Background: Blood is a very special product to use for patients treatment. In order to have better plan to supply enough blood and on time according to the needs of clinics, studying to explore the trend, the needs of using blood and its products in clinics are very necessary. Objective: to identify needs using blood and blood products for patients with blood-related diseases at National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion from 4/2005 - 03/2006. Subjects and methods: The retrospective study was carried out on all of the data about using blood and blood products for patients with blood- related diseases about: Name of patient, age, diagnosis. Kind of blood products, blood group, the time using blood and blood products. Result: The trend using of blood and blood products of clinics has increased (increased 1.64 times) from 2,132 units in April 2005 to 3,499 units in March 2006. Blood products are used 100%.T consumption seemed to increase during months at the end and earlier of year, especially March 2006. Red cell concentrate used mostly. 0 blood type was used most often. Conclusion: Identifying needs using blood for patients with blood-related disease in clinics are base in order to National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion has planned to collect, screen and make blood products to assure supplying blood and blood products enough and safety. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'

In this descriptive-comparative study, 480 blood donors (211 professional blood donors and 269 voluntary blood donors) were interviewed, and there were 17 deep interviewing for representatives of local authorities, women union, and health staff working in blood transfusion system in 3 provincial hospitals. The result of study is as follows: 26.1% of PBD group and 14.9% of VBD group were poor understandings about blood donation. 87.2% of PBD group giving blood for money. PBD group has been giving blood for many years. They often give their blood at many different hospitals, and the time interval between two times of blood donation of PBD group was not sufficient

After 4 years with blood donation mobilization and blood component production, we obtain encouraging results, as following: 1. Renovation on blood donor source, from 90% of professional donor in 1993, down to 53% in 1997. 2. Blood collection volume is increased 3 times in 1997 in comparison to the collection in 1993. 3. Blood transfusion is ensured to be safer than in the past, by systemic application of screening test of HBV, HCV and HIV. Through screening, we detected thousands peoples with positive HBsAg, hundreds of positive anti HCV and anti HIV. These take an important part to ensure blood transfusion safety. 4. It is separated into 4 basic blood components, with packed red cell, platelet concentrated, frozen fresh plasma and cryoprecipitate. 5. It takes about 70% of partial blood transfusion among total blood transfused in 1997, compared to less than 10% before year’s 1994. Obviously, blood donation mobilization takes benefit not only for treatment service, but also for blood transfusion safety and people health care with high economic value.

During 5 years period(1994-1998) blood donor motivation and blood component preparation, encouraging results have been achieved: 1. Renew of blood resources with 90% of donors was professional in 1993 changed to 53% and 37% in 1997 and 1998, respectively. 2. Blood collection volume per year raised 4 times in comparing with the data in 1993 (800 litres to 2,850 litres in 1998). 3. 1,000 of donors with HBsAg(+) and 100 of donors with anti-HCV(+) and anti-HIV(-) have been excluded by screening. 4. 4 basic blood component have been prepared including red cell concentrates, platelet concentrates, fresh frozen plasma and anti haemophilia A cryoprecipitates. 5. 70% of clinical transfusion carried out with blood components and blood transfusion reaction have been decreasing. 6. Obviously, blood donor motivation gave a lot of advantage to patient treatment, blood transfusion safety, health care system with better economic effectiveness.

The volunteers have higher quality of hemoglobin than the regular donors. Hb standard for donation is 120 g/l. The volunteers have 94.9% reaching the standard but 5.1% of the regular donors. The volunteers have higher incidence of infectous diseases than the regular donors except the syphilis. It is important to do the P24-HIV to reduce the window period. The volunteers are the good donation, the humanitarian donors.

platelets transfusions to 24 patients treated from 1/7 to 15/9/2000 indicated that one unit of apheresis platelets count by 52.The effectiveveness of apheresis platelets prepared by cell seperator 3000 plus. A descriptive study of 33 apheresis 232 +/- 10.457 x 109/l & 37.091 +/- 12.032x 10.9/l 1 & 24 hour after transfusion respectively in a 51.3+/- 4.3 kg Vietnamses. There was a significant difference in platelets count increament between 1 hour and 24 hour after transfusion in patients with fever or heamorrhage

At the first step of studying about “the volume of cord blood” in Vietnamse, a total of 50 samples have been collected. We obtained some results: - The mean volume of cord blood was: 50.06 +/- 20,73ml. -The mean number of total mononuclear cells was 352.4 +/- 161.6 (x106). -Some cord blood colections had many total MNC as some larger cord blood harvests. So, it is our belief that total MNC numbers are more useful indicator of clinical utility than more sample volume.

By studying the blood viscosity from 313 healthy people, 90 patients with hypertension, 20 patients with cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and 9 patients with polycythemia Vera (PV). The authors found that: The blood viscosity of the health people is from 3.21-5.19. The blood viscosity of the patients with hypertension is from 3.38-5.82. There was no difference from the viscosity of the health people (p>0.01). The blood viscosity of the patients with CVA is from 4.43-7.13; and of the patients with PV is from 6.31-7.87; Both of them are significantly difference from the viscosity of the healthy people (p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively).
