Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Transfusion guidelines are not only essential for the optimal use of blood products, but also help reduce transfusion-related adverse reactions and improve patients' outcomes. In this hospital, a transfusion-indication data-entry program based on the national transfusion guidelines was developed and applied to the electronic medical record system in 2016. All transfusion orders, except for emergencies, have been performed using this program since then. This study analyzed the reasons for the transfusion to monitor the blood product usage and provide feedback to clinicians.
