Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Adverse reactions during blood donation have a negative impact on donor retention which subsequently results in decrease voluntary blood donation and availability of adequate blood supply. Objective: To analyse the types of adverse reactions in blood donors in a tertiary hospital. Subjects and methods: This study was a prospective one, conducted on whole blood donors who presented to our department over a period of one year. Donors were observed for the occurrence of any adverse reactions such as vasovagal reactions, injury and weakness, etc. Results: 12376 donors were enrolled of which 7021 were first time donors with respect to 5355 numbers of repeated donors. Donor reactions were observed in 113(0.91%) donors, out of which 25 were females and 88 were males. Male RBD (66=0.79%) donor recorded more reactions while female VBD recorded more reaction (17 =2.64%) than female RBD (8 =1.55%). The only donor reactions recorded in our study was vasovagal reaction and maximum number of donors had mild vasovagal reactions without loss of consciousness and injury in both the sex. Conclusion: Vasovagal reactions are the only reactions in our study. Since these reactions have a negative impact on donor reaction, we need to highlight the various preventive measures.
