Abstract Background and Objectives
Blood transfusion plays a critical role in health system. However, one of the main problems is the excessive order of blood in teaching hospitals. The aim of the study was to investigate the current pattern of blood order and consumption at three teaching hospitals in Kerman city.
Materials and Methods
In a cross-analytical study, blood order forms for 3182 patients were collected from three hospitals from May to July 2010. C/T ratio and TI were analyzed with descriptive statistics and frequency table tests.
Results
The overall ratios of C/T (Crossmatch/Transfusion) and TI (Transfusion Index) were 1.33 and 1.81, respectively. The results are considered to be desirable as compared with the standard figures of C/T≤ 2.5 and TI ≥ 0.5. Out of 7731 blood orders, the highest number pertained to heart surgery wards with 1704 (22%), and the least to ophthamology ward with 7 (0.09%).
Conclusions
Our results show that blood order and consumption in three teaching hospitals in Kerman city during 3 months were desirable. Although in comparison with other studies in Iran inconsistencies in blood order and consumption were seen. In conclusion, it is essential to prepare blood order and consumption protocols according to our regional conditions to improve the blood transfusion status.
