Sažetak
From the very beginning of its development, transfusion therapy was accompanied by the occurrence of transfusion reactions. Their incidence is monitored through systematic reporting in order to effectively plan strategy which aims to reduce the frequency of new reactions. Reducing the frequency of transfusion reactions is the task of all health care professionals, who care for patients requiring blood transfusion. Doctors and laboratory staff have an important role in both laboratory processing and the improvement of blood component production. Meanwhile, nurses perform key role during blood sampling, administration of transfusion, patient monitoring and reporting of transfusion reactions. In the past decade, certain changes have been introduced in the production of blood elements which are used in the University Hospital Centre Zagreb. In addition to continuous training of all employees on ways to ensure and improve the quality of care for patients requiring transfusion, the majority of changes relates to the semi-automated method of production and leukofiltration (LF) of blood components. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of implementing the universal leukofiltration of blood components that are produced by applying the semi-automated method on the appearance of transfusion reactions.
