| Abstract |
Background
6.1% of red blood cells and whole blood issued to the operating room was not transfused to the patients and discarded in Seoul National University Hospital in 1994. Objectives
We planned to set up an effective management program of blood in the operating room and we investigated whether this program could reduce the disposal rate of blood.
Methods
We made a guideline of blood management in the operating room through a workshop. The guideline was revised after a preliminary application. The revised guideline was applied for 5 months from May to September in 1996. The disposal rate was compared before and after the installation of the new program.
Results
5,336 units of blood were issued to the operating room for 5 months. Disposal rate of red blood cells and whole blood was markedly reduced from 6.2% in May to 2.1% in September(p<0.05). The average disposal rate was 3.7% during the five months.
Conclusion
We were able to reduce the disposal of unused blood in the operating room through the development and the application of a new blood management program. |
