The transfusion-sheet is an important document which appears first in the French legislation on May 1985 the 17. Its aim is to keep a close watch over transfusion of red blood cells, platelet concentrates and fresh frozen plasma and also immunohematologic evolution of data for every patient. In spite of its importance for everyone in charge of transfusion practice (physicians, biologists, transfusion center,...), a lot of problems may be observed in the strict and complete updating of the document. Informatisation of all the steps of the medical and biological practice appears of crucial interest to perfect its use.
