Haemovigilance and Transfusion Safety: A Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Blood transfusion saves lives and improves health, but many patients requiring transfusion do not have timely access to safe blood. Blood transfusion is always associated with some level of risk. Haemovigilance is a continuous process of data collection and analysis of transfusion-related adverse reactions/events in order to investigate their causes and outcomes, and prevent their occurrence or recurrence. It is a risk monitoring system integral to the practice of transfusion medicine whose ultimate purpose is to improve the quality and safety of transfusion therapy.
