Key result

Among 2,370 elective surgical patients, preoperative blood cross-matching showed an overall cross-match to transfusion ratio of 1.8, transfusion index of 0.5, and transfusion probability of 61.7%.

Overview

Supports efficient preoperative cross-matching in elective surgery; leaves open whether these benchmarks reduce unnecessary testing across institutions.

Structured PICO

P
Population
2,370 patients undergoing 214 different elective surgical procedures over a 1-year period to evaluate blood utilization practices.
E
Exposure
Evaluation of blood utilization indices (Cross-match to transfusion ratio, Transfusion probability, Transfusion index, MSBOS)
O
Outcome
Blood utilization indices (Cross-match to transfusion ratio, Transfusion probability, Transfusion index, MSBOS)

The study demonstrates adequate overall blood utilization indices for elective surgeries, supporting the use of a maximum surgical blood ordering schedule (MSBOS) to reduce unnecessary cross-matching and blood wastage.

Cite This Study

Negi et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Elective surgical procedures (n=2,370). Preoperative blood cross-matching was evaluated on Cross-match to transfusion ratio (C/T), Transfusion probability (T%), and Transfusion index (TI). Among 2,370 elective surgical patients, preoperative blood cross-matching showed an overall cross-match to transfusion ratio of 1.8, transfusion index of 0.5, and transfusion probability of 61.7%.
