Aim: To evaluate Quality Indicators laid by NABH and check the preparedness of our centre for accreditation. Material & methods: A retrospective study was conducted for One year from January 2022 to December 2022 in the blood bank at our hospital. Data was collected from blood bank registries. Detailed analysis was performed and all possible corrective actions were inculcated. Results: A total of 2547 donations was done over a period of one year with an almost 1:1 ratio for Voluntary to Replacement donors. The mean TTI% was 0.6%. The highest Wastage Rate was 5.6% in the month of march. The mean ATR% was 0.25% with a maximum rate of 0.8% in the month of August. Average TAT observed for emergency cases was 32.4 minutes while that for Routine cases was found to be less than two and a half hours with mean of 148.6 minutes. The QC failure for all the three components including PRBC, FFP and Platelets was found to be nil. The ADR’s was found to be 1.26% with maximum cases of vasovagal syncope followed by hematoma. The mean DDR was approximately 12.2%.The mean C:T Ratio in the present study turned out to be 1.82. Conclusion: The overall performance of the blood bank at our tertiary care centre was found to be satisfactory. The study proved to be motivating in many aspects and the lacunae identified will be acted upon promptly.
