@drkeithsiau Severe anaemia alone is a risk factor for TACO where patients are transfused and giving multiple units will increase this risk. All plans to transfuse non acute bleeding should include a TACA risk assessment which should be documented in the notes. 2/2

[UHB Transfusion @UHB_Transfusion]

@drkeithsiau Yep.

Also… Important to remember that chronic iron deficient patients don’t need transfusing multiple units. Max. 1 and IV Iron (unless contraindicated), speak to Haem if tempted to give a 2nd unit, but 1 unit will increase oxygen carrying capacity by nearly 50% here.

1/2

We are all too aware of the risks associated with interruptions/distractions in healthcare. Please consider assisting with this research in safe management of interruptions.

Many thanks to all of the staff who have made time to attend training in the new blood fridges over the last few weeks at Queen Elizabeth Hospital @uhbtrust. We went live with the system yesterday meaning there is now better traceability and access to blood components 🥳

[Jessica Jones 🅰️➕ @JessCaldecott]

Yesterday was a very proud day for us @UHB_Transfusion after too many months of blood (actual usually in unit form), sweat and tears (usually mine ) we went live with bloodtrack at QE... 6 haemobank 80s, 1 haemobank 20 and 6 kiosks on other storage devices all working!
