Evaluation of Adverse Events Associated With Allogenic Whole Blood Donation Observed At a Tertiary Care Center in Bikaner, Rajasthan (India)
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Although the blood donation process is usually safe and uncomplicated, occasionally adverse events of variable severity may occur during or after the phlebotomy. Adverse events have negative impact on donor recruitment and retention. To assess the frequency and type of adverse events in our center, we analyzed all adverse events among blood donors. Method: Blood bank based cross-sectional analysis of adverse events during and immediately after allogenic whole blood donations, was carried out during the period of one year from July 2015 to June 2016, among a total of 26,649 blood donors. The blood donors were monitored and compared for common adverse events like vasovagal reaction (VVR), hematoma, nausea, vomiting etc. The data were statistically analyzed and chi square test was applied using PRIMER software. Result: Total of 802 (3.01%) adverse events were observed in blood donors. VVRs with mild intensity (with or without transient syncope) were the most commonly observed adverse events (2.16%), especially in first time donors (1.37%); followed by hematoma (0.65%), nausea (0.14%) and vomiting (0.06%). The incidence of adverse events was found significantly higher among first-time-donors compared with those having H/o previous donation (P=0.0001). The association of incidence of adverse donor events was found statistically insignificant (P>0.05) with sex and type of donation (replacement and voluntary). Conclusion: Knowledge about incidence rates and patterns of adverse donor events enables to train and prepare personnel in the phlebotomy area to respond quickly to those reactions and efficiently reduce the chances of such untoward events among blood donors, ultimately improving blood donor return rate.
