Over the Past several decades blood and blood components have been increasingly, recognized as medication rather than innocuous fluids used to replace modest blood lose at operation. But blood transfusions have the potential for many harmful side
effects.
This study was undertaken to evaluate transfusion accordings to department, sex preoperative hemoglobin values, blood type, transfusion amounts and blood component therapy.
Of a total 34.906 operative cases, 5,793 patients who recived a transfusion during operation were analyze statistically at the Department of anesthesiology, chungnam National University Hospital from January 1985 to September 1992.
@ES The results were as Follows :
@EN 1) The numbers of transfused patient among the 34,906 operative cases were 5.793 cases (16.57%).
2) The number of male transfused was greater than of female and third decade patients was the greatest incidence among the transfused patients.
3) Mostly hemoglobin value in preoperative state was maintained more than 10 mg/dl (85.75%).
4) The blood types of transfused blood were in the great order of A, B, O, AB type.
5) The percentage of one pint transfusion was grad tally decreased and 2~5 paints transfusion was greatest percentage (60.11%).
6) As the amount of blood transfused was increased, the percentage of blood component therapy was increased, and mixed case PRC and FFP was the greatest incidence (46.02%).
