CONSENT FOR TRANSFUSION—Refer to APPENDIX 3 (Page 28)
The patient must give informed consent for transfusion. The clinician in charge of the patient has a responsi-
bility to explain the benefits, risk and alternative to transfusion therapy and ensure that the patient comprehends the
issues discussed. Other than in emergency, the patient should be given opportunity to ask questions, and his/her
informed decision be documented. If the patient is unable to give consent, a responsible family member must
be asked to do so. If no family member is available or in emergency when the need for transfusion leaves no time
for consent, it is prudent to note this in the patient’s medical note. The informed consent for blood transfusion is valid from the time the patient is admission till the time of dis-
charge. If the patient requires multiple transfusions during the same admission, no additions inform consent is required.
MSBOS(Maximum Surgical Blood Order Schedule)—Refer to APPENDIX 2 (Page 27)
MSBOS is a table of elective surgical procedures which list the number of units of blood routinely requested
and cross matched for them preoperatively.
The schedule is base on retrospective analysis of actual blood usage associated with the individual surgi-cal procedure.
Please see attachment of MSBOS of Hospital Batu Pahat.
GSH (Group, Screen & Hold)
GSH is for cases that are unlikely to be transfused during surgery, however when antibody screen is positive, compatible blood must be made available.
After GSH the sample will keep for 72hours, if blood is requires within 72hours, will proceed for further cross matching.
A GSH should be used in conjunction with a Maximum Surgical Blood Order Schedule (MSBOS).
BLOOD TAKING AND LABELING—Refer to APPENDIX 4 (Page29)
The process of taking and labeling blood samples must be done in one process at the bedside, one patient only at any time. The doctor performing this must ensure:
1. The patient is correctly identified. The doctor taking the blood sample must read the wristband, if available,
and whenever possible, ask the patient to state his/her full name. This information must be checked against the
case notes.
2. Unconscious patient MUST be identified by the information given on the identity band, such as the
wristband.
3. An emergency casualty who cannot be reliable identified must be given and identity band with a unique num-ber. This number must be used to identify this patient until full and correct personal details are available
4. The person who takes the blood and the person who labeled the blood sample must be same person.
5. The sample must be labeled clearly and accurately at patient’s bedside immediately after blood taking. Use only hand written label and never use preprinted label for labeling sample. The label should include the patient’s full name, hospital registration number or Identity card number.
6. Never label samples from 2 or more patients at the same time.
7
FILLING BLOOD REQUST FORM—Refer to APPENDIX (Page 30)
Prescribing blood and blood products is the responsibility of the doctor managing the patient. However, the doctor is encouraged to consult the doctor in-charge of the Blood Bank on the products to be given, the quantity, the duration of infusion, the precautions to be taken and any other related matters
1. The request form should be completely filled and contain relevant patient information(Full name, IC,
Sex, Reason for transfusion, blood group if known, previous transfusion reaction and etc). No preprinted
label is allowed. Please make sure your hand writing is clearly written and not confusing.
2. The hospital registration number (R/N) should be used on the request form for patients who, at the time
of admission, cannot be reliably identified. This R/N must be ‘unique’ and any investigations for this
patient must be identified using this number. When the patient’s full and correct details are available the
ward personnel should accurately communicate this information to the Blood Bank.
3. The quantity and the approximate time when the blood and blood component would be required must be
stated. Requests for blood to be made available “as soon as possible / STAT” should be avoided as this
would not assist the blood bank personnel in determining priorities.
4. he request form should be signed by the requesting doctor and his/her name should be stamped or written
clearly in block letters.
