“…Today, hemolysis and air embolism are rarely seen with modern blood collection equipment [9]. Severe outcomes [30,43], arterial puncture [44], citrate toxicity, severe injuries to subcutaneous nerves [45,46,47,48,49,50], thrombosis of upper extremity veins [51,52], formation of an arteriovenous fistula [53,54], pseudoaneurysm [55,56,57], or compartment syndrome [58] are all extremely rare, as are some other rare events [59]. We did not see any of these rare UEs [60,61,62].…”

Background: Reports on unexpected donor events (UEs) during preparatory plasmapheresis (PPP) are scarce, and rarely consider technical UEs. Methods: Defined local and systemic UEs were graded by severity; technical UEs were not graded. On January 1, 2008, E.B.P.S.-Logistics (EBPS) installed the UE module for plasma management software (PMS). Donor room physicians entered UEs daily into the PMS. Medical directors reviewed entries quarterly. EBPS compiled data on donors, donations and UEs from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2011. Results: 66,822 UEs were observed during 1,107,846 PPPs for a corrected incidence of 6.55% (1.4% local, 0.55% systemic, 4.6% technical UEs). 3.36% of PPPs were accompanied by 1 UE and 1.18% by >1 UE (2-5). 13.7% of donors undergoing PPP for the first time, 9.7% of those having a second PPP and 4.0% of those having a third or more PPPs were associated with UEs. Most common UEs were repeated venipuncture, and broken-off collection due to venous access problems and small hematomas. Severe systemic UEs occurred at a rate of 36 per 100,000 PPPs. Conclusions: Technical UEs were common with PPP. UEs accompanied first and second donations significantly more frequently than for subsequent donations.

“…To date, 27 cases have been reported in the English-language literature, including those reported only in abstracts, of which 2 cases involved apheresis (22,23), 4 involved whole-blood donation (24,25), and the others did not mention the method of donation (26,27). Table 3 describes the 8 cases for which the details were recorded.…”

Upper-extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis Complicating Apheresis in a Healthy Donor

et al. 2017

Venous thrombus was recognized in the upper extremity of a 53-year-old man after blood donation. The patient presented with a 15-day history of swelling in the left upper-extremity that started 6 hours after apheresis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed clots in the deep veins of the left arm and the peripheral pulmonary artery. Blood donation had proceeded smoothly, and the patient had no thrombotic predisposition, except for a smoking habit. The thrombus resolved following anticoagulant therapy, and the patient’s clinical course was uncomplicated. Despite a thorough investigation, the cause of this thrombus remains unknown.

Upper‐extremity deep venous thrombosis complicating whole‐blood donation

Abstract: Although serious complications from whole-blood donation are rare, they may occur. Deep venous thrombosis should be considered in a donor presenting with increasing pain and swelling after blood donation.
