Transfusion Monitoring Record

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.

Key Features

  • 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.

Why Your Clinic Needs This

  • 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.
