Background: Efforts to reduce the wastage of blood components are necessary because of the shortage of blood components. To find ways of reducing the blood component wastage, we monitored the trends and reasons for wastage and we analyzed this data.
Methods:We have investigated and analyzed the amount and reasons for wastage from 2003 to 2005 by reviewing the wastage statements, and the information on these wastage statements was classified according to several aspects. Ouestions about the reasons for wastage and the methods for reducing such wastage were created and these were widely distributed to the doctors and nurses working at Pusan University Hospital. The results of the survey were analyzed.
Results: The wastage rates of blood component from 2003 to 2005 had a tendency to slightly decline: 1.49% in 2003, 1.26% in 2004 and 1.23% in 2005. The most frequent reason for wastage was the improvement in the patient’s condition and the second most frequent reason was death of the patient. The favorite answers for the question about the most likely reason for wastage were related to different aspects of medicine, and also to the improvement in the patient’s condition (52.6%) and the death of patient (22.6%) for the aspect of blood management, the most frequent answers were overcharge (43.3%) and delay of blood returning (17.7%). The analysis of the pattern of wastage showed that only 5 departments were responsible for 71.5%∼78.1% of the wastage.
Conclusion: Systematic and active management of the transfusion process, along with intensive cooperation of clinicians, is needed to prevent a considerable amount of blood component wastage.
