1 CLINICAL GUIDELINE FOR MAXIMUM SURGICAL BLOOD ORDER SCHEDULE (MSBOS) Summary. Start Elective procedure identified, blood requirement listed in guideline Patient attends PAC and has a group and screen (G&S) taken G&S tested in transfusion lab Patient appropriate for electronic issue Yes No G&S taken on admission as required (detail in guideline) G&S taken several days prior to allow crossmatch (detail in guideline) Page 1 of 14 Page 1 of 14

2 Aim/Purpose of this Guideline 1.1. The MSBOS is a guide to help ensure that blood is available at elective surgery This guidance is not absolute: factors other than the type of surgery (low Hb, antiplatelet drugs, bleeding tendency, previous surgery, co-morbidities etc) should be considered with respect to both the choice of hospital site and the availability of crossmatch. Page 2 of 14 Page 2 of 14

3 1. The Guidance 1.1. Important Information: 1.2. There must be a valid Group and Antibody Screen (G+S) specimen in the lab to supply any blood except emergency O Rh D neg 1.3. Emergency O Rh D neg may not be suitable for patients with antibodies 1.4. A G+S specimen is valid for a maximum of 7 days (3 days if transfused or pregnant in the last three months) 1.5. The sole function of a G+S specimen taken in a pre-operative assessment clinic is to identify the presence of red cell antibodies and allow appropriate planning (ie order in antigen negative red cells which may need to come from Bristol). It does not contribute to the availability of blood at surgery for which a specimen < 7 days old must be available 1.6. If there is a risk of significant blood loss at surgery for any procedure then a valid G+S specimen should be supplied within the 7 days preceding surgery Electronic Issued (EI) Red Cells 1.8. Electronic issue is the supply of blood on the basis of an automated confirmed blood group and a negative antibody screen performed. Blood does not need to be crossmatched and so can be dispensed within five minutes of request. A valid sample must be available in the laboratory Electronic issue is only allowable where a patient s plasma does not contain (or has not been known to contain) red cell antibodies, where there is no history of a solid organ transplant, and where there has been sufficient time for a valid (<7day old) sample to be grouped and screened by analyser (two hours minimum). Where these criteria are not met, a full manual crossmatch must be performed If surgery proceeds and blood loss occurs before this automated check is performed then crossmatched blood should be requested and this takes 45 min If blood is required within 45 mins, group specific blood can be supplied within 15 mins. Telephone the lab on ext 2500 to organise this Antibodies When an antibody has been identified in the pre-op assessment clinic it is the responsibility of this clinic to ensure a valid G+S specimen, and crossmatched blood if necessary, is made available for surgery. This MSBOS advises how many units should be ordered in. This should be done at least a day before surgery Blood availability Page 3 of 14 Page 3 of 14

4 1.15. In the absence of antibody it is the responsibility of the surgeon to supply a G+S specimen if considered necessary If no antibodies are present this sample may be taken on admission In the event of blood loss patients first on the list will require manual crossmatch If essential emergency O neg and group specific blood is available during the interval between receipt of a G+S specimen and crossmatched or electronic issued blood becoming available Be aware that there is a small risk that patients may have made antibodies since the PAC sample, particularly if transfused in the meantime For very low risk procedures a G+S specimen is not required Surgery at St Michaels and West Cornwall The G+S specimen must be supplied to the RCH site. If there is a risk of requiring transfusion consideration should be given whether it is appropriate for surgery on that site. There may be a lower threshold for taking a G+S specimen, and it is wise to ensure this G+S specimen arrives at the laboratory before the commencement of surgery. The time required for transport will delay availability. The case mix at WCH and SMH would suggest that this delay is acceptable Revision THR at St. Michaels Hospital Patients should be selected on the following basis: ASA1 and ASA2 (unless low grade ASA3) Pre-optimised with Hb > 120g/l women and > 130g/L men. This must be a FBC within 1 month of surgery and checked before surgery commences. No contra-indication to using intra-operative cell salvage No antibodies on PAC G&S O neg blood is available as follows: WCH 2 units SMH 2 units RCHT Transfusion lab 2 units Main theatre 2 units Trauma theatre 2 units Maternity 2 units + neonatal emergency unit Duchy Hospital 2 units Page 4 of 14 Page 4 of 14

5 NB if Ab detected blood must be requested well in advance as it may have to come from Bristol. If there is a particular individual risk of significant blood loss (eg low Hb, clotting risk, previous surgery etc), consider triage to RCHT and err on the side of ensuring a G+S specimen is available ahead of surgery NB this pre-op clinic specimen serves as an antibody screen and does not mean that e-matched blood will be available at surgery Pre op clinic On day of surgery GENERAL SURGERY WCH / SMH RCHT If antibodies detected Abdominal-perineal resection G & S G & S 2 UNITS Cholecystectomy G & S 2 UNITS Colectomy G & S G & S Gastrectomy - Partial G & S G & S Hemicolectomy G & S G & S Laparotomy (Malignancy or Crohn s) G & S G & S 2 UNITS BREAST VASCULAR Anterior resection rectum G & S G & S 2 UNITS Pan-proctocolectomy G & S G & S 2 UNITS Splenectomy G & S G & S 4 UNITS Major reconstruction G & S 2 UNITS Mastectomy G & S 2 UNITS Aneurysm G & S G & S 4 UNITS Aorto-femoral graft G & S G & S 4 UNITS Carotid G & S G & S 2 UNITS Femoral-popliteal graft G & S G & S 2 UNITS Profundaplasty G & S G & S 2 UNITS BKA G & S G & S 2 UNITS AKA G & S G & S 2 UNITS EVAR G & S G & S 4 UNITS NB for MAJOR emergency blood loss eg for aortic aneurysm rupture a massive haemorrhage pack should be requested and consists of: Pack A: Pack B Pack C 4 units RBC + 4 units FFP 4 units RBC, 4 FFP + 1 platelets 4 units RBC, 4 FFP, 1 unit platelets and 2 pools cryo Pack C repeats until lab is stood down Page 5 of 14 Page 5 of 14
