Platelet transfusions in clinical practice at a multidisciplinary hospital in North India
چکیده انگلیسی
Specialty wise utilization pattern of platelet concentrates (PLT) over a period of 2 months was evaluated prospectively for appropriateness. Overall 4.87 random donor platelets (RDP) (total 1672) units were issued per request. A total of 1101 RDP (66%) were transfused prophylactically against 221 requests (64.4%) while, 571 RDP were transfused for therapeutic (requests = 122, 35.6%) reasons. Twenty-three percent of prophylactic requests and 15% of the therapeutic requisitions were not justified. Most common reason for unjustified prophylactic transfusion was unavailability of pre-transfusion platelet count. Concurrent screening of request forms to ensure optimized PLT usage may further decrease platelet misuse at our center.
