Background
There is a minor chance of risk among blood donors. Even though blood donors are usually screened for the presence of risk factors, sometimes blood donations can put a person at panic.
Aims
The safety of the blood supply depends on the actions to protect both; blood transfusion recipient and the blood donor. Hemovigilance practice of learning of complications of blood donation and protecting them from such complications is the best way to minimize the risk to blood donor.
Methods
Comprehensive blood donor hemovigilance program was studied at Dr. Ishrat ul Ebad Khan Institute of blood diseases, Karachi from 2010 to 2015. Outlines of reported and communicated complications were collected after whole blood donation. Analysis was done by general logistic regression.
Results
Complications after 30,000 Whole blood donation procedures calculated 1620 total . (54 per 1,000 donations). The majority of the complications were faint and pre-faint reaction with light headedness (58.6 %), Sore arm (24 %), Bruises and hematoma (14.4 %). Minor complications were Agitation/sweating (2 %) and arterial puncture (1 %). Markers of the complications were age, sex, race, weight, blood pressure and donation status. All associated independently after whole blood donation. Age and first-time status were associated with a significantly higher risk of complications with 18-22 years old at higher risk compared to 23 to 50 years old. First-time donor were at higher risk compared to repeat donor.
Conclusion
The results of this study are helpful in identifying and understanding the promoter to complication of blood donation. Donor age and status were strong predictors of complications. The remedies and specific areas of care should be provided.
