“… 5 The reported systemic donor reaction rates from our institution appears to be lower than similar recently published reports. 10 , 11 No phlebotomy related local complications were reported at our institution, likely because of under-recognition or under-reporting. Interestingly, all reactions observed in female donors in our institution were major.…”

Objectives:To report 2-years experience of using transfusion-related quality indicators as a tool in hemovigilance system implementation.Methods:The study was carried out between 2012 and 2013. Blood transfusion service data were prospectively collected at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Donor reactions, transfusion reactions, fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in-date wastage, incidents, and errors pertaining to orders, or requests were collected quarterly and prospectively and forwarded to the Hospital Transfusion Committee (HTC) for review.Results:Donor population consisted of 23,132 donors. One hundred and forty-eight donor reactions were reported, resulting in a rate of 0.6%. Eighty-four transfusion reactions were reported and most were allergic reactions (79.7%). Errors or incidents were reported with approximately 0.3% of the total number of submitted samples/request forms. The FFP in-date wastage was 21.3% of the total FFP wastage. The HTC regularly reviewed the hemovigilance data and reporting; and safety improvements were implemented.Conclusion:The use of quality indicators as a tool for developing and implementing a hemovigilance system provided a better understanding of improvement areas for continuous progress in quality and safety, and is expected to enhance these features along the blood transfusion chain.

“…Vein collapse and poor vein flow during the apheresis procedure were the most common AEs associated with venipuncture. In a four-year study examining the occurrence of AEs, Diekamp et al 17 reported that discontinued collections due to venous access problems, repeated venipuncture, and small haematomas were the most common AEs. In order to prevent such occurances the vein must be of a certain caliber and placement of the needle during the venipuncture must be correct as the same vein in the arm is used for inflow and return of blood.…”

Background/Aim. Plateletpheresis is a medical procedure used for the collection of donor platelets with multiple benefits for patients who will receive apheresis platelets. The procedure takes one hour and is well tolerated by donors. Nevertheless, adverse events may occur during and after the plateletpheresis procedure. The aim was to present one centre experiences in order to determine the incidence and type of adverse events associated with donor plateletpheresis. Methods. A retrospective analysis of adverse events associated with donor plateletpheresis was conducted in the Blood Transfusion Institute of Vojvodina over the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2019. Results. Out of 2073 platelet donors 94.84% were multiple blood donors, predominantly male (98.55%). Adverse events were identified during 180 (8.68%) platelet donations with no statistical significance in occurrence in the first time (10.28%) and repeat donors (8.59%). Mild local reactions related to venous access (42.22%) were the most common adverse events. Generalized symptoms exhibited 16.67% of donors, 26.11% exhibited symptoms related to apheresis - citrate reactions and 15% exhibited those related to other complications. During plateletpheresis occurred 95.55% adverse events and 4.45% after. Conclusion. Donor plateletpheresis is a generally safe procedure, well tolerated by donors. Understanding risk factors for possible occurrence of adverse events provide support for adoption of measures to prevent them.

“…Despite regular occurrence of collection failures, literature data on such events during collection of blood and blood components is scarce. The majority of available data stems from studies on donor vigilance, which primarily focus on adverse reactions and complications in blood donors 2 …”

Summary Objectives The objective of this study was to show experience of the Croatian Institute of Transfusion Medicine in monitoring and analysing collection failures caused by the venepuncture technique or occurred as a result of adverse reactions and complications experienced by donors during donation. Background Collection failures represent one of the leading nonconformities in blood establishments. Apart from being a negative motivating factor for blood donors, they also affect the blood components supply and have a negative financial impact. Methods Nonconformity records referring to collection failures were analysed retrospectively over a 6‐year period (2013–2018) with regard to their frequency, causes, donor characteristics (age, gender, number of donations), place of occurrence (blood establishment, mobile sessions) and trends during the analysed period. Results A total of 5166 collection failures out of 618 251 donations (0.84%) were recorded during the analysed period. The leading cause was haematoma at puncture site (1676, i.e., 32.4%). Collection failures which are primarily attributed to the venepuncture technique or vein selection accounted for 91% of all cases, whereas collection failures which occurred as a result of discontinued punctures due to adverse reactions in donors accounted for 9% of all cases. A much higher frequency of all collection failure types was recorded in female donors, whereas younger donors experienced adverse reactions more frequently (median age of 24). Conclusion The analysis and monitoring frequency of collection failures play an important role in planning of staff training activities, work organisation and timely implementation of corrective actions.
