Research progresses in donation related vasovagal reaction / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

Donation related vasovagal reaction(DRVR) is the most common adverse reaction during blood donation. It is very important for blood banks to identify, treat and prevent DRVR accurately. At present, it is generally believed that psychological factors are the first major inducement of DRVR. Applied muscle tension (AMT) and salt supplementation have been proved to be effective interventions for vasovagal response; the identification methods of high-risk groups such as State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Medical Fear Inventory and Blood Donor Response Scale have been relatively mature, but the utilization rate is relatively low in China. In this paper, the main clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, research methods, related factors, management and prevention measures of DRVR, as well as the identification of high-risk groups before blood donation are reviewed.
