背景：由于输血在许多情况下是挽救生命的，因此维持血液供应是必不可少的。2003年SARS冠状病毒的传染性暴发对血液供应造成了负面影响。本研究旨在测量捐献者的出勤和血液需求，以帮助寻找在未来新冠肺炎大流行和类似公共突发事件期间管理血液供需的有效方法。材料和方法：回顾获得2019年9月1日至2020年5月1日期间捐赠者出勤、移动献血和血液库存记录的数据，以评估新冠肺炎对沙特阿拉伯比沙阿卜杜拉国王医院捐赠者出勤和血液供需管理的影响。使用SPSSStatistics 25.0版对数据进行分析。结果：在沙特阿拉伯报告新冠肺炎输入性病例后，献血者出席率和血库采血量下降了39.5%。而同期的用血需求减少了21.7%。结论：新冠肺炎疫情对献血人次和血液供应产生了负面影响，对输血服务产生了不利影响。在类似这次大流行的紧急情况开始时，应准备优先输血的指导方针。密切监测血液需求和血液供应，并采取适当的应对措施，对于避免突然出现血液短缺至关重要。循证的紧急血液管理计划和灵活的监管政策应该准备好应对任何灾难，并在血液短缺的情况下迅速做出反应。
Background: Maintaining blood supply is essential since blood transfusions are lifesaving in many conditions. The 2003 infectious outbreak of SARS-CoV had a negative impact on blood supply. This study aimed to measure donor attendance and blood demand in order to help find efficient ways of managing blood supply and demand during the COVID-19 pandemic and similar public emergencies in the future.Materials and methods: Data from donor attendance, mobile blood drives and blood inventory records were retrospectively obtained for the period between 1 September 2019 and 1 May 2020 to assess the impact of COVID-19 on donor attendance and the management of blood supply and demand in King Abdullah Hospital, Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Data were analysed using SPSSStatistics, version 25.0. Categorical variables were described using frequencies and percentages.Results: After imported cases of COVID-19 were reported in Saudi Arabia, donor attendance and blood supply at blood bank-based collections showed a drop of 39.5%. On the other hand, blood demand during the same period was reduced by 21.7%.Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on donor attendance and blood supply and adversely affected blood transfusion services. Guidelines that prioritize blood transfusion should prepare at the beginning of emergencies similar to this pandemic. Close monitoring of blood needs and blood supply and appropriate response is essential for avoiding sudden blood shortage. An evidence-based emergency blood management plan and flexible regulatory policy should be ready to deal with any disaster and to respond quickly in the case of blood shortage.
