    Implementing a type-and-hold blood ordering strategy reduced unnecessary crossmatches and blood waste. This approach ensures blood availability for patients without compromising safety or service quality.

    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Surgical Blood Management

    Background:

    • Presurgical blood ordering practices often involve type-and-crossmatch, leading to potential resource waste.
    • Unused crossmatched blood contributes to outdated units and increased costs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of transitioning from type-and-crossmatch to type-and-hold blood ordering.
    • To assess the effect on blood resource utilization, cost savings, and patient safety.

    Main Methods:

    • Blood bank personnel educated surgeons on the benefits of type-and-hold orders.
    • A system was established to guarantee rapid blood availability when needed.
    • Presurgical blood ordering practices were monitored and compared.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Significant reduction in the number of unnecessary type-and-crossmatch orders.
    • Decreased wastage of outdated blood units.
    • Achieved economic savings and resource conservation.

    Conclusions:

    • Shifting to a type-and-hold approach is effective in optimizing blood bank resources.
    • This strategy conserves resources and reduces costs without negatively impacting patient safety or service quality.
