Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recently, operation technology and health care environment are continuously improving and changing. An updated MSBOS using current blood usage data is necessary for efficient blood management in the hospital blood bank. METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis based on operation names according to the ICD-9-CM at Severance hospital in 2013. We calculated the average units of red blood cells according to each operation, as well as the total units of RBCs used per each operation and patient. Finally an average unit of RBCs was set for the MSBOS, which were ordered before surgical operation. These analyzed results were compared with the previous reports of our hospital and other hospitals. RESULTS: Transfusion episodes occurred in 3,092 cases, which is only 8.6% of all patients. Total transfused units were 8,230 units, 27% of total RBCs (2,270 units) transfused were used in cardiovascular surgery. Compared with the previous data, the usage of RBCs during surgery was decreased. CONCLUSION: The MSBOS investigated in this study showed some differences in the indicators in 2007. Therefore, regular update of the MSBOS is necessary in each hospital to reflect the advancement of surgical technology.
