“…As the number of patients needing to undergo cardiac surgery has increased but the number of donors has not increased adequately to meet the needs, it has become more important to avoid blood product wastage. In a study about preventing blood product wastage and reducing the numbers of disposal, Hauk et al highlighted the importance of PBM protocols, hospital staff training, and preparations carried out on the basis of identified needs 15 . In our clinic, we optimized the pre-operative preparation scheme for the supply of blood products according to the needs and the condition of the patient.…”

Objective: Multidisciplinary patient blood management practices reduce costs of blood products and transfusion-related complications in hospitals. Hospital costs are high in pediatric cardiac surgery patients because high hematocrit levels are usually needed; the need for blood products is high due to complex and long surgical procedures; the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) is long, and the use of treatment modalities such as dialysis and ECMO is common in this patient population. Methods: In this retrospective study, we investigated the effects of the use of the multidisciplinary patient blood management protocols on the use of blood products and associated costs by comparing the outcomes of the protocol implemented in the year 2019 to the blood product use and costs of the previous year. In our clinic, 414 patients were operated on in 2019; 230 of them were males and 184 of them were females. Results: Transfusions carried out in adherence to such protocols have reduced mortality rates along with a decline in hospital costs. Conclusions: We, too, achieved a 10% reduction in blood product costs per patient after the implementation of the multidisciplinary patient blood management protocol.

Background Transfusion services aim to maintain sufficient blood inventory to support patients, even with challenges introduced by COVID-19. Objectives To review blood usage and wastage before, during, and after COVID-19 surges, and to evaluate effects on inventory. Methods In a retrospective review, we evaluated the association between time periods corresponding to the initial wave of COVID-19 (pre–COVID-19, quarantine, and postquarantine) and blood usage/wastage. Data were stratified by period, and χ2 testing was used to examine the association between these time periods and blood usage/wastage. Results In the period before COVID-19, the transfusion service used more units, and in the period after quarantine, more units went to waste. Across all time periods, the most-used product was RBCs, and the most wasted product was plasma. A statistically significant association existed between usage (χ2 [6/3209 (0.2%)]) = 24.534; P ≤.001; Cramer V = 0.62), wastage (χ2 [6/775 (0.8%)]) = 21.673; P = .001; Cramer V = 0.118), and time period. The postquarantine period displayed the highest wastage costs ($51,032.35), compared with the pre–COVID-19 period ($29,734.45). Conclusion Changes in blood inventory use and waste are significantly associated with the onset and continuation of COVID-19.
