Adherence to guidelines on red blood cell transfusions in women having post-partum haemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of RBC-Ts for obstetric patients were conducted in line with the guidelines. However, 6.0% of RBC-Ts were registered to be in discrepancy with the guidelines and 20.3% of RBC-Ts were prescribed on the "low Hb" criterium solely. It is possible, though, that the 20.3% is overestimated due to insufficient descriptions of indications for RBC-T in patient files.
FUNDING: none.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was approved by the management at Rigshospitalet.
