There is also a lack of institution wide guideline on the practice and adequate training given to physicians.

Male patients accounted for % of patients and females accounted for -%. The most common age group transfused was (n = %). The most common indication for transfusion is (n = %). He most common primary diagnosis is ( n %). The most commonly used blood component is (n = %). Vital sign was recorded only in (n = 8, 5.4%) prior to transfusion, (n = 5, 3.4%)during transfusion and (n = 10, 6.8%) post transfusion.
