UK-wide audit of red blood cell transfusion in hospices
- Abstract:
- Small observational studies have shown that transfusion can improve symptoms in people with advanced cancer. However, receiving unnecessary transfusions can cause harm (risk of transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) and often means the person cannot do anything else on the same day. It was not known whether people receiving palliative care were receiving transfusions appropriately or whether their symptoms could be managed more appropriately with alternative treatments. No previous national audit of practice has been performed.
