majorly anemic and around 30 - 37% of the patients receive blood transfusion while admitted
in ICU, which also shows the rising need for closed blood sampling system.
In critically ill patients and patients under observation in ICU, blood sampling is frequently
done to monitor the hemodynamics. In conventional blood sampling systems, the blood sample
is withdrawn by removal of stopcock cap, which increases the risk of acquired blood stream
infection during sampling. Moreover, the unused blood is wasted in the case of conventional
sampling method. Closed blood sampling system is a solution to these problems. Furthermore,
the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) article suggests that the hemoglobin
and hematocrit counts shows minimal fluctuations when blood sampling is done by closed blood
sampling system.
Closed blood sampling systems are also used in pediatric patients, owing to easy
implementation, low cost, and significant reduction in blood loss. The patients in the intensive
care units (ICU) receive blood transfusion to treat low hemoglobin levels in patients with
critical illness. However, improper blood transfusion methods are mostly associated with
increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Various government regulatory organizations have
proposed guidelines to decrease the use of blood transfusions. For instance, the Canadian
Medical Association (CMA) released guidelines in 2008 in their Canadian Medical Association
Journal (CMAL), which was published in January 2008, to minimize the use of blood
transfusion in critically ill patients and closed blood sampling systems would be a method for
complying with these regulations.
Increasing demand for blood donations is also fueling the demand for closed blood sampling
systems. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 112.5 million blood
donations were recorded globally and an increase of 10.7 million blood donations from unpaid
donors were reported from 2008 to 2013. Furthermore, according to the American National Red
Cross, around 7,000 units of platelets and 10,000 units of plasma are required daily in the U.S.
and nearly 21 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S.
Closed Blood Sampling System Market - Regional Analysis

Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa. North America holds dominant
position in closed blood sampling system market, followed by Asia Pacific. Increasing demand
for blood transfusions, owing to the increasing number of surgery or injury cases is driving
growth of closed blood sampling system market in North America. For instance, according to
