Abstract Introduction- In tertiary health care settings, where patient requirements are varied and frequently urgent, efficient management of blood components is critical to timely and effective healthcare delivery. Turnaround time is a crucial performance parameter for blood banks that has a direct impact on patient outcomes and resource utilisation. Our study's objective is to assess the blood components' turnaround time at a tertiary healthcare blood bank. Material and methods- This study is a retrospective cohort analysis that collected data on blood requests and product usage at a tertiary care hospital between January 2021 and December 2021. The data was then analysed for turnaround times. Results- The turnaround times for packed red blood cells (PRBC) are 5 to 25 minutes, and the monthly issues range from 277 to 485 units. Turnaround times for fresh frozen plasma (FFP) range from 8 to 22 minutes, and between 181 and 330 units are produced per month. Platelets (PLT) are provided monthly in quantities of 116 to 303, with turnaround times ranging from 4 to 15 minutes. Furthermore, eleven reports of emergency problems were made during certain months. Conclusion- The information shows a considerable deal of variation in the number of blood components issued and the turnaround times for those components in a tertiary hospital environment in 2021. Comprehending these oscillations is essential for effective distribution of resources and inventory control. Furthermore, the occasional occurrence of emergency problems highlights how crucial it is for blood bank operations to be adaptable and well-prepared.
