019 and 2022).

Main Results:

  • Increased preoperative iron treatment uptake from 27.40% (2019) to 36.71% (2022).
  • Median SIPBM remained 1.00, but showed a significant improvement favoring 2022 (p < 0.005).
  • Demonstrated a measurable impact of PBM interventions on patient care processes.

Conclusions:

  • The SIPBM is an effective tool for measuring PBM implementation effectiveness.
  • Ongoing feedback via SIPBM aids in identifying PBM process improvement opportunities.
  • This study establishes a baseline for developing tools to measure PBM safety and impact in surgery.
