why should be required blood bank
Answers
Answer:
It is also needed for regular transfusions for people with conditions such as thalassaemia and sickle cell disease and is used to make products such as clotting factors for people with haemophilia. There is a constant need for regular blood supply because blood can be stored for only a limited time before use.
Answer:
Quality in transfusion practice must apply to the hospital blood bank or equivalent, because it plays a vital role in ensuring that the correct blood component is supplied for the patient.
The laboratory aspect of the transfusion process is carried out in different ways across the countries of the EU. In some settings a local hospital blood bank manages the blood component inventory and the clinical blood transfusion laboratory services. Elsewhere, the blood establishment provides compatible blood directly to hospitals.
EU Directives require that hospital blood banks implement a quality management system. To maintain a high level of performance in the laboratory, it is essential to monitor the functioning of reagents, equipment, techniques and procedures. Good record keeping and documentation, use of standard operating procedures and laboratory worksheets, and implementation of safety guidelines further improve the quality of performance.
The hospital blood bank is responsible for:
Rapid response to urgent requests for blood components
Checking pre-transfusion samples and requests
Assessing of immunological compatibility between donor and patient
Selecting of suitable blood component for each clinical condition
Safe delivery and handling of blood components
Inventory and stock management
Interactions with the blood establishment.
