“…Diverses « peurs » ont constitué près du tiers des motifs de refus de donner du sang: peur du dépistage du VIH, peur de tomber malade, peur de perdre la force physique et spirituelle et peur des aiguilles. Plusieurs autres études africaines ont relevé des facteurs similaires comme obstacles au don bénévole de sang [ 3 – 6 , 9 ]. Autant de facteurs à prendre en compte dans la communication interpersonnel afin d'amener les personnes, par ailleurs favorables au don, à passer à l'action.…”

“…Comme dans d'autres pays d'Afrique, les convictions religieuses étaient une raison de ne pas donner du sang pour 11,1% des sujets d'enquête [ 2 , 3 , 5 ]. Outre les témoins de Jéhovah, les croyances religieuses ont été invoquées aussi par des fidèles de certaines sectes religieuses appelées communément "églises de réveil".…”

“…Enfin la vente, par les hôpitaux, du sang donné gratuitement a été évoquée comme cause du refus de don de sang. Agbovi et collaborateurs avaient relevé cette perception dans une enquête à Lomé [ 3 ]. Il faut dire que la collecte, la préparation des composants sanguins, la conservation ainsi que la distribution ont un coût que le CPTS amortit via la cession d'une poche de sang à 9000 Francs Congolais, équivalent à 10 dollars US.…”

IntroductionPlusieurs facteurs font obstacles au don de sang dans les pays en développement. La présente étude avait pour objectifs d'analyser les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques de la population de Kisangani relatives au don de sang et d'identifier les obstacles au don de sang afin de guider la planification des activités de promotion du don de sang.MéthodesL’ enquête a été réalisée du 4 février au 27 août 2008 sur un échantillon de 1067 sujets par entretien.RésultatsSur 1067 sujets interviewés, 1002 (93.9%) sujets ont accepté de répondre. La plupart de nos enquêtés (81.5%, n=1002) avait connaissance de la pratique du don bénévole de sang à Kisangani. Quoique la majorité des sujets approuvent la pratique du don de sang, 57.9% (n=416) parmi eux n'ont jamais fait un don de sang. La raison principale avancé par ceux qui n'ont jamais fait un don de sang était qu'ils n'avaient pas été sollicités tandis que 35% (n=144), quoique sollicités, avaient refusés de faire un don de sang pour diverses raisons.ConclusionCette enquête met en lumière le fait qu'il y a maintenant dans la population de Kisangani une attitude favorable au don de sang. Mais plusieurs obstacles empêchent encore le passage à l'acte. Des activités de promotion qui s'appuient sur la communication interpersonnelle devraient être mises sur pieds afin de passer des messages personnalisés aux donneurs potentiels de sang.

“…More effort is required in the drive for education, motivation, and recruitment of regular donors. Most studies in Africa report a male dominance in blood donation programs (61% in Togo),145 (71.2% in Burkina Faso),146 and (90% in Ghana) 147. In a recent survey in Central, Western, and Eastern francophone African regions, all 7 countries surveyed reported less than 30% females in their donor population 148.…”

“…Several prejudices and misconceptions affect the principle of altruism in Sub-Saharan Africa, including cultural differences and lack of information. Studies conducted in Burkina Faso, South Africa, Togo and Nigeria indicate that blood donors have unfounded fears: fear of knowing one’s HIV serologic status, fear of being infected with diseases, and the erroneous belief that donating blood can decrease one’s libido, cause weight loss, cause high blood pressure, or even lead to death 144,145. More effort is required in the drive for education, motivation, and recruitment of regular donors.…”

The challenges of meeting the blood transfusion requirements in Sub-Saharan Africa: the need for the development of alternatives to allogenic blood

As a resource, allogenic blood has never been more in demand than it is today. Escalating elective surgery, shortages arising from a fall in supply, a lack of national blood transfusion services, policies, appropriate infrastructure, trained personnel, and financial resources to support the running of a voluntary nonremunerated donor transfusion service, and old and emerging threats of transfusion-transmitted infection, have all conspired to ensure that allogenic blood remains very much a vital but limited asset to healthcare delivery particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is further aggravated by the predominance of family replacement and commercially remunerated blood donors, rather than regular benevolent, nonremunerated donors who give blood out of altruism. The demand for blood transfusion is high in Sub-Saharan Africa because of the high prevalence of anemia especially due to malaria and pregnancy-related complications. All stakeholders in blood transfusion have a significant challenge to apply the best available evidenced-based medical practices to the world-class management of this precious product in a bid to using blood more appropriately. Physicians in Sub-Saharan Africa must always keep in mind that the first and foremost strategy to avoid transfusion of allogenic blood is their thorough understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in anemia and coagulopathy, and their thoughtful adherence to the evidenced-based good practices used in the developed world in a bid to potentially reduce the likelihood of allogenic blood transfusion in many patient groups. There is an urgent need to develop innovative ways to recruit and retain voluntary low-risk blood donors. Concerns about adverse effects of allogenic blood transfusion should prompt a review of transfusion practices and justify the need to search for transfusion alternatives to decrease or avoid the use of allogenic blood. These strategies should include the correction of anemia using pharmacological measures (use of antifibrinolytics to prevent bleeding and the use of erythropoietin and oral and intravenous iron to treat anemia) use of nonpharmacologic measures (preoperative autologous blood transfusion, perioperative red blood cell salvage and normothermia to reduce blood loss in surgical patients). All these strategies will help optimize the use of the limited blood stocks.

Patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU)-level care are the sickest patients in the hospital. ICU Management 793 I They often require life-saving medications, monitoring, and technologies such as ventilators, intracranial pressure monitors, continuous hemodialysis, continuous electrocardiogram monitoring, and frequent radiographic imaging such as CAT scans and MRIs. Medical management of critically ill and traumatically injured patients in an ICU is some of the most scientifically complex, intellectually challenging, and resourcedependent care provided within the hospital. Specialized members of many different healthcare fields are needed to manage each patient's unique combination of life-supporting therapies. Preexisting Conditions Traumatically injured patients who enter the ICU are a specialized group of patients with major life-or limb-threatening injuries or burns caused by either preventable traumatic events or natural disasters. Some common causes of traumatic injuries include falls, industrial accidents, motor vehicle crashes, crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians, gun and knife violence, and fires. These lead to injuries such as penetrating wounds, abdominal injury, burns, near drownings, brain and/or spinal cord injuries, and fractures.
