32 "Serious" febrile non hemolytic transfusion reactions Increase in body temperature 2 C or body temperature 39 C

33 MontGodinne Documentation of Transfusion Reactions transfusion reactions (34 PLT, 4 RBC) in 65 patients 61 in hematooncologyoncology in 48 % of cases : no body temperature before in 21 % of cases : no body temperature after in 56 % of cases : no pulse rate before in 32 % of cases : no pulse rate after in 54 % of cases : no blood pressure before in 35 % of cases : no blood pressure after in 37 % of cases : no blood product available

34 MontGodinne Documentation of Transfusion Reactions 211 Among 65 patients who experienced at least 1 transfusion reaction, 58 were not considered as having experienced any transfusion reaction before In 22 of these patients, regular prophylaxis with corticosteroids was instaured This represented a total of 195 transfusions

35 Serious donor reactions What is a severe donor vasovagal vagal reaction? reaction : or reaction : offsite? requiring hospital admission? life threatening? chronic morbidity? with loss of consciousness loss of bladder control vomiting convulsion

38 Conclusions Belgium has developed a national hemovigilance system. Hemovigilance data need validation and comparison with other countries. Optimal scale for data collection may differ for different items. Objective parameters may be as useful as clinical transfusion reactions. Funding should be adequate and proportional to the scope of the project.
