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.

“…[8] Blood has become scarce resource because of advances in blood bank techniques, increased frequency of complex surgical procedures, aging populations, initiatives aimed at improving health care standards and decrease in donor availability due to stringent screening criteria. [9] Studies have revealed high proportion of inappropriate use of blood transfusion often in both developed and developing countries. [8,10] This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of TTI in donors in blood bank of Institute of Social Obstetrics and Government Kasturba Gandhi Hospital for Women and Children, Triplicane, Chennai, India over a period of one year.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDBlood transfusion has hazards of Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTI). Blood has several components whose separation, storage and utilization has brought down adverse reactions in recipients. This study aims at evaluating the prevalence of TTI in donors and the pattern of utilization of blood and its components in a tertiary care hospital. METHODSThis is a retrospective descriptive study done between January to December 2017. Data regarding the screening of blood, component separation, storage, utilization and discarding was collected and analysed. RESULTSOut of 4158 donations screened, prevalence of TTI was 38 (0.9%) and that of HBV and HCV was 36 (0.86%) and 2 (0.04%). None of them were positive for HIV, Syphilis and Malaria. Total blood units collected were 10,184. PRBC (32.87%) was the most utilized component followed by FFP (30.59%), Platelet (26.18%), WB (10.33%) and Cryoprecipitate (0.04%). Obstetric (45.42%) cases were most benefited. Out of 143 units discarded, 84 units (58.74%) were discarded due to sero-positivity. CONCLUSIONSThis study analyses the prevalence of TTIs in a tertiary care centre over a period of one year and also emphasizes the appropriate and judicious use of blood and blood components.

“…Patients may receive transfusions of a single blood component (e.g., only red blood cells [RBCs]), or they may be transfused with several different blood products (multicomponent transfusion). The existing literature on blood product utilization has largely focused on describing individual blood product usage, consequently ignoring patients who receive multicomponent transfusions . Multicomponent transfusion recipients differ from patients transfused with only one type of blood product, as they likely have higher illness acuity or a very different medical condition, which would necessitate the transfusion of several different blood components.…”

BACKGROUND: Most studies reporting on blood component utilization overlook patients transfused with more than one type of blood product (multicomponent transfusion). These patients are of importance, as they are large consumers of blood products and likely have different characteristics and outcomes than nontransfused patients and patients transfused with only one blood component type. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of multicomponent transfusion at a large multisite academic center, as well as the patient characteristics and outcomes associated with multicomponent transfusion. METHODS:A retrospective cohort study of transfused adult inpatients at the Ottawa Hospital between 2007 and 2017 was performed. Eligible transfusions were red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, plasma, cryoprecipitate, and/or fibrinogen concentrate. Descriptive analyses were done to determine multicomponent transfusion prevalence. Patient characteristics and outcomes associated with multicomponent transfusion were assessed using multivariable regressions. ABBREVIATIONS: aOR = adjusted odds ratio; FP = frozen plasma; FR = fibrinogen replacement; HOMR = Hospital-Patient One-Year Mortality Risk; LOS = length of stay; OHDW = Ottawa Hospital Data Warehouse; PLTs = platelets; TDM = Transfusion Data Mart.From the * Admissions with transfusions of any one type of blood component within 24 hours but not multicomponent transfusions. † P value from chi-square test, t test, or median test for categorical, continuous, or skewed continuous data, respectively. ‡ Internal medicine other than cardiology. § Surgery other than cardiac, vascular, and orthopedic surgeries. || The HOMR score was unavailable for admissions prior to April 2008; data shown are based on a total sample size of n = 49,889.
