Abstract

At Sher-I-Kashmir institute of medical sciences, Soura Srinagar Kashmirs we, analyzed 1109 transfusion episodes for different blood components for their rationale use. 713(64.2%) were appropriate and 386(35.7%) were inappropriate. This was followed by extensive regular training and education of treating resident staff about rationale use of blood components. There were 833 episodes of transfusion 760 (90.1% ) were found appropriate and 73 (9.9%) were inappropriate <0.5.The distribution of inappropriate use was homogenous for all components and was in the range of 32%-40%- and dropped by 25% fallowing education of treating resident staff.

Keywords: Blood components, Inappropriate, Appropriate, Rationale.
