“…Percentage of discarded whole blood and components in the present study was 5.8% which was less as compared to Roy et al [3] (7.49%); but slightly higher as compared to Morish et al [1] (2.3%) and Thakare et al [4] (3.58%).…”

Context:There is always a dearth of blood available for transfusion which can be reduced with more efficient utilization of blood or blood components Aims:This study was aimed at finding reasons for discarding blood or blood components and to develop plans to reduce wastage Materials and Methods:This was a retrospective observational study in blood bank unit of tertiary care hospital and included data from records for one year(1 st Jan 2014 to 31 st Dec 2014). Majority of blood donations were subjected to blood components processing. Reason for discarding blood or blood components was observed and results were analysed. Results:Total 11923 blood bags were collected, 11804 were subjected to component preparation. Overall discard rate of whole blood and components was 5.8%. Most common reason for discard was TTI (74.2%), of which HCV formed the majority. Non-utilization due to expiry (17.1%), blood sent for quality control(3.9%) and other causes(leakage, contamination, DCT positivity and no available segment for cross match) constituted 4.8% of the discard rate. Conclusions:Proper utilization of blood is needed with ideally zero percentage wastage. Most common reason for discard of blood/blood products in our study was seropositivity, followed by non-utilization of blood/blood products beyond expiry date. Proper screening of donors, detailed history, issuing blood/components based on FIFO (First in First out) policy and regular audit by hospital transfusion committee will help to reduce wastage.

“…The average discard rate of blood and blood components in the present study was 17.9% which was quite comparable with the previously conducted studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Table 4 signified the comparison of reasons for discarding of blood and blood products in the present study with similar other studies.…”

Introduction: A quality management system should be followed at all stages of collection, processing, storing and issuing of blood products. Hence it is vital to know the discarding of blood products at the blood banks to improve the transfusion services and for effective management of the blood products. Aim: To find the various reasons for discarding of blood products and to explore the strategies to minimize its wastage in the blood bank of a tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods: Data was collected from the master blood donor register, whole blood and components record and discarding register for a period of three years. The information on total blood products prepared, total number of products discarded and the reason for discarding was retrieved from these records. Results: In the study period, expiry was the main reason for discarding of whole blood and platelets. Packed cells were discarded due to expiry, Transfusion transmissible infections and damaged bag. Damaging due to the handling was the common reason for discarding of FFPs and none of the Cryoprecipitate was discarded. Hepatitis B infection was the most common cause of Transfusion transmissible infection followed by Syphilis in the present study. Conclusion: Meticulous screening of donors prior to blood donation, sensitizing the clinicians on rational use of blood products, training of blood bank personnel and practicing standard transfusion protocols will minimize the discard rate of blood and blood products in the blood banks.

“…In other studies, the average rate of discarding is quite variable, which ranges from 2.3% to 22.45%. 5,6,7 Mean Discard rate for PRBC in our study was 10.20% which was higher than quoted by different studies showing the range of discard rate from 2% to 4.5% 8,9 , although some of them did not include TTI status for calculation of discard rate. Out of total 368 units of PRBC, 251 units were expired due to non-utilization of PRBC units till their expiry, or due to received back from their treating wards.…”

Introduction: In quality management system for process improvement and better inventory management, a performance monitoring tool is critical in the blood bank to improve quality and discard rate of blood component is one of the essential elements. This study was designed to analyse blood component discard and their reason in a newly developed institute and blood bank setup. Material and Methods:It was a retrospective observational study from May 2018 to March 2019. During the study period data was captured and analysed for component preparation and discarded individually and cumulatively. Major reasons were analysed for blood component discard. Results:Total number of blood component discard observed were 1714 out of which 368 red cell component (21.4%); 1139 Platelet component (66.4%), 210 fresh frozen plasmas (11.7%); 6 cryoprecipitate and cryo poor plasma respectively (0.6%) were discarded. Major reasons for discard of blood component were expiry, TTI reactivity, leakage, and red cell contaminations. Conclusion:The current study reflects very high discard rate compared to other published studies and recommend the following the necessary policies and supervision for reduction of blood component discard are need based change and production of blood components and better inventory management in new hospital based setup and following standard procedure for manufacturing, storage and transfer of blood components.
