Abstract: Objective This survey aimed to explore the contemporary situation of transfusion therapy provided by transfusion medicine department of medical institutions in China, and to identify potential directions for its further development. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was distributed nationwide, utilizing an online survey methodology, targeting staff within transfusion medicine departments to gather insights on the current landscape of transfusion therapy. Results A total of 482 effective questionnaires were finally collected, and 68.0% (325) originated from transfusion medicine departments offering transfusion therapy. Of these departments, 57.2% (186) had been administering such treatments for over 5 years. There were 24 transfusion therapy projects, with autologous whole blood (68.6%), autologous platelet-rich plasma (55.4%), and centrifugal plasma exchange (38.5%) being the three most prevalent. While 50.5% of transfusion medicine departments conducted fewer than 50 annual treatments annually, a notable 7.1% surpassed the 1 000-treatment mark. The workforce involved in transfusion therapy comprised doctors, technicians, and nurses, with the doctor-technician combination accounting for the highest share (34.2%), but the doctor-nurse combination contributed only 7.7%. Participants highlighted the fragmentation of transfusion therapy projects across other clinical departments as the primary impediment to its further development. Conclusion Transfusion medicine departments of medical institutions are currently engaging in transfusion therapy with vigor and enthusiasm. However, the overall practice remains in an initial stage, falling short of establishing a standardized, institutionalized, and widespread transfusion therapy system.
