“…According to the study carried out in Burkina Faso in 2017, 51.5% have witnessed a blood transfusion accident [26]. In India, a study carried out in 2018 indicated that 38.6% of staff have witnessed it [50]. This remains close to our study, where 44% have already witnessed a blood transfusion accident due to incompatibility.…”

Blood transfusion is a complex activity, involving many actors. As a high-risk activity, it necessitates the implementation of specific methods for effective control. The safety of blood transfusion is significantly influenced by the beliefs of healthcare workers and organizational factors, constituting two major considerations. We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical survey to examine the knowledge and practices related to transfusion among the medical and paramedical staff at the Pediatric Department (Mother-Child) of CHU Mohammed VI from September 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. Among the 135 staff members interviewed, only 41% had received training in blood transfusion. A majority (65.2%) of the staff noted that a mismatch in cross-matching led to transfusion complications. Two-thirds (66.7%) identified chills as the primary clinical sign of potential accidents. Regarding elements to monitor during a reaction, hemolysis (78.5%) and temperature (76.3%) were most commonly mentioned. Surprisingly, more than half (53.3%) of the personnel interviewed did not conduct post-transfusion monitoring. This survey highlighted significant deficiencies in knowledge and practices related to transfusion. To address these issues, we recommend implementing guidelines and providing tailored training for the staff, aiming to rectify these deficiencies and enhance overall practices.

Transfusion by blood and blood products forms an important part of treatment. But this is not free from transfusion reactions which may be in the form of fever, rashes, shivering, anaphylaxis or even death. Hemovigilance is a programme of reporting such events.Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital of Jammu, (J& K). Permission was taken from Institutional Ethics Committee, Govt. Medical College, Jammu. A pretested questionnaire was prepared and circulated among practitioners. They were given time of 15 minutes to fill that questionnaire. After 15 minutes, the filled questionnaire were collected and were analysed. The data was presented in tabulated form.Results: Total 50 practitioners were included in the study. All the practitioners had knowledge about transfusion reactions. Only 10% of the practitioners had knowledge that transfusion reactions can be prevented, 40% of the practitioners had knowledge about hemovigilance programme and had an idea that transfusion reactions can be reported. But only 10% of the practitioners knew where to report and who can report, 6% knew how to report. Only 48% of the practitioners thought that transfusion reactions should be reported, 70% of the practitioners thought that transfusion reactions can be dangerous. 40% of practitioners told that seminars/CMEs should be planned. 80% of practitioners had encountered transfusion reactions, but only 2% had documented the same. 10% of the practitioners had attended seminars, CMEs. Many reasons were quoted for not reporting transfusion reactions.Conclusion: Overall, most of the practitioners have a positive attitude towards transfusion reaction reporting but knowledge regarding the haemovigilance concept is poor and the majority of them never reported such reaction. Hence, our study demands increased awareness and continued training to strengthen the haemovigilance system.

“…As the way to improve Haemovigilance reporting, maximum felt that more training should be conducted, reporting forms to be made easier, Toll-free helpline reporting to be made mandatory, organizing CME/workshops and availability of the mobile application [6]. Seminars/CMEs/Workshops can be useful in spreading knowledge regarding Haemovigilance to various doctors and other health care professionals which can help in creating awareness [18].…”

Objective: Transfusion of blood and blood products is a life-saving intervention but has the potential to cause adverse events. Haemovigilance is an organized system that includes monitoring, identification, reporting, investigating, and analyzing adverse events related to transfusion and the manufacture of blood products. However, reporting of adverse reactions is markedly less in our country. This study is intended to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of Haemovigilance among post-graduates (PGs) and to scrutinize various causes of Underreporting. Methods: A cross-sectional pre-validated questionnaire-based study was carried out in Osmania medical college and hospital, Hyderabad over 4 months among 150 PGs. Results: Only120 PGs out of 150, provided their responses. Only 20% of the PGs knew about the Haemovigilance program. 41.6% knew how to report and who can report. 2% knew about Hemo-vigil and Donor vigil software. 100% of PGs show a positive attitude towards transfusion reaction reporting and agreed that Haemovigilance activities should include in the undergraduate curriculum. Medicolegal liability issues, lack of knowledge, and lack of time were the main factors that forbade them from reporting. Conclusion: A positive attitude towards Haemovigilance exists among PGs but knowledge regarding the Haemovigilance program was poor and the practice of transfusion reactions reporting was significantly reduced. Hence, our study suggests the inclusion of the procedure of transfusion reactions reporting in the Undergraduate curriculum and augmentation of CMEs/workshops/seminars to PGs.
