To use:
- {{CCI Guideline Transfusions}}
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

can we please reconsider if we should count all plasma given during plasmapheresis? We only count the first time plex is done, so is it relevant how many are given during plasma? Lisa Kaita 08:17, 24 March 2026 (CDT) |
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.
