INTRODUCTION: Blood transfusion is an important concern for the society, as it is life saving for patients with bleeding disorders, accidents, surgeries, inherited/acquired hematological diseases and malignancies. Generally, donors are classied into the following categories: voluntary, family replacement, remunerated or paid donors, and autologous donor. AIMS & OBJECTIVES:To understand the importance of Blood & its safe Transfusion practice in a Teaching Hospital. METHODOLOGY: An Observational study was conducted over a period of 12 months from January 2019 to December 2019 in a 750 –bedded Tertiary Care Hospital of Jammu(UT). OBSERVATIONS: In addition to providing Blood-Transfusion Services to the patients admitted in SMGS Hospital Jammu & Other Associated Hospitals of GMC Jammu, the Blood-Bank is also catering to the needs of Registered Private Nursing Homes & Hospitals of Jammu(UT).This Blood-Bank has exceptionally maintained a record of consuming the whole stock of Blood without wasting even a single pint of blood. DISCUSSION: The Aim of Blood Transfusion Services is to supply good Quality of Blood & its Components to the Patients & avoid any risk to the Donors as well as Recepients. Hence it is extremely essential to institute strict Quality Control Measures RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommended that Upgradation of Blood-Bank is essential to cater with the needs of Additional bed-strength that SMGS Hospital is going to acquire in the coming future.

Abstract Objective:To ascertain the frequency of markers of transfusion-transmitted infections. among blood donors in a blood bank at a tertiary care hospital Material and Methods:The study was a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study, covering from 1stJanuary 2013- October 2018 and was conducted in the blood bank section, in the Department of Pathology at Dow University of HealthSciences, Hospital. All blood donors were screened for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV (I & II), syphilis through electrochemiluminescence and malaria (immunochromatography).Data was entered and subsequently analyzed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. The frequency of infectious disease markers (HbsAg, Anti HCV, HIV, syphilis, and malaria) was calculated among blood donors. Results:The total number of donors in our study was 29732, out of which 2587 donors were positive for an infectious disease.Out of the total donors, 29712 were male and 20 were female. There were 12 volunteer donors and 29720 exchange donors. The mean prevalence of donors with positive infectious markers was as follows; Anti HCV was 3 %, HbsAg was 2.9%, Syphilis was 2.0%, HIV was 0.5% and Malaria was 0.02 %. Conclusion:HbsAg and Anti HCV were the most frequent infections (3%) found in our blood donors, followed by syphilis with a frequency of 2%. Keywords: Blood transfusion, transfusion-transmitted infections, blood donors.

Background: ABO blood types are scientifically proved to be associated with the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but data is lacking in the Saudi population. Aims: We aimed to investigate the association between ABO blood types and VTE, to explore potential interactions between ABO blood type with sex and obesity status. Methods: This was a retrospective study with a total of 998 patients, who were admitted with venous thromboembolism at our tertiary care hospital, between January 2010 and January 2018. Demographic and clinical data were collected. We used chi-square tests to assess the association between ABO blood group and the development of VTE. It was decided that the test will be considered significant if the p-value is <0.05. Results: Out of 998 VTE patients, 506 of patients were excluded, because their ABO blood group was not tested. Therefore, 492 patients were qualified as study subjects, of whom 66% of patients had DVT, 23% of patients had pulmonary embolism. Most of them had provoked VTE. Female patients constituted the majority of the study subjects (82.5%). Sample distribution appeared that O blood group was present in 34.1% of all VTE patients, while non-O-blood groups were present in 66% of them. Overall, there was a non-significant difference between VTE in patients with non-O blood type compared to O blood type (p=0.268). Conclusions: Non-O-blood groups (A, B, AB) are the most common blood types in Saudi patients with VTE. There is no statistically significant association between ABO blood groups, gender, and obesity status. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
