Additional Info
- Use this code ONCE for EACH separate day that any amount of platelets are transfused.
- For each such day, also code the NUMBER OF UNITS TRANSFUSED.
- Here is how we recognize 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.
- 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.
