Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

286
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Blood Transfusion01:15

Blood Transfusion

502
Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that saves lives and treats various medical conditions. It involves transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This process requires a thorough understanding of the ABO blood group system and its associated antigens and antibodies.
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

10.7K
Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Healthcare Operations Management
  • Blood Banking

Background:

  • Blood product constraints necessitate improved inventory management in blood banks.
  • Challenges in supply chains and donor availability impact blood banks.
  • Existing solutions often reduce transfusion volumes and blood bank inventory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance blood bank inventory availability without altering transfusion rates.
  • To implement solutions preventing unnecessary red blood cell (RBC) orders and crossmatching.

Main Methods:

  • Focused on reducing duplicate orders, preoperative blood orders, and excess blood order volumes.
  • Implemented changes to crossmatching workflow for perioperative needs.
  • Monitored crossmatch to transfusion (CT) ratio and days of shelf life until expiration.

Main Results:

  • The CT ratio of RBCs decreased significantly from 2.03 to 1.67 (p < 0.05).
  • Average shelf life of issued RBCs increased from 17.5 to 20.4 days (p < 0.05).
  • Inventory management efficiency improved post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Modifying preoperative order sets and staff education positively impacts inventory.
  • Changes in crossmatching workflow significantly reduce unnecessary RBC reservations.
  • These improvements can be implemented without substantially affecting turnaround times.
