Evaluation of bleed duration and adverse donor reactions during the blood donation process
The study identified prolonged bleeding duration as a novel predisposing factor for ADRs. Re-puncture-associated haematoma, which is an erroneous phlebotomist act, is the possible cause. The acquisition of digital vein detector devices in blood banks to curb adverse donor events, will consequently scale up blood donation and reduce the gap in the blood supply.
