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

It has become apparent that there is a discrepancy in the way this is collected amongst the sites. HSC- Does not count any blood products given during dialysis, plasmapheresis (note plasmaphersis is CCI pick code first time only), or during an OR that occurs during the admission SBGH - Includes blood products given during HD and plasmapheresis, but not OR procedures GGH - Counts blood products given in the OR, if the OR occurs during the admission timeframe, GGH does not have HD or plasmapheresis We do not report on blood products, and according to Julie no one has ever asked for this information. Important to note why are we collecting this information?, do we need to talk to our users? is this for workload? Bloodbank has their own database, could we tap into this? and stop collecting this altogether? Lisa Kaita 14:44, 30 January 2025 (CST)

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.
