“…The International Haemovigilance Network (IHN) defines haemovigilance (Hv) as "a set of surveillance procedures covering the entire transfusion chain (from the sampling of blood and blood products to the follow-up of recipients) intended to collect and assess information on unexpected or undesirable effects resulting from the therapeutic use of labile blood products, and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence" [2].…”

Haemovigilance is considered to be the collection of monitoring measures that encompass the entire transfusions process ranging from monitoring of blood to the prevention of blood-related disease. The term hemovigilance originated from the word pharmacovigilance, which comprises operations and methods to gather intelligence valuable in overseeing pharmaceutical goods, particularly adverse drug responses in humans, and to scientifically assess such data. This follows the reporting system which includes the enhancement of patient safety. It also includes learning from failures that result in certain system changes and thus prevents the associated errors. It also includes all key parties and organizes numerous operations among blood banks, transfusion facilities, and hospital caregivers. The majority of affluent nations now use Haemovigilance to track adverse responses and occurrences connected with blood donation and transfusion. This mini-review sheds the light on an overview of haemovigilance from an Indian perspective

“…Hemovigilance covers the whole blood transfusion chain from the blood collection stage to its transfusion stage. 3 The hemovigilance knowledge helps nurses to evaluate the information on the management of the blood product's use, especially when complications occur in patients. 4 During the hemovigilance process, nurses can report the complications caused by the use of the blood products.…”

Objective Given the importance of having knowledge on the hemovigilance process in nursing care, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the hemovigilance education on nursing students’ knowledge using a conceptual map. The current research was a semi-experimental study. Methods The samples consisted of 60 nursing students who were selected based on the inclusion criteria using the census sampling method. Thereafter, these participants were randomly assigned into the two groups: experimental and control groups. The required data were collected before, immediately after, and 1 month after the education using the hemovigilance knowledge questionnaire. Accordingly, the validity of this questionnaire was confirmed, and its reliability using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was reported as 0.83. The education process was conducted during a 4-week period. Thereafter, the collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS v25. Results The results reveal that a significant difference existed between the knowledge scores of students in the experimental group compared with that of the control group during different times (including before, immediately after, and 1 month after the education) (P < 0.0001). Of note, hemovigilance education had a significant effect on the students’ knowledge (P < 0.0001). Conclusions Due to the effect of the hemovigilance education on the students’ knowledge and by applying the conceptual map in the easy transfer of the educational concepts, it is recommended that the results of the present study be used to strengthen the theoretical and clinical education of nursing students.

The prevalence of transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs) among blood donors is critical for ensuring blood safety. Aim: To provide an updated assessment of TTIs at a tertiary care hospital in Mexico over a ten-year period. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study. Blood samples were analyzed from potential donors at tertiary care hospital between 2012 and 2022. Donors completed a questionnaire and were screened for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C using nucleic acid testing and serological tests. Prevalence and trends were estimated. Among the 117,756 donors analyzed, 0.48% were positive for syphilis, with a significant annual decrease of −5.9% (p < 0.001), although notable fluctuations occurred, including a peak in 2021. HIV showed a significant annual increase of 9.8% (p = 0.029), with a peak in approximately 2019–2020. Hepatitis C maintained a stable trend, with a slight annual decrease of −5.6% (p = 0.170). Hepatitis B consistently decreased, with an annual decrease of −11.3% (p = 0.06). This study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and screening of blood donors to ensure blood safety. These findings underscore the need for localized public health interventions, particularly to address the increasing incidence of HIV. Further research should focus on enhancing donor screening practices and public health strategies to reduce the prevalence of TTIs.