BLOOD REQUEST IN NEWBORN / CHILDREN
1. For infant less than 4 month of age, blood sample must be accompanied by mother’s blood sample.
2. For baby /child using parent’s IC, please filled up the detail of the infant as shown below:
Nama : B/O Kamariah Bt Othman / Name of the child (Father/Mother’s name)
Kad Pengenalan : 840223-01-5029M2
COLLECTING BLOOD / BLOOD COMPONENTS—Refer to APPENDIX 7, 8 & 9 (Page 32 – 36)
The person collecting the blood must bring documentary proof of the patient’s identity. At the time of collection, both blood bank personnel and the person collecting the blood must check that these details match those of the blood unit to be collected. Date and time of issues & collection, name of blood bank personnel & per-son collecting must be recorded.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT OF BLOOD / BLOOD COMPONENTS —Refer to APPENDIX 8 & 9 (Page 35-37)
M1 — 1st child M2 — 2nd child M3 — 3rd child Note:
Please write down the child’ date of birth /
8
Notes: First 50ml of each unit should be transfused slowly as it serves as an in vivo compatibility testing.
Major blood transfusion reaction will develop within seconds after the transfusion started.
ADMINISTRATION OF BLOOD / BLOOD COMPONENTS
—Refer to APPENDIX 6, 7, 10 (Page 32 – 37)
Each unit of blood component supplied from the Blood Bank should be accompanied by a compatibility label. This should carry the following information.
1. At the time of transfusion the information on the compatibility label accompanying the blood component must be checked carefully against the patient’s identification details on the blood request from and patient’s case notes, including the patient’s wristband.
2. Blood should not be transfused if any of the details; especially the name and identification card number of
the patient does not match exactly with that given on the accompanying compatibility label or the blood
request form.
3. Blood should not be transfused if there is deviation from the usual condition. Blood should be checked
macroscopically for any alteration in color of the blood, presence of clot, leakage, etc. The blood bank
should be informed immediately for appropriate measures to be taken and the blood must be returned to the
blood bank. PRETRANSFUSION MEDICATIONS
Prophylactic medication to prevent transfusion reaction is still controversial.
Premedication such as antipyretic, antihistamine or corticosteroid can be administer (oral/IV route) 30-60minutes before transfusion for individual with history allergic or urticarial reactions to transfu-sions in the past.
PATIENT MONITORING DURING TRANSFUSION The patient’s vital signs, including temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure should be recorded during:
Before starting the transfusion (As a baseline)
As soon as the transfusion is started
15 minutes after starting transfusion
At least every hour of transfusion
On completion of transfusion
4 hour after completion of transfusion
TIME LIMITS FOR INFUSION OF BLOOD COMPONENTS—Refer to APPENDIX 10 (Page 37)
NIGHT TIME TRANSFUSION
Where the clinical condition permits, then transfusion at night must be avoided whenever possible, except for emergency cases as:
There is difficulty in visually detecting reactions.
Lower staffing levels make it difficult to carry out the observations in a timely fashion.
Risk of Blood Transfusion Reaction might be happen unnoticed If Transfusion must occur at night,
The light above the patient must remain on while the patient is being transfused.
It should be ensured that sufficient number of staff is available to monitor the patient.
Major Transfusion Reaction is life threatening, qualified Medical personal must be available imme-diately in this situation.
9
USAGE OF BLOOD WARMER
There is no evidence that warming blood is beneficial to patient when infusion is slow (1unit over 2 hour). Blood warmers are used to minimize the incidence of cardiac arrest and arrhythmias associated with mas-sive transfusion of cold blood components. Use of blood warmers should be limited to patients receiving multiple, rapid transfusion at rates of >50ml/kg/hr in adults and 15ml/kg/hr in children, and infants undergoing ex-change transfusion. Blood warmer to be used must have a visible thermometer and audible warning service. How-ever keeping the patient warm is probably more important than warming the infused blood.
DRUGS / FLUIDS ADMINSTRATION DURING TRANSFUSION
Red cell concentrates may be diluted with sodium chloride 0.9% to improve the flow rate. This is most simply achieved by using a Y pattern blood administration set. No solutions should be added to any blood compo-nent. This may contain additives such as calcium which can cause citrated blood to clot. Dextrose solution can ly-ses red cells.
