“…This finding is similar to those of other studies [3] [7] [14]. Whole blood accounted for a higher proportion of the total blood and blood components transfused in the surgical 61.6% (69/112) and reproductive health 76.0% (57/75) departments and this is similar to the study by Gaur et al [7]. This finding could be due to the fact that one of the few indications of whole blood is severe haemorrhage [15] [16] which can result from traumatic injuries seen in surgical practice and from obstetric and gynecologic complications.…”

“…Anaemia was the most common indication of blood transfusion and this finding is similar to that of other studies [7] [9] [20]. Majority of the patients who were transfused because of anaemia could have had anaemia of chronic disease as 66.4% (160/241) of these patients had neoplasms, infectious and chronic renal disease which is associated with anaemia of inflammation [21].…”

Background: Blood transfusion is an essential component of modern health care. It is required universally to manage various medical, surgical and obstetric conditions. Establishing the profiles of blood recipients would help in predicting the long term needs of blood transfusion as changing patterns of populations, diseases and health care will result in changing demands for blood and blood components. The objective of the study was to determine the pattern of blood use in terms of demographic and clinical profiles of the recipients. Methods: A hospital based medical chart review of 384 patients who were transfused from June 2013 to November 2013 was carried out. Systematic random sampling method was used; data were collected using a structured data collection form and was analyzed using frequency tables. Results: The median age of the recipients was 31.5 years (IQR 13, 45.8) and the range was 0 to 89 years. Females comprised 55.2% of the recipients, of which 57.7% were in the reproductive age group (15-49 years). The majority of the recipients (60%) were from surgical and medical wards. The main indication of the transfusion was anaemia (62.8%) and most of the transfused patients were being treated for neoplasms (23.2%), pregnancy and childbirth related conditions (11.7%), injuries (11.5%) and infections (11.4%). Conclusion: Majority of the transfused patients were relatively young and were females. Anemia was the main indication of the transfusion and most of the transfused recipients presented with neoplasms, pregnancy and childbirth related conditions, infections and injuries.

“…Blood is essential for human survival. [1][2][3] 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. Component therapy was introduced between 1950s and 1960s to maximize the benefits of all components present in the whole blood.…”

Background: 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 of utilization of blood components in tertiary care hospital at Rajkot. Methods: This was retrospective study carried out over a period of 1 year from January 2017 to December 2017. All the data were collected from blood bank. Result: Total number of the blood components utilized in the year 2017 was 22290.The most utilized blood component included of Red Cell Concentrate (RCC) followed by Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and Platelet Concentrate respectively. Cryoprecipitate was least utilized component. Thalassemia ward was majorly benefited. Conclusion: Periodic evaluation of utilization pattern, demand for different blood products also helps to maintain the blood stock.

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.
