Abstract

Background and Objectives

Blood consumption and request are the major challenge in the patient blood management program in hospitals at the present time. Blood request and consumption data for each part are important to estimate the amount of transfusion and blood ordering. In this study, transfusion and cross-matching status were evaluated in different wards of the two biggest hospitals in northwest of Iran.

Materials and Methods

In the present descriptive, retrospective study, the data of cross matching and blood transfusion were collected from hospitals of Tabriz, and the C/T ratio was calculated. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics using SPSS software version 18.

Results

Of the 36210 blood units cross-matched, 19329 units had been transfused and about 46.6% were left unused. In total the C/T ratio was 1.9. The C/T ratio was the highest in the maxillofacial ward (10.4) and the lowest in ICU (1.3).

Conclusions

The C/T ratio is above compared with MSBOS tables in the world. Blood ordering is more than required; therefore, it is suggested that the policy be reassessed for hospital blood ordering and the patient blood management programs be implemented to reduce the transfusion ratio.
