Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of a bar code-based identification system for the pre-transfusion check at the bedside in the setting of pre-operative autologous blood donation (PABD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between July 2003 and December 2008 we determined the compliance rate and causes of failure of electronic bedside checking for PABD transfusion.
RESULTS: A total of 5627 (9% of all transfusions) PABD units were administered without a single mistransfusion. The overall rate of compliance with electronic checking was 99%.
CONCLUSIONS: The bar code-based identification system was applicable to the pre-transfusion check for PABD transfusion.
