This is different than the way it was done before.  This is because what used to be called a "five pack" or 5 units of platelets, is now identified by CBS as a SINGLE ADULT TRANSFUSION UNIT of platelets, and has a single sticker.  Thus we will now refer to this as ONE UNIT of platelets.

Additional Info

Do NOT COUNT or INCLUDE BEFORE admission as a procedure unless the transfusion caused a complication: A complication of transfusion would be, for example; transfusion reaction, CHF

  • Include all blood products given during the admission, including blood products given in Hemodialysis, the OR, and blood products given during plasmapheresis

Definition of a single unit

  • Definition of a single unit:
    • A single unit is what the blood bank (Canadian Blood Services) says it is. A single unit is accompanied by a single, unique sticker that is put by nursing on the Blood Products Administration Record in hospital charts.
    • So, the number of units you record should equal the number of stickers on the record.
