A clinical audit of the utilisation of red blood cell products in elective total hip replacement surgery

Thesis (MTech (Biomedical Sciences))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015. / Previous international studies have documented a marked variation in transfusion practice for Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery. This is despite widespread dissemination of clinical guidelines for the use of blood products. The cost and potential wastage of blood products as well as concerns regarding patient care and outcomes are important drivers of optimal blood management.
The aim of this study was to audit red cell product utilisation for THR surgeries at two tertiary referral hospitals.
