Abstract:Objective To analyze the effectiveness of quality management on rational use of blood for inpatients from the Second People’s Hospital of Hunan Province and Changsha Central Hospital. Methods The data of clinical blood transfusion among the inpatients in the Second People’s Hospital of Hunan Province and Changsha Central Hospital from 2011 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The statistically-analyzed indicators included volume of allogeneic blood transfusion, total amount of autologous transfusion, per capita amount of allogeneic transfusion of the hospitalized patients, rate of blood component transfusion, number of operations,average amount of intra-operative allogeneic transfusion, and per capita volume of blood transfusion in massive transfused patients. Results From 2011 to 2014, the number of inpatients in both hospitals increased year by year,and the total volume of allogeneic blood transfusion was also raised, but the growth rate of clinical transfusion was lower than the growth rate of inpatients. The per capita amount of blood transfusion in the inpatients showed a decreasing tendency, while the total amount of autologous transfusion was elevated. The cases of massive transfusion patients, the total consumption of blood products, and the average volume of red blood cell and plasma per massive transfused patient showed negative growth trends. At the same time, the number of operations increased by 28.77%, while the average amounts of intra-operative allogeneic red blood cells and plasma transfusion had decreasing trends. Conclusions Quality management has made certain achievement in the clinical blood transfusion by continuous improvement, and could greatly enhance the scientific, efficient and safe use of blood and effectively save blood resources.
