Abstract

We conducted a survey regarding the status of transfusion-related effects in National University (corporation) hospitals in fiscal year 2004. Response rate was 98% (43/44). Forty-seven percent (20/43) of universities recorded the incidence of side effects in all transfused cases. Although patient blood material was kept in all facilities before transfusion, only two facilities kept unopened samples. When side effects including suspicious cases occurred, collection of the remainder of transfused blood was performed in 88% of universities. Bacterial cultures of both blood products and the patients' blood were possible in half of the facilities in cases of bacteremia. The standard of investigation submitted to the Japan Red Cross Blood Center was enumerated as follows: requests from the diagnosis and treatment department, the severity of adverse effects, and the transfusion of infectious diseases. These findings emphasize the need for surveys by the transfusion treatment committee to maintain the system for the investigation of side effects, including collection of remaining transfused blood. Consultation by the transfusion division doctor is also important in investigating the cause, the treatment of the side effect, and the selection of further blood products.
