| Abstract |
|
With the blood donor population shrinking as the number of senior citizens rise, the effective use of blood products is
becoming more and more important. In this study, we analyzed the rate and causes of discarded blood components in order to
help reduce the rate of unnecessary wastage. From January 2010 to June 2013, the number and rate of and reasons for
discarded blood components at Jeju national university hospital were analyzed using computerized medical records and
archived documents. The number of blood products issued during the period was 49,330 units and the number of discarded
blood was 304 units (0.6%). The wastage rate of red blood cell (RBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and platelet (PLT) was 0.2%,
1.4% and 0.9%, respectively. The most common cause of discarded RBC was a preparing for operation or procedure. That of
FFP was a death of patient and that of PLT was an improvement in the patient’s condition. The decreasing rate of blood
wastage was recently increased. The wastage rate of FFP was high due to unnecessary excessive order. Because of the
geography of island, PLT and Rh-negative RBCs have been overbooked and so often discarded. |
