Abstract
Objetive
Anemia is one of the main reasons of admission to the Internal Medicine Service of Basurto's Hospital and it needs transfusion in quite a lot of cases. We show a work about characteristics and adequacy of transfusions.
Patients and method
We included patients admitted and transfunded during 3 months, we did a descriptive analysis and clasificated transfusion in adequate, inadequate and undetermined.
Results
We included 35 transfusions, the average age was 76.9, without differences between sexes; 50% had cardiopathy and 40% had anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy; anemia was chronic in 71.4% and all transfusions were from donors; only 8.5% of relatives were blood donors. 97.1% of transfusions were adequate.
Conclusions
Indications of transfusion usually follow current guides. Doctors and patients' relatives were able to be aware of the incalculable value and the lack of donations. This work allows doctors to use transfusions adequately, avoiding inadequate indications.
