Abstract
Transfusion of blood components is considered safer, but it took years to reach this level. One of the most effective ways to make blood transfusion a safer practice is hemovigilance, which provides important data, including the history of feared transfusion reactions. In recent years in Brazil, there has been an improvement in the reporting of transfusion reactions, however due to the great diversity of hematology services, there are still transfusion reactions. The aims of this study were described the main types of transfusion reactions, as well as to evaluate the underreporting importance of transfusion occurrences of hemotherapy services in Brazil.
Highlights
This paper aims to list and compare the main immediate and delayed transfusion reactions through bulletins published by ANVISA between 2007 and 2013
Underreporting is noticeable when we look at the data of death due to transfusion reaction (Table 4)
Transfusion reactions happen in approximately 2.6% of the transfusions performed in Brazil
Summary
The insertion of information related to immediate and delayed transfusion reactions in the NOTIVISA system for hemovigilance has grown in the past 13 years, since its implantation on the Sentinela network in 2002, and started being used by all hemotherapy services in Brazil in 2007. In that manner, this has helped increase the measures suitable for the improvement of hemotherapeutic processes underreporting is a barrier to overcome [7].
