Adverse Donor Reactions - The Retrospective Study at 250 Bedded Hospital

Dr. Muskan Chaudhary, Dr. Anshul Bansal, Dr. Ankit Sharma

Abstract: Introduction: Whole blood donation is generally considered a safe method, but sometimes weight differences that may occur during or at the end of the collection process may have adverse effects. The aim of this study is to estimate the frequency and type of adverse events that occur during blood donation and to evaluate practices that may help reduce adverse events. Materials and methods: At Rukmani Birla Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan the hospital based blood centre retrospective study was conducted at a regional multispeciality hospital center from January 2024 to december2024. All blood donations to the center are screened and in the study we recorded all adverse events occurring during or after donation. Results: Overall 11 adverse events were reported in relation to 2400 donations, resulting in an overall adverse event rate of 0.45%, that is, an incidence of 1 in every 200 donations. Presyncopal symptoms - vasovagal reactions of mild intensity, were the most commonly observed adverse reactions which accounted for approximately 70% of all adverse reactions noted. Conclusions: Only 0.5% of blood donations were complicated by adverse events and most of these events were presyncopal symptoms. Blood donation is a very safe procedure which could be made even more event - free by assuring and tactful practices.
