Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Rapid and sensitive detection of transfusion adverse reaction is fundamental to reducing transfusion-related morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to develop an effective system for reporting of transfusion adverse reaction. METHODS: Inpatient lists with transfusion adverse reaction on a nurse electronic medical records (EMR) from December 4th, 2014 to May 21st, 2015 were automatically selected and displayed to the computer screen of the blood bank data management system. After review of clinical and laboratory data of suspected patients with transfusion reaction, frequency of transfusion adverse reaction according to blood components was calculated. RESULTS: The frequency of transfusion adverse reactions according to blood components was, in decreasing order, red blood cells (RBC) 0.91% (58/6,404), frozen fresh plasma (FFP) 0.20% (5/2,549), and platelets 0.10% (6/5,728). Of 47 allergic reactions, the relative ratio by blood components was RBC 76.6%, platelets 12.8%, and FFP 10.6%. All of 22 febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions were RBC related reactions. CONCLUSION: The online transfusion adverse reaction reporting system based on a nurse EMR is helpful in easy and accurate estimation of transfusion adverse reaction incidence.
