Objective:  to estimate the incidence of red blood cell concentrate orders in elective femur fracture repair surgeries and to identify predictors for hemotranfusion. Method: retrospective cohort study conducted with 271 patients submitted to femur fracture repair surgery between July 2013 and July 2016. Surgical and transfusion data were obtained from patient charts and the Transfusion Management System. Association between sociodemographic and clinical variables related to the surgical procedure and the occurrence of red blood cell concentrate transfusion was analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-squared test, relative risk, and odds ratio. Multivariate analysis was performed using binomial logistic regression.  Results:  the incidence of blood orders for patients undergoing femur fracture repair surgery was 87%. Ninety-one (33.6%) patients received red blood cell concentrate transfusions. Even though placing blood orders is recommended, given the possibility of intra- or postoperative transfusions, only 52 (47.2%) blood transfusions occurred in the preoperative period. The variables female sex, low preoperative hemoglobin levels and procedure lasting longer than 120 minutes presented statistical significance (p&lt;0.05) and were considered predictors for hemototransfusion.  Conclusion:  Perioperative nursing must be aware of the importance of blood orders for all patients undergoing femur fracture repair surgery, including in the preoperative period, with special attention to patients who are female, previously anemic and submitted to long-lasting procedures.
