ISBN 978-93-5152-215-7 Printed at Dedicated to Our families and our dear parents whose inspiration, motivation, blessings and moral support continue to contribute a great deal to our academic endeavors & Everybody striving to contribute to the blood safety Foreword Minister of Health & Medical Education Government of Haryana Tel: 0172-2740278; Fax: 0172-2748043 I am extremely happy to know that Dr GP Saluja and Dr GL Singal have come up with their book “Standard Operating Procedures and Regulatory Guidelines–Blood Banking” that incorporates the latest updated procedural guidelines regarding the operation of blood banks This book covers all the aspects of blood transfusion including regulatory guidelines framed under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945 This book will serve both the student fraternity and the blood bank professionals and will go a long way in achieving the accuracy and proficiency in the various blood bank procedures I am also confident that this book will broaden the horizon of all those working in blood banks and medical fraternity in understanding the legal issues pertaining to safe blood transfusion (Rao Narinder Singh) Foreword Additional Chief Secretary Health Department Government of Haryana Tel: 0172-2711706; Fax: 0172-2771310 Blood transfusion plays an important role in the modern health system of both developing and developed nations across the globe These services are well-organized in the developed countries; while in vastly populated developing countries, these are yet to be brought at par with those available in the developed countries Blood transfusion is an essential component of health care that underpins the management and care of millions of patients each year in both emergency and routine situations Yet an unknown number of patients lose their lives unnecessarily every day because they not have access to safe blood transfusion Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the right quality of blood and its components for safe transfusions Blood transfusion is a multi-step and multi-actor’s process and desired quality results can only be achieved by following standard operating procedures (SOPs) At every step, any lowering of quality would reflect adversely on the final product, particularly when the institutions/individuals not have the proper knowledge about the requirements for grant/renewal of license to operate the blood banks, SOPs, quality and legal understanding of blood transfusions I am confident that this book will broaden the horizon of all those working in blood banking, understanding the legal issues and providing safe blood transfusion to the needy patients (Navraj Sandhu) 428 Standard Operating Procedures and Regulatory Guidelines-Blood Banking maltreated by the husband, does not absolve the Hospital from its professional obligation ” 24 Affirming the aforesaid view of the State Commission, the National Commission held thus: “ It is seen that the patient’s kidney was damaged and the blood level reached to 100 gms Percentage, hemoglobin came down to mg after the mismatched blood transfusion was given by the Doctor in the said Hospital It was only after the complainant gave the written complaint to the hospital regarding the wrong transfusion of blood given to the patient, an inquiry was made and it was found correct The damage control treatment started only after the written complaint was given by the complainant Though it is argued by the Counsel for the Appellant that the percentage levels were brought down to normal, it is very clear to us that the internal imbalances of liver and kidney functioning and deteriorating hemoglobin levels started only after the mismatched blood transfusion was given Though septicemia has been written as the ultimate cause of death, the patient’s health took a nose dive only after wrong blood was given to her and this is clearly negligence on the part of the Doctors of the Hospital which the appellants cannot disown or absolve themselves ” 25 We concur with the view of the National Commission as it does not suffer from any error of law 26 In the result, the appeal fails and is dismissed with costs which we quantify at Rs 20,000/- Bibliography A comparative study between antiglobulin cross-match, type and screen procedures for compatibility testing by Vanessa Zammit, Supervisor: Dr M
