Article Synopsis
- A study conducted at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital revealed that many blood units crossed-matched for Caesarean sections in Nigeria go unused, contributing to high blood wastage and costs.*
-
- The efficiency of blood usage was assessed using metrics like the cross-match to transfusion (C/T) ratio, which indicated poor utilization with a C/T ratio of 3.1 and over 68% of blood wasted.*
-
- The study recommends implementing a Maximal Surgical Blood Order Schedule (MSBOS) to better estimate blood needs for Caesarean sections, along with tailored blood grouping practices based on patient risk levels.*
