Introduction: The coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic affected health care in different ways, including transfusion services. Despite the different consensuses, there is a wide variability in the adherence to transfusion recommendations; therefore, audits of hemotherapy services could help to generate feedback and improve the use of blood components. Objective: To know the frequency of clinical use of red cell concentrate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out in the Hemotherapy and Blood Bank Service of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital, Lima-Peru in December 2022. A total of 447 red blood cell transfusion requests from patients attended during the COVID-19 pandemic were reviewed. The prescription of red blood cells was evaluated based on the transfusion recommendations of the service and the inadequacies observed in the filling of the request were also evaluated. Results: 57.5% of the transfusion requests were from female patients. A frequency of inadequate prescription of 28.4% was found. The hospital areas with most inadequate prescriptions were COVID-19 (50%), Surgery (47.1%) and Medicine (40.7%). The most frequent inadequacies in filling out the request were illegible handwriting (54.6%) and incomplete data (51%). Conclusions: The number of requests with inadequate prescription and the number of inadequacies in filling out the transfusion request was high; showing that better supervision and more responsibility in the control of transfusion practice is needed.
