Beginning 7/29/2020 all blood orders for patients will be separated based on weight. Below are how the orders will appear.
Once you find the blood product you need, you click on it. Each blood product order goes to the same plan. The plan is BB Transfuse Blood Product Plan for Patients LESS than 20 kg. The names above are alias for this plan. You can only order a blood product through the plan. The individual orders are hidden.
Here is the plan you will be ordering blood products from.
You will notice that there are medications in the plan that are also weight based to help with transfusion reactions and potential fluid overload.
Once you order PRBCs and platelets you will see they are ordered in mL(s) NOT units. This is following the guideline of usual dose is 10-15 mL/kg. This will ensure safety for our patients less than 20 kg.
