| Notes for Abstraction: |
- Abstract the Transfusion Date associated with the Transfusion Start Time of the unit (bag) or dose from the blood product event ID selected for abstraction.
- Some of the dates of the transfusion events will be the same date. Record a transfusion date for each unit abstracted up to three units per event per blood product (RBCs, plasma, platelets).
- The medical record must be abstracted as documented (taken at “face value”). When the date documented is obviously in error (not a valid date/format) and no other documentation is found that provides this information, the abstractor should leave blank.
- Example: Documentation indicates the Transfusion Start Date was 03-42-2008. No other documentation in the medical record provides a valid date. Since the Transfusion Start Date is outside of the range listed in the Allowable Values for “Day,” it is not a valid date and the abstractor should leave blank.
