Faculty Disclosure
• I have no relevant disclosures for this session
2
Blood Supply
• Multiple Suppliers– Hospital-based Donor Center
– 3 National Suppliers
– National Blood Exchange
– Affiliates/Friendly Regional Hospitals 3
General Utilization Management
Red Blood Cells
• Guidelines– Single unit orders in all non-bleeding patients
– Post-transfusion hemoglobin prior to ordering additional units
– Hemoglobin ≤ 7 g/dL for all medical and surgical inpatients
– Hemoglobin ≤ 8 g/dL for inpatients with Active Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)

General Inventory
Management
Red Blood Cells
• O positive RBCs for
men and women not of
child bearing age for
MTPs

General Inventory

6
Red Blood Cells
• 1 to 10 degree C acceptable range for RBC returns
General Utilization/Inventory Management
Plasma
• Prospective audits
– Plasma orders with INR < 2.0 (or no INR available)
– Weight based dosing
• Low-titer type A plasma for Massive
Transfusion Protocol
7
General Utilization/Inventory Management
Cryoprecipitate
• Prospective audits
– Non-bleeding patients with fibrinogen > 100 mg/dL
– Weight based dosing
• Fibrinogen concentrate is not available at our
institution

Condition of patient Platelet count (x103/mcL)
Stable inpatient: < 5
Febrile inpatient or recent hemorrhage: < 10
Patient on prophylactic anticoagulation (BMT VOD or DVT PPX): < 10
Outpatient or pediatric patient: < 20
Active bleeding or invasive procedure: < 50
Stable premature infants: < 50
ECMO patient: < 80

General Inventory Management
Platelets
• Extend to 7 days with secondary bacterial testing
• Titer all group O units for anti-A/B
• Split units when inventory is low:

Shortage severity Platelet Count (x1011) Eligible Recipients
Mild 5.0-5.9 Any
Medium 4.0-4.9 Prophylactic
High 4.0-4.9 Any

After a trauma filled night… We have 10 O pos on the way. Platelets will improve when our standing orders arrive and when labeling can be done.

Blood Utilization Measures:• Best Practice Alert modified to support
more restrictive transfusion triggers• Hgb </= 6.5 for stable non-bleeding
inpatients• Hgb </= 7.5 for patient with ACS
• Closely monitor patients requiring significant blood product support (MTPs, other high utilization situations)
Blood Utilization Measures:• Activate Transfusion Triage Team (TTT)
to prospectively audit all RBC orders for patients requiring >1 RBC unit per day
• Split units; provide ½ unit transfusions to non-bleeding inpatients
• Place an upper-limit on blood use for MTPs and other bleeding situations
• For outpatient Heme/Onc: only single unit transfusions; do not transfuse forHgb >/=7.5

Best Practice Advisory (BPA)

Crisis Management - Plasma
• Hospital-based Donor Center– Increased whole blood collections for RBCs resulted in
increased FFP units
– Increased apheresis AB plasma collections
• Expand acceptable criteria for return to inventory– Room temperature transported units returned within </= 4
hours of dispense
– Coolers units returned within </= 8 hours of dispense, units are cool to the touch and ice or cold packs are present
18
Crisis Management - Cryoprecipitate
• Increased use of single units
• Updated our transfusion policy to allow for any ABO
type to be used for adult patients1
– The probability of making a pool of cryoprecipitate with a
titer ≥1:100 was calculated to be less than 1:3,000,0002
• Fixed dose of 2 pools for adults

consideration of ABO group. Transfusion. 2021 Jan;61(1):29-34.
Crisis Management - Platelets• Increase internal collections
• Expand acceptable criteria for return to inventory– Returned within </= 4 hours of dispense AND swirling
– Platelets stored on ice, preferentially give to trauma/bleeding patients
• Prospective audits– Audit all requests for platelets
– Stricter thresholds
– Defer/decline prophylactic transfusions
• Accept all types of platelet products from suppliers
