Importance of keeping a record...
All units of PRBCs are not equal. The volumes are different. The expiry dates are different.
It's important to keep your own record of the dates of infusion, the volumes infused and the dates of PRBC donation and expiration. Keep a precise record; you may be quite surprised at the volume variations and just how long the transusions "work" for you, just sayin'.
