Transfusion-related adverse reactions: From institutional hemovigilance effort to National Hemovigilance program

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2016
In this study we have evaluated the various adverse reactions related to transfusion occurring in our institution as a pilot institutional effort toward a hemovigilance program. This study will also help in understanding the problems faced by blood banks/Transfusion Medicine departments in implementing an effective hemovigilance program.All the adverse

Assessment of the efficacy of large volume delayed sampling primary culture and pathogen reduction in preventing septic reactions from platelet transfusions

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many mitigation processes have been introduced to reduce septic transfusion reactions (STRs) caused by the transfusion of bacterially contaminated PLTs. Methods The efficacy of primary culture and pathogen reduction is assessed in this review using data from long‐term hemovigilance programs in the US, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland,

Monitoring and feedback using data in transfusion medicine: A study of practices from the BEST Collaborative

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is imperative that health systems monitor transfusion practice quality and implement improvements when evidence‐based practice gaps are identified. Despite the importance of data‐driven quality activities, little is known about approaches employed by hospitals. This study aimed to describe strategies used by hospitals to acquire,

Clinical performance and limitations of a vital sign‐based electronic automatic notification system for suspected transfusion reactions: A 6‐year experience

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Automated surveillance systems such as the electronic automatic notification system (EANS) have been introduced to improve recognition of adverse transfusion reactions (ATRs), but their long‐term sustainability and operational limitations remain incompletely defined. Study Design and Methods We conducted a 6‐year retrospective study
