pbaker Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 We are currently building the Bridge system for transfusion documentation. I know AABB and CAP standards require "amount transfused" to be in the patient record. Does anyone know if this is by individual unit transfused or a cumulative amount?

SMILLER Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 As a nursing task, the amount for each transfusion needs to be documented, if I am not mistaken. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoertzen Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 For routine transfusions, each transfusion should include the volume of the product given. In massive transfusions, however, it is often common for them to track/document just the total cumulative volume of each type of product given during the massive bleed event.
