Our Safe.Vet Transfusion Monitoring Record is built for busy veterinary teams that need a clear, reliable way to track every step of a blood transfusion. This single-page record keeps everyone on the same page — literally — reducing risk, improving compliance, and making sure nothing gets missed.
Recipient & Donor Identification:
Attach the patient’s printed label in the Recipient Label box for instant, permanent ID.
Add a donor label if available — or simply circle pRBC (packed red blood cells) or FFP (fresh frozen plasma) if there’s no donor.
Cross-Match & Setup Confirmation:
Record blood type and PCV for both recipient and donor.
Tick boxes for cross-match compatibility and IVC (IV catheter) check before starting.
Clear Administration Plan:
Document intended volume and rate right on the sheet, so there’s no confusion across shifts.
Structured Monitoring Table:
Pre-filled time points from pre-transfusion baseline through 4 hours, plus 15 min, 1 hr, and 24 hr follow-up checks.
Dedicated columns for mentation, HR, RR, MM/CRT, temperature, blood pressure, and “other” — so you can capture everything you need in one place.
Finish & Post-Transfusion Data:
Capture total volume infused and post-transfusion PCV/time for accurate outcome tracking.
Built-In Quick Reference:
At the bottom of the page, you’ll find quick reference tables for total blood volume, safe transfusion rates, and dosages. Because let’s be honest — we can’t always remember these numbers in the middle of a busy shift.
Reduces risk with a structured, repeatable workflow.
Improves compliance with transfusion monitoring guidelines.
Saves time by putting patient info, monitoring schedule, and reference data on a single sheet.
Supports better communication across the entire clinical team and creates a clean, audit-ready record.
