“…It is very difficult for maintaining a healthy balance between continuing blood demand and supply [ 8 ]. Interventions should be designed to modify the transfusion practices; thus, periodic revision of existing guidelines is made to enhance the transfusion practices [ 9 ]. Thus this study aimed to review the utilization pattern of blood and blood components in a tertiary care hospital.…”

Introduction Blood is the most commonly donated, vital and essential tissue, saving many lives. It is better to use components instead of whole blood for maximum benefits of blood. Blood is considered a life-saving medicine, so it must be used with precautions as blood and its components can cause side effects such as transfusion-transmitted infections and various transfusion reactions in the recipients. Physicians must therefore be aware of the risk/benefit ratio. Regular internal audits of the blood centres should be conducted to know usage trends. The aim of this study is to analyse the component usage pattern, their demand and the utilization pattern in a tertiary supply centre in Dahod, India. Material and methods This is a retrospective, descriptive study conducted over a one-year period from January 1, 2021, to December 31 2021. All data was collected in our blood centre. Results 5811 blood components were distributed. Red cell concentrate have been utilized the most followed by fresh-frozen plasma and platelet concentrate, respectively. Cryoprecipitate is used the least. Maternity patients benefit greatly from red cell concentrate. The majority of platelet rich concentrate and fresh frozen plasma are utilised by medicine and paediatric departments. The demand for blood is greater as compared to the total collection. Conclusion The maternity department receives the majority of the red cell concentrate for the treatment of severe anaemia. Platelet rich concentrate and fresh frozen plasma, on the other hand, are mostly utilised by the medicine department. Different blood components have seasonal variations as well. So, periodic analysis of the usage pattern and need for different blood components at different times also helps maintain blood inventory.

Background: Blood banks should be aimed at high quality of transfusion practices in terms of standard practices from screening of donors, collection, separation and issue of blood and blood products. Regular transfusion audits should be carried out in the blood bank to know the utilization trends. Aims and Objectives: To study the utilization pattern of blood and blood components in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study carried out at the blood bank of a tertiary care hospital for a period of three years from 2015-2017. Details of collection of whole blood, preparation of components, departments requesting blood products were collected from the records of the blood bank. Data entered in excel and frequency and distribution of variables were calculated. Result: A total of 10072 blood components were prepared during the study period of three years. Out of the 2372 whole blood collected during the study period, 1981 (83.5%) were utilized. Out of the 4961 components prepared, 4726 (95.3%) of packed cells, 2942 (59.3%) of platelets, 4516 (91%) of Fresh frozen plasma was utilized. During the study period, Obstetrics and Gynecology department requested 3610 (35.8%) blood products, followed by Orthopedics department 2098 (20.8%). Conclusion: Every blood bank should audit the pattern of utilization of blood and blood products which can serve as an internal quality control for the effective functioning of blood bank. A good communication between the clinicians and the blood bank personnel will minimize the inappropriate usage of blood and blood products.
