ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical application of suspended red blood cells in Liuzhou,in order to make the transfusion of blood components more reasonable and safer.Methods Retrospective data were collected from 226 patients,who had received the transfusion of 980 units of suspended red blood cells between 2000 and 2006.Results Suspended red blood cells could be used widely to different kinds of patients,and most patients benefit from the treatment.The transfusion of leuko-reduced RBC was even more effective.The age,gender,category of disease,disease severity,hemoglobin level and the amount of transfusion were the key points that affect the therapeutic effect of transfusion.Traumatic hemorrhage was another important factor.Unreasonable clinical transfusion still exists.Conclusion Transfusion of suspended red blood cells is an effective treatment.But when and how to transfuse depend on individual cases.
