Review the case notes of patients who receive a blood transfusion in the intensive care unit:
What percentage of patients had a documented transfusion threshold/trigger recorded in the patient record?
What percentage of blood transfusions were appropriately administered using best-practice transfusion thresholds (or had a justification why there was variance from the suggested threshold)?
In stable patients, review the percentage of patients who had blood tests to reassess haematology parameters before requesting further blood transfusions.
