“…Requests were lesser than the number of blood units issued; this is because many patients were transfused with more than one unit of blood. In our study females (61.8%) received more blood transfusion units than male (38.2%), this is in contrary to the studies done by Mathew et al [1], Bansod et al [10]. They noted males as major recipients receiving transfusions.…”

“…Blood component therapy has gained much of the interest in recent years because of its merits over whole blood transfusion like, it reduces volume overload on patient and has greater shelf life, better patient management [7]. Component therapy was introduced between 1950 and 1960s [7] to maximize the benefits of all components present in the whole blood [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Inappropriate transfusion practices can lead to serious consequences for recipients including transmission of infectious agents [16].…”

Introduction: Blood is essential for life. It contains cellular component and plasma which supplies oxygen, nutrients to different parts of the body. Transfusion of blood and blood components is an integral part of health care practice. Many a times there will be injudicious use of blood and its products among patients which causes unnecessary burden to the patients as well to blood bank. Main aim of this study is to evaluate the pattern utilization of blood and blood components in Karnataka institute of medical sciences. Materials and methods:This was retrospective study carried out over a period of 1 year from January 2015 to December 2015. Necessary data were collected from blood bank registers. Results:Total blood units collections were 13,378. Units utilized were 12,555. Whole blood was the most utilized product followed by PRBC, FFP and least utilized product was platelet concentrates. Gynaecological wards were the Major benefited from the blood supply in this study. Conclusion:Formulation of strict guidelines for transfusion practices will improve the appropriate use of precious resource. Periodic evaluation of utilization pattern, demand for different blood products also helps to maintain the blood stock.

“…DOI : 10.3126/jpn.v13i1.30588 first successful transfusion of human blood was done by James Blundell, a British obstetrician in 1818. 4 Regular audits, discussions with ordering physicians, ward rounds, and computer-based decision-support systems are necessary to reduce inappropriate blood component transfusion and its wastage. In resource-constrained countries like ours, proper use of blood components helps in the maximum utilization of the available resources.…”

Background: Human blood till date has no substitute. Transfusion of blood and its components is a lifesaving procedure. Hence, optimum utilization and minimum wastage of blood and its components should be strictly monitored. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted on data collected from the blood bank of B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal for a duration of 1 year from year 2015 to 2016. The sample size was calculated by using systematic random sampling with every third sampling interval sample collection method. The study included usage and wastage of packed red blood cells, platelet concentrate, fresh frozen plasma, and cryoprecipitate including data on the supply of blood components to different departments, age distribution, gender distribution, and distribution of blood components based on blood groups. Results: A total of 1641 units of blood component were included in the study. A total of 92.9% (1524 units) were used and 7.13% (117 units) were wasted. The renal disorder was the most common cause of blood component utilization. The medicine department utilized the majority of the blood components. The expiry was the most common cause of wastage. Among the wasted blood components, platelet concentrate was the maximum. Conclusion: Blood components are a life-saving resource. It should be evaluated and analyzed properly for utilization in a justifiable manner. The hospital should act in accordance so that maximum blood components are utilized in a safe manner and waste is minimized to the least.

Blood is a specialized bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the body's cells, such as oxygen and nutrients and transports waste products away from these cells. It is composed of cells (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) and plasma. Till date no substitute of blood is formed therefore transfusion of donated blood is the mainstay of treatment in medical or surgical conditions. Blood must be transfused while keeping precautions because, blood and its components can cause side effects in recipient such as transfusion reactions or transmission of transfusion transmissible disease like HbsAg, HCV, HIV, Syphilis and malaria. It is very important for clinicians to be aware of these potential risks and hence blood should be transfused in conditions where it is needed only. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of blood component usage, its demand and utilization in a tertiary care hospital.This is a retrospective cohort study in which data concerning request and utilization of blood and its products from January 2019 to December 2019 in blood bank of tertiary care hospital were collected and analyzed.The blood units issued were 5190. Packed red blood cell was the most utilized product. Supply of blood was maximum to the surgical wards followed by medicine ward. The patients of anemia followed by surgery required packed red blood cells mostly. Most common indication for blood products was anemia. Periodic review of blood component usage is important to assess the utilization pattern of blood in any hospital.
