Purpose

Data about the links between Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) and the safety of blood products during the pandemic is inadequate. During the COVID-19 pandemic, high volumes of patients receiving blood products due to post-terminal surgical complications depleted stores for the entire hospital, resulting in surgeons unable to acquire emergent blood products. Data from this study can be used to develop a policy on how to handle blood shortage issues during this and future pandemics. Also, this data can be used to determine future policies on use of blood products from COVID-19-positive donors.

Detailed Description

- To identify the circumstances associated with observed delays in receiving blood products to use in emergent cases. - Determine the cost/benefit of moribund patients receiving massive transfusion during the COVID-19 pandemic. - Quantify COVID-19 diagnosis and complications in patients arriving with no indication of disease at index admission as relative to in hospital or blood product exposure.
