Posted February 29, 201213 yr comment_42339 I know that I may ask too much, but anyone can please help me about:1. indication of blood transfusion2. indication of emergency blood transfusion3. indication of massive transfusion4. indication of transfusion before surgery (in my hospital there are doctors who ask for blood before surgery, how about in yours?)5. msbothanks before....novaPS: I have to make a blood transfusion guide for my hospital and I need some references about how detail it should be (does all the laboratory result should be put inside the guide, or just the general laboratory result, eg. Hb for RBC transfusion).

March 5, 201213 yr comment_42489 I think I know what you are trying to do. For the laboratory results for the hospital keep it simple, for blood bank staff make sure they understand why the results for transfusion helps determine transfusion. Once you define what the guidelines are, consult with the pathologist for comments, questions or concerns. Use the AABB manual for guidance. Do you have a blood utilization committee still? If so, they will be able to help determine laboratory guideline for your hospital.

I will try that.in my hospital, the clinician usually only do Hb level test for determining the red cell transfusion. for hemophiliac, we use the coagulation factor level. but for other, it's a kind of no guide. it's complicated by the request form that (made by the red cross) and only ask for the Hb level.
March 6, 201213 yr Author comment_42516 There are some published transfusion guidelines on the internet you might search for.yup. the one in the internet, which given for free, I have it. but if I have to pay, it means problem. I have no credit card (which I don't like), and the rate if I put it to Indonesian rupiah will mean a lot to me.and indication is usually whether too general or too detail. and there are problems like leucodepleted blood which is not done to all of the blood bags in here, or washed rbc which is usually not in the indication guideline.and about msbo, most msbo in the internet is usually for t&s test lab. how about in the hospital that still hasn't done that? like in my hospital which still use the major and minor cross match. so the samples from the internet can't be used in my hospital (even the sample from WHO can't *sigh*).I know that this forum is not only for the people in developed country. so, that's why I ask for some samples in this forum. so I can get the guidelines from many point of views.so, anyone? whoever it is, so I can make comparison, to decide what can be done at the moment, what will be done next, what to hope in the future. pretty, pretty please....

They have contacts all over the world and surely can put you in touch with someone. In fact, they should add a section to their (public) website for international information seekers such as you.
