Abstract :

Transfusion services are aimed to provide only those components which patients require and keep the rest for others. Blood component transfusion is critical due to lack of alternative; and therefore should be used rationally. This study were performed to find out the scenario of rational use of blood components in the patients transfused in S.G.M.H and G.M.H. , a tertiary care hospital affiliated with S.S.Medical College, Rewa (M.P.), .In this 3 month prospective study, a total of 1240 blood components ( Packed Cell, PRP and FFP) were transfused to 738 patients, with males to female ratio of 1.29 , maximum units of packed red cells were transfused (72.9%), but maximum number of appropriate transfusion were for FFP(67.1%). Overall rational use of blood components in SGMH & GMH came out to be 62.20% Present study concluded that it needs more intense educative efforts to use the blood components appropriately especially for platelet concentrates.
