Background:Medical science has progressed tremendously over the years but, as yet there is no substitute for blood and thus, blood transfusion is essential part of modern-day health care. The implementation of quality system and continuous evaluation of all activities of the Blood Transfusion Services (BTS) can help to achieve the maximum quantity and quality of safe blood. Optimizing blood collection and processing would reduce the rate of discard and improve the efficiency of the Blood Transfusion Services.
Methods:A case series descriptive study was conducted at Bagalkot Blood Bank, Bagalkot. The study included all 4045 records of blood donors entered in the blood bank register in one year during 2012 in Bagalkot Blood Bank and the same were analysed.
Results:In the present study out of the 4045 blood donors, 26.48% were of the age group 20-29years, 95.64% being male and 50.43% were from urban areas. 85.19% were replacement donations. Most of the blood donors were of B blood group (31.32%). Of the 4045 units of blood collected, 231(5.71%) were discarded for various reasons. Main reasons for discarding blood were HBsAg (64.5%) positivity, followed by HIV (16.45%), HCV (11.26%), Syphilis (0.87%), Sterility (6.49%) and Expired (0.43%). Seroprevalence of HBsAg, HIV, HCV and Syphilis were 3.68%, 0.94%, 0.64% and 0.05% respectively.
Conclusions:The present study revealed more male donors of the age group 20-29 years, 85.19% being replacement donors and mostly (31.32%) being B Blood group. Sero-positivity for HBsAg (3.68%) was found to be higher among all the blood donations.
