Ann Pak Inst Med Sci Jan ;1(4):245-7.

The present study was commissioned by the Blood Transfusion services, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad with the objective to find out the incidence, nature of and identify the kind of non-infectious serious hazards of transfusion (NISHOTs) that occur in the transfusion medicine practice. All patients who received blood or blood component during the study period were included in this study. Contrary to expectations, proper statistics regarding the incidence of NISHOTs in the patients who received transfusions in the Children`s Hospital and the MCH center in PIMS, Islamabad during the study period, could not be generated. The experience and observations of the survey team however, provided very valuable information about the prevalent practices in the transfusion medicine in PIMS.
