Résumé
Packed red blood cells (PRBC) are frequently ordered for cardiac catheterization procedures, which increases resource utilization and patient charges. We applied the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) principle in order to optimize the ordering of PRBC for pediatric cardiac procedures and reducing charges. Our primary aim was to increase adherence to ordering guidelines to greater than 97%, with a global aim to reduce resource utilization. The existing PRBC ordering guidelines were revised and procedure reports were updated to include administration of PRBC. The rate of pre-procedure PRBC orders, adherence to the new protocol guidelines, presence of documentation and rate of blood transfusion within 24 h post-procedure, frequency of emergency release blood during a procedure were monitored. During our study period, there was an increased adherence from 86 to 100% adherence following implementation of the updated guidelines. With improved adherence, we decreased PRBC ordering and hospital charges to the patient in low-risk cardiac catheterization procedures, without an increase in blood transfusions.
