The study was designed to investigate the quantity and reasons of wastage of blood products. This was an observational study conducted from February 2018 to February 2019 at the National Institute of Blood Disease and Bone Marrow Transplantation (NIBD and BMT), PECHS campus. The study was approved by the institutional review board. Wastage and reasons of wastage for all the blood products were evaluated. Frequencies were calculated by using SPSS version 23.0. A total of 2,880 bags of blood products were available, including 960 each of platelets, packed red cells and fresh frozen plasma. The overall wastage rate was 3.5%. Packed red cells and platelets were fully consumed, yet shortage of supply was observed. However, highest wastage was observed in fresh frozen plasma i.e. 102 bags. Expiry of unused products 60 (59%) followed by broken bags 30 (29%) were two common modes of wastage. Wastage of blood products is a genuine issue in a hospital setup, strategies and plan of action should be discussed and implemented to ensure that they are available when and where they are needed most.
本研究旨在调查血液制品的浪费量及原因。这是一项于2018年2月至2019年2月在PECHS校区的国家血液疾病和骨髓移植研究所（NIBD和BMT）进行的观察性研究。该研究获得了机构审查委员会的批准。对所有血液制品的浪费情况及浪费原因进行了评估。使用SPSS 23.0软件计算频率。共有2880袋血液制品，其中血小板、浓缩红细胞和新鲜冰冻血浆各960袋。总体浪费率为3.5%。浓缩红细胞和血小板已全部用完，但仍存在供应短缺的情况。然而，新鲜冰冻血浆的浪费量最高，即102袋。未使用产品过期60袋（59%）和袋子破损30袋（29%）是两种常见的浪费方式。在医院环境中，血液制品的浪费是一个切实存在的问题，应讨论并实施相关策略和行动计划，以确保在最需要的时候和地点都能获得血液制品。
