Meteorological elements associated with vasovagal reactions in blood donors: Influence of collection setting and donation type
Meteorological elements affecting VVR incidence vary by the collection setting and donation type. Apheresis donations appear to be susceptible to environmental influences, especially ambient temperature. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating meteorological considerations into donor safety measures and operational planning, particularly for apheresis collections.
