Procédure régionale de transport des produits sanguins labiles par le samu

Transfusions are exceptional while patients are rushed to hospital for sanitary reasons. The quality of care requires the collaboration with different partners (samu, blood bank centre, haemovigilance correspondents…). In response to dysfunctions that occurred during transports for sanitary reasons we have drawn up a regional procedure, which specifies how to get and use blood products. This procedure harmonizes our medical practice, states the role of the different participants (traceability of blood samples of immunohaematology tests, etc.), including a part dedicated to identity vigilance. The expected impacts of this procedure are: the decrease of dysfunctions and of destructions of red blood cells, the improvement of security while patients are transfused.
