Abstract Care of the patient with massive bleeding involves more than aggressive surgery and infusion of large amounts of blood products. The proper management of massive transfusions—whether they are in trauma patients or other bleeding patients—requires coordination of the personnel in the surgical suite or the emergency department, the blood bank, and laboratory.

Abstract Objective: To describe the main problems posed to a hospital’s blood bank (BB) by a major disaster situation (the11-M terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain). Report of the events: In the terrorist attack of Madrid in March 11, 2004, there were a total of 192 casualties and 1432 individuals who suffered various, usually complex, injuries. At the Gregorio Marañon Hospital 232 victims of the attack were admitted and 32 of them required surgical procedures. On this day there were 122 requests for blood products for 23 patient. Transfusion issues: Patient identification: initially most of transfusion requests arrived without patient’s demographic data nor blood sample; a numeric code was assigned to each case. Blood group testing: only ABO-type and Rh-D antigen were determined. Transfusion policy: patients were transfused with same specific ABO group whenever possible, otherwise with ABO compatible uncrossmatched red blood cells (RBC); for this purpose, retyped group A and O RBC were stored separately. Rh-D negative units were reserved for young D-negative females. Blood donation issues: There was a massive arrival of volunteers to donate blood in a very short period of time, which completely collapsed the BB facilities. It was necessary to improvise for additional space as well as technical staff and paramedical personal to attend to the massive flux of overanxious volunteers. Regular blood donors were rejected in order to guarantee blood supply after the catastrophe. Many volunteers could not donate at the time and a telephone number and address were obtained for recall at a later time if needed. Table I shows the results of HbsAg and HVC testing of blood donated on the day of the catastrophe (group B) compared with donors before the 11-M (group A). Conclusions: At a major public disaster such as the 11-M terrorist attack, donation greatly exceeds the actual needs generated by the catastrophe. Furthermore, this donation is of no use for the immediate needs. Ideally, civil authorities should not encourage blood donation indiscriminately but alert the general population to do so only after an evaluation of available resources and estimated needs. A center’s contingency plan should include: coordination with local authorities and regional blood center; hospital heads and directors should cancel all programmed activities, in particular surgical procedures and divert human effort resources to emergency care of the injured; the BB should reorganize its activities, initially focusing in patient identification and testing, redistribution and retyping of available blood products in order to deliver quickly type specific RBC; after above goals have been met, staff resources should be redistributed for blood collection and processing. Table I: Blood testing results an donation data.

Donor Deferral

Background:  It is the prime duty of transfusion services to provide safe, adequate and timely need of blood and the blood products. Understanding the reasons for donor deferral can help in planning more efficient recruitment strategies and educate and motivate temporarily deferred donors in order to maintain a safe and adequate supply of blood products. Aims of the Study: To evaluate and analyze the blood donor deferral pattern in a tertiary care hospital blood bank and to review its influence on blood safety. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the blood bank, CHRI from the year January 2015 to December 2018. Data like demographic data, clinical history, physical examination, haematological examination, stored in the blood bank was retrived. The donors will be deferred based on standard WHO guidelines. The collected deferral data was analyzed using SPSS software 2011version 20. Results: During the study period there were 7010 registered blood donors. The deferral rate was 5.19%. Among the donor deferrals, females were more commonly deferred ie 31.66%. The deferral rate among voluntary and replacement donors are 4.71% and 11.62% respectively. The rate of permanent deferral (17.86%) was less compared to temporary deferral (82.14%). Among temporary deferral anaemia is the most common cause (27.75%). Seropositive for Hepatitis B is the most common cause for permenant deferral (52.30%). Conclusion: In our study temporary deferral is higher this necessities the need of education, motivation of these donors for future donation to maintain a healthy and safe donor pool.
