Transfusion
-
Plasma and platelets (PLTs) are often transfused to correct mild to moderately abnormal laboratory values. Our objective was to reduce unnecessary plasma and PLT transfusions to nonbleeding patients by prospective triage and education of end users in evidence-based hemostasis and transfusion medicine practices. ⋯ Prospective triage and evidence-based transfusion practice education reduced unnecessary plasma and PLT transfusions and health care costs.
