輸血前管理: 患者登録制度について

抄録

The registration system of patients for blood transfusion has been carried out for four years in Kobe University Hospital. Patients are registered in the Blood Transfusion Service immediately after admission to our hospital. The registered patient is serially numbered and examined for the blood type of ABO system and D antigen of Rh system and atypical antibodies.
The registration system has merits indicated below:
1. The registered number (numbers of one to four figures) is used in place of the name. The business in blood transfusion is simplified.
2. Compatible blood for patients with atypical antibodies can be selected in advance.
3. The blood type of ABO system and D antigen of a patient are doubly checked by a docter in charge and a technician in the Blood Transfusion Service. The blood types and the presence of atypical antibodies of the patient can be confirmed when blood is delivered from the Blood Transfusion Service.