Medicines should never be added directly to any blood components, if there is an adverse reaction during
transfusion, it may be impossible to determine whether this is due to the blood, to the added drug or to an interaction of the two.
If an intravenous fluid other than normal saline, or a colloid, has to be given at the same time as blood com-
ponents, it should preferably be given through a separate IV line to avoid any risk of these problems. In a
situation when the transfusion line is the only venous access available and a medication has to be given, the trans-
fusion must be stopped and the tubing should be flush with 0.9% normal saline before and after injecting the medi-
cation to prevent direct mixing of the blood and medication. The transfusion can then be resumed.

TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD PRODUCT FROM CLOSED FAMILY MEMBERS / RELATIVE
Blood transfusion within closed family / relative is not advisable.
There is risk of develop of delayed type of blood transfusion complication(Graft versus host disease)
Graft versus host disease occurs in situations.
Blood donor is homozygous and the recipient is heterozygous for an HLAhalotype (usually relative blood)
Immunodeficient patients
This type of delayed type of transfusion complication is cause by donor T Lymphocytes prolifera-
tion and attacking recipient’s tissues.
Prevention of Graft versus host disease in blood transfusion :
Avoid Transfusion of blood products from closed family members / relatives.
Gamma irradiation of blood products before transfusion (Facility not available in Hospital Batu

GUIDELINES IN CLINICAL USE OF BLOOD / BLOOD COMPONENTS
RED BLOOD CELL TRANSFUSION
In deciding whether to transfuse red blood cells, the patient’s hemoglobin level, although important, should
not be the sole deciding factor. Patient signs and symptoms of hypoxia, ongoing blood loss, the risk to the pa-
tient of anemia and the risk or transfusion should be considered. Please refer to the following checklist be-
fore making any decision for blood transfusion:
Tak-en from: “The
Clinical Use of Blood by World Health Organization, Blood Transfusion Safety”
14
TRANSFUSION IN ANEMIA
Blood transfusion should only be considered when the anemia is likely to cause or has already reduced the
oxygen supply to a level that is inadequate for the patient’s needs.
Transfusion is rarely needed for patients with chronic anemia. Many transfusion are given that:
Do not give the patient any benefit and may do harm.
Could have been avoided by rapid and effective treatment not involving transfusion.
DO NOT TRANSFUSE MORE THAN NECESSARY. IF ONE UNIT OF RED CELLS IS ENOUGH TO CORRECT SYMPTOMS, DO NOT GIVE TWO UNITS.
Patient with severe anemia may be precipitate into cardiac failure by infusion of blood. If transfusion is
necessary, give one unit, preferable of red cell concentrate, over 2 to 4 hours and give rapid acting diuretic.
TRANSFUSION TRIGGERS

Laboratory QA Programme - National Indicator Approach
PROGRAMME : Laboratory QA Programme (Transfusion)
AREA OF CONCERN : Transfusion for Group and Crossmatch blood .
INDICATOR : CROSSMATCH : TRANSFUSION (C:T) RATIO
Rationale : This indicator is to assess the app ropriateness of crossmatching of blood in comparison to
the unit s of blood transfused. A C/T ratioof more than 2.5:1 reflects inappropriateness of crossmatching and thus lead to the increase in workload, cost, wastage and compromises in the quality of blood.
Definition of Terms :
Crossmatch Is a compatibility test carried out on patient’s serum with donor red blood cells before
blood is transfused.
Transfusion Is the infusion of crossmatched whole blood or red cell concentrate to the pa-
tient.
C:T Ratio C:T ratio is: Number of units of blood
Number of units of blood
Inclusion criteria : All crossmatches done in blood bank
Exclusion criteria : Safe Group O blood given without crossmatch in an emergency.
Type of Indicator : Efficiency.
Numerator : Number of units of blood crossmatched
Denominator : Number of units blood transfused
Standard : No greater than 2.5 : 1
