Abstract
The management of blood bank is an integral part of health delivery system and it is centred on the donation and transfusion of blood. The four major classification of blood is considered in the formulation of Markov model with a first- order dependence. The data of blood transfused in a city hospital was studied and the result revealed that the blood that is donated and received by the same blood group constitute the major blood needed in the hospital with 100%, 99.1%, 98.3%, and 98.5% for blood groups AB,B,A and O respectively. There will be a little variation in the blood needed for transfusion in the future on the basis of the present when the initial values of the transition probabilities P12 (t), P13 (t), P14 (t), P24 (t), and P34 (t) (t = 0) are 0.00354, 0.00202, 0.00865, 0.01653 and 0.00884 respectively. The information about blood bank inventory is important for a successful health care delivery. If such information is available in every city hospital, it may be possible to move blood from one hospital to another during emergency. Mathematics Subject Classification: 60J28
