Abstract:
Objective: To establish a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology-based emergency release process of uncrossmatched type O red blood cells for trauma patients, thereby providing a reference method for blood inventory management. Methods: The medical records of uncrossmatched type O red blood cell suspension released from Jan 2023 to Dec 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The pre-implementation (2023, n=23) and post-implementation (2024, n=19) data of the RFID technology-based emergency uncrossmatched transfusion management method were compared to evaluate its effectiveness. Results: During the study period, 42 patients received a total of 92 units uncrossmatched type O red blood cell suspensions in emergency, with no case of hemolytic transfusion reactions reported. Traffic accidents were the primary cause of emergency uncrossmatched transfusion, accounting for 66.7% (28/42) of cases. The patients in observation group were significantly older than those in the control group (60.58y vs 48y, P<0.05), with a trend toward more critical trauma conditions (84.2% vs 56.5%, P=0.053). Among 29 critically injured patients, the blood release time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (2 min vs 4 min, P<0.05). After excluding deceased patients, the observation group showed shorter hospitalization duration compared to the control group (18.5 d vs 35.58 d, P<0.05). Patients treated with a high red blood cell-to-plasma ratio demonstrated a significantly higher resuscitation success rate compared to those with a low ratio (64.3% vs 30%, P<0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of the RFID technology-based emergency uncrossmatched transfusion management method can significantly reduce the blood release time, shorten average hospitalization duration, improve treatment efficiency, and ensure transfusion safety for trauma emergency patients.
