THE CHALLENGE TO PHLEBOTOMIST (One who draws blood for analysis or transfusion) IS TO MAKE EACH BLOOD COLLECTION PROCESS COMFORTABLE AND SAFE WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY. BLOOD COLLECTION MONITOR COMES INTO ROLE HERE; IT IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO MAKE STANDARDIZED HIGH QUALITY BLOOD COLLECTION WITH REDUCED WORK LOAD OF PHLEBOTOMIST.

Introduction:
B
LOOD COLLECTION MONITOR is an advanced device which is aimed to collect the blood prior to collection with use of latest technology in place of earlier, insufficient, conventional methods i.e. without accurate weight by using random movement.
The main concept behind this project is use of mechanically provide rocking movement to blood and proper mixing with anticoagulants. Also restrict the blood flow from donor when particular limit is reached. I.e. 350ml or 450ml.This is done by load cell and by comparing signal activate the stopping clamp is activated.
As, sensing range of load cell is in mill volts; directly the signal can be given as input to the circuit because it will provide insufficient output. So, it is required to be properly amplified. So, the block diagram is designed taking into account this matter. Then comparing it with reference signal which is decided by many

    Due to the error of incorrect labelled blood specimen it is the ethical responsibility of the emergency clinician to inform the injured patient. The consequences to the emergency department patient if the pathology scientist is instructed to undertake the blood cross-matching test with the first blood sample could result in possible fatality due to the time required to perform cross-matching. This consequence can be avoided by the manager of pathology, under of duty of care, recommending that due to the failure to label the specimen, protocols have to be followed as the patients’ wellbeing may be put at risk. Protocols under the ethic principle of non-maleficence (to do no harm) suggest the action which the manager believes would be most beneficial to the patient is to recommend a batch of uncrossed O blood be administered which is suitable for a larger percentage of people (ref). Ideally only type-specific blood products should be administered to minimize any adverse reactions, however this…

    Drew created a central location for the blood collection process where donors could go to give blood. He made sure all blood plasma was tested before it was shipped out. He ensured that only skilled personnel handled blood plasma to avoid the possibility of contamination. The Blood for Britain program operated successfully for five months, with total collections of almost 15,000 people donating blood, and with over 5,500 vials of blood plasma.[11] As a result, the Blood Transfusion Betterment Association applauded Drew for his work. Out of his work came the American Red Cross Blood Bank.…

    After the approved “best practice” guideline was introduced to the medical staff, a blood utilization dashboard was developed that helps responsible clinical managers identify at the physician level when transfusion orders are placed contrary to the guideline. Having this information available enables the clinical manager to address the issue on a unit or with the individual physician involved. Use of this dashboard has resulted in significant reduction in the variation in transfusion ordering practices among the medical staff and a significant reduction in blood utilization, which equates to a significant reduction in costs of maintaining the blood supply, and an improvement in patient outcomes.…

    John & Price, 2014). Although there has been concerns over the validity of POCT, recent studies have demonstrated that POCT is accurate, and can quickly analyze blood samples at the bedside without the time required for transporting and analyzing the sample in a conventional laboratory setting, (Auvet et al., 2016). Patients enduring long waits who may be critically ill will directly benefit from this bedside technology. With the introduction of Point-of-care testing (POCT) nurses and clinicians receive results up to 46 minutes earlier than conventional laboratory testing, (Rooney & Schilling, 2014). The use of hand-held digital based read out testing devices ensure precise results that are nearly as accurate as conventional laboratory testing, (Murray,…
