Small Volume Blood Draws Could Cut Down Transfusions Clinicallab The trial, which involved more than 27,000 patients in 25 adult intensive care units (icus) across canada, showed that taking less blood for lab tests using “small volume” tubes reduced the need for almost one blood transfusion for every 10 patients. most hospitals use standard tubes that automatically draw 4–6 ml of blood, but a typical. Interventions: icus were randomized to transition from standard volume (n = 10 940) to small volume tubes (n = 10 261) for laboratory testing. main outcomes and measures: the primary outcome was rbc transfusion (units per patient per icu stay). secondary outcomes were patients receiving at least 1 rbc transfusion, hemoglobin decrease during icu.
Small Volume Blood Collection Tubes Could Cut Rbc Transfusions The researchers calculated that implementation of these small volume tubes could reduce blood transfusion during icu admission by 10 units per 100 patients in the icu. dr. siegal explained that there is a high prevalence of anemia among patients in the icu, and about 30% to 50% of patients receive at least one transfusion. Monday, oct. 16, 2023 use of small volume blood collection tubes in the intensive care unit (icu) may decrease red blood cell (rbc) transfusions, according to a study published online oct. 12 in the journal of the american medical association. With the larger draw, 90% of the blood is wasted. small volume tubes have a weaker vacuum inside that automatically draws up to half as much blood. than 36,000 blood transfusions. "with small. Small volume blood draws could cut down transfusions the ottawa hospital the large trial showed switching to smaller collection tubes saved almost one blood transfusion for every 10 patients.

Patients in the intensive care unit (icu) often have multiple blood draws daily, which typically amount to approximately one unit of blood every eight days. standard blood collection tubes use a calibrated vacuum to withdraw between 4 and 6 ml of blood, but most modern laboratory tests require a very small volume (usually <0.5 ml). The number of red blood cell (rbc) units transfused dropped by 9.84 per 100 patients admitted for 48 hours or more among icus using so called soft draws compared with standard volume collection.
