Expected hemotherapy in elective surgery. A follow-up.

P D Mintz, K Lauenstein, J Hume

    JAMA
    |February 13, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Implementing new preoperative cross match guidelines reduced blood ordering for elective surgeries. This strategy saves money, decreases blood waste, and optimizes blood bank resources.

    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Surgical Hemotherapy
    • Blood Banking

    Background:

    • Preoperative cross matching is a standard practice in transfusion medicine.
    • Current practices may lead to unnecessary blood ordering and resource utilization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative cross match guidelines for elective surgical procedures.
    • To assess the impact of revised guidelines on blood ordering practices and blood bank workload.

    Main Methods:

    • Guidelines were developed based on a review of elective surgical hemotherapy.
    • Prospective study of six elective surgical procedures to assess guideline adherence and effectiveness.
    • Included ABO-Rh typing and antibody detection tests for low-transfusion-risk procedures.

    Main Results:

    • A significant reduction in preoperative cross match orders was observed across all six procedures.
    • Strict adherence to guidelines was achieved in only one procedure.
    • Established guidelines can lead to cost savings and reduced blood outdating.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing preoperative cross match guidelines can optimize blood utilization in elective surgery.
    • Education and staff engagement are crucial for successful guideline adoption.
    • Revised transfusion protocols decrease blood bank workload and improve resource allocation.
