Review
Successful blood services depend on legally empowered regulatory services. Blood transfusion services are important constituents of national health services. Blood transfusion services in India are regulated by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and its subsequent amendments. The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 specifies about accommodation, manpower, equipment, supplies and reagents, good manufacturing practices, and process control to be followed in Indian blood transfusion services.Regulatory affairs in the Indian blood banking system are controlled by central and provincial Drug Control authority under Drug Controller General of India. National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) acts as a facilitator to Indian blood transfusion services on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India,especially to the government sector. The National Blood Policy was published by the Government of India in 2002 and it provides objectives to provide safe, adequate quantity of blood, blood components, and products.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW
The aim of the present review was to describe recent changes in blood banking thinking, practice, and products that affect trauma care.
RECENT FINDINGS
Prompt balanced hemostatic resuscitation of major hemorrhage from trauma improves outcome and reduces blood use. New blood processes and products can help deliver appropriate doses of procoagulant plasma and platelets quicker and more safely. New processes include holding larger inventories of thawed plasma with risk of wastage and rapid plasma thawers. New products in the blood bank include group A or group A low-titer B thawed plasma and AB or A liquid (never-frozen) plasma for resuscitation, prepooled cultured whole blood-derived platelets in plasma, and prepooled cryoprecipitate in varying pool sizes. Single-donor apheresis or pooled whole blood-derived platelets in additive solution, designed to reduce plasma-related transfusion reactions, are also increasingly available but are not an appropriate blood component for hemorrhage control resuscitation because they reduce the total amount of administered plasma coagulation factors by 10%.
SUMMARY
Early initiation of balanced massive transfusion protocols leading to hemostatic resuscitation is lifesaving. Changing blood product availability and composition will lead to higher complexity of massive transfusion. It is critical that anesthesiologists understand the composition of the available new blood products to use them correctly.

Review
Due to regulations, hospital blood banks have to equip them with a computer-based information system. This system facilitates the management of the blood bank and ensures the safety of the storage, issuing and traceability of the blood and blood components. It permits to create a medical file for each transfused patient, which contains the characteristics of the blood components transfused and the immunohematological status of the patient, received by electronic data interchange from the blood establishment. Thus, from the assistance to the prescription of blood transfusion to the issuing and traceability of the blood components, the computer-based information system is the guarantee of the transfusion security in a hospital blood bank.

We describe the consequences of the mass arrival of victims and donors on our blood bank. Changes in the organization, interventions and activity related to transfusions and donations are presented. In the conclusion, we critically analyze our experience and discuss ideas that could be applied in future similar situations.

Review
This article will review the historical use of the computer in the blood bank and will show some examples of its current use today. A discussion will be included of the major areas in the blood bank where a computer would be particularly valuable and also of areas where it would be contraindicated. A few examples of the use in various institutions will be cited. Discussion of telecommunications as a possible method of inventory leveling and inventory control between blood banks will be included.
