“…A value of greater than 0.5 indicates efficient blood usage. The overall TI in our study was 1.1 and this is in keeping with the results of Yasmeen et al [15] with a value of 1.1, and Trisal et al [20] with a value of 1.2. A higher value of 2.5 was reported by Shash et al [2] in Saudi Arabia.…”

“…Most (63.7%) recipients of the transfused blood components were female. This aligns with studies done in Northern India [15] and Ethiopia [16]. This imbalance can be explained by the high transfusion demand for labour and other particular hemorrhagic conditions, both in the antepartum and post-partum periods.…”

“…This study has reported an overall C/T ratio of 1.3. This implies an appropriate and efficient blood ordering practice, and is similar to the C/T ratio of 1.5 reported for Saudi Arabia [2] and of 1.5 and 1.4 respectively for two centers in India [15,20]. Our reported values are significantly lower than the C/T ratios of 7.6, 3.9, and 3.7 respectively noted in studies performed in Ethiopia [3], Egypt [10], and Tanzania [22].…”

Introduction:The limited availability of blood makes it imperative that hospitals and transfusion centers employ blood utilization indicators to ensure effective and efficient use. This study is a review of the transfusion practices and blood utilization indicators in the largest tertiary health center in South East Nigeria.Material and methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional hospital-based type. Bio-demographic data, clinical diagnosis, and blood bank information such as patient and donor blood types from a 3-year period (January 2018 to January 2021) was reviewed. The total number of units crossmatched, issued, transfused, or returned was extracted. Utilization indicators such as crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio (C/T ratio), transfusion probability (TP), and transfusion index (TI) were calculated, and our findings were compared to those of similar studies performed in centers in India, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia.Results: A total of 2,919 blood units were cross-matched, of which 2,212 units were transfused to 1,953 patients. The study reported an overall C/T ratio of 1.3, a TP of 71%, and a TI of 1.1. These figures compare favorably with findings reported from studies done in other low and middle income countries. The department of medicine, with a C/T ratio of 1.1, had the most efficient blood ordering practices. Conclusion:Our study shows that the quality indicators on the utilization of blood in our tertiary health institution are in keeping with international best practice. The implementation of policies like the maximum surgical blood ordering schedule could further strengthen the practice and improve the results of the surgical disciplines.

“…Jumlah pembatalan komponen darah PRC yang telah di-crossmatch juga lebih sedikit daripada komponen WB. Penelitian serupa yang dilakukan oleh Yasmeen et al (2021) yang menunjukkan hasil dari total seluruh komponen darah PRC yang di-crossmatch, 92% diantaranya ditransfusikan kepada pasien. Perbedaan skor C/T Ratio ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh kebijakan mengenai permintaan darah untuk transfusi pada masing-masing tempat penelitian.…”

A crossmatch test between patient and donor’s blood must be carried out before blood transfusion. However, not all crossmatched blood will be transfused to the patient. This indicates inappropriate distribution of blood products, blood wastage, inaccessibility of blood for emergency patients, increased costs, and increased workload for staff. Crossmatch to Transfusion Ratio (C/T Ratio) is used as an indicator to determine the efficiency of blood use and can serve as a guide to anticipate excessive blood demand. This study aims to determine C/T Ratio score of blood components WB and PRC in the Brebes Regency Hospital 2021. This research is a descriptive study with a retrospective approach. Sampling was done using total sampling technique. Data was obtained from the blood requests recapitulation book in Brebes Regency Hospital’s Blood Bank 2021. The result showed there were 47 units WB crossmatched and 34 units (72%) transfused. There were 4589 units PRC crossmatched and 4369 units (95%) transfused. The C/T Ratio score of WB is 1.38. The C/T Ratio score of PRC is 1.05. The overall C/T Ratio score is 1.05.

“…The use of high quality blood and blood components with minimal waste is an important goal in the blood use management system. [2] A blood transfusion is the administration of whole blood or blood components such as red blood cells, plasma, or platelets through the intravenous route to meet the patient's need for blood according to the treatment program. Blood transfusions are universally needed to treat patients with severe anemia, patients with congenital blood disorders, patients who have suffered serious injuries, patients who are about to undergo operative surgery, and patients who have liver disease or other diseases that prevent the patient's body from producing blood or components.…”

Health services are efforts organized alone or together in an organization to maintain and improve health, prevent and cure diseases and restore the health of individuals, families, groups or communities in order to realize optimal public health status. Blood services are health efforts that utilize human blood as a basic material for humanitarian purposes and not for commercial purposes. Blood is an important therapeutic product for human life, and its quality and safety must be guaranteed. The doctor's decision to give a transfusion is often assumed with the worst possibility that can occur, so it will require more time and effort to crossmatch. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of blood ordering and transfusion administration by clinicians in elective surgery patient services. This research is normative with a qualitative approach. Qualitative research uses a statutory approach, a concept approach, and a case approach. Data collection techniques using literature reviews from primary and secondary data sources. The results showed that the maximum blood ordering schedule (MBOS) play a role in increasing the effectiveness of blood ordering and transfusing blood. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for blood ordering and blood donor information systems need to be developed to improve the effectiveness of blood transfusion services at the Blood Transfusion Unit (UTD). Doctors who request blood for transfusion must be consistent with the existing SOP, be clear in writing the patient's indication on the transfusion request sheet, and give more consideration to the number of blood bags requested in accordance with the appropriate needs analysis.
