Background: With blood products being a limited and expensive resource within the healthcare system, there is an ever-increasing emphasis on judicial and appropriate use.
Aims: To evaluate whether implementing contemporary society recommendations on restrictive transfusion policies would reduce inappropriate use of red blood cell transfusions, by evaluating the effect of a staff educational campaign.
Methods: An audit of peri-partum red cell concentrate (RCC) transfusion practice within a tertiary obstetric unit was undertaken, covering a 1-year period (2015), examining data related to transfusion prescribing practices.
