In modern blood banking, quality control of blood products ensures the timely availability of a blood component of high-quality yield with maximum efficacy and minimal risk to potential recipients. A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out at Mansoura University Hospital Blood Bank (MUHBB) aiming to assess the internal quality control (IQC) of 300 units of each blood components, red blood cell concentrates (RBCs), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and platelet concentrates (PCs), and to explore their compliance with The Egyptian National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS ),The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), and Council of Europe (CE) standard criteria. IQC of different blood products was accepted if > 90% of units were fulfilled the standard requirements. The results of our study show that the total compliance of RBCs was 93.3% according to NBTS and CE standards and 96% as regards AABB standards. The total compliance of FFP was 94.0% according to NBTS and CE standards and 96.0% as regards AABB standards. While the total compliance of PCs was 96.0% according to NBTS and AABB standards and 93.3% as regards CE standards. Continuous improvement is recommended to decrease the percentage of noncompliance in the QC parameters included in our study and to uplift the blood transfusion practices.

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination02:45

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

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...

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.

Blood Typing01:10

Blood Typing

Understanding an individual's blood group is a critical component of transfusion medicine. It ensures compatibility in blood transfusions, organ transplants, and even during pregnancy. Determining these blood groups involves the ABO and Rh blood typing systems, utilizing specific antigens and corresponding anti-sera to identify an individual's blood type.
Antigens are protein molecules that reside on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). The ABO and Rh blood typing systems target antigens A,...

Blood Transfusion

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 Studies I: ABG and VBG

Blood studies are critical in the medical field, enabling healthcare professionals to assess a patient's health status accurately. This page will focus on two significant blood studies: Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) and Venous Blood Gas (VBG).
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) studies are crucial for assessing the lungs' ability to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, reflecting the patient's ventilation status. They also help understand the kidneys' capacity to reabsorb or...
