Results: Total 18699 units of blood components (RCC+ WB+ FFP+ Platelets) were cross matched and out of them 14681 (74%) units were transfused. Overall C/T ratio is 1.27:1. RCC & WB- Maximum demands of 3013 (21.5%) units of RCC/WB received from department of Obstetrics & gynecology and most common indication was for surgery of obstetric cases followed by department of Surgery (n=2331= 16.6%) and most common indication for surgical procedure for different indications.
