Abstract

Voluntary blood donation allows for the maintenance of adequate reserves of safe blood and blood components. The leak of blood donors has been a problem for the Blood Banks of the countries in the world. The principal preoccupation in the Blood Banks is the blood safety, because of that one of the most important steps now of the blood donor eligibility is the selection process. Objective: Evaluated the deferral causes of the donors served in the donation service. Methods: the study will be quantitative, descriptive, correlational, documental, transverse and retrospective, of donors served in the donation service of the Banco Municipal de Sangre Del Distrito Capital from august 2023 to august 2024. Results: from the 10,258 donors, 2,219 were deferred corresponding to a rate of 21,63%. The three principal causes of deferred were low hematocrit, arterial hypertension and drug use. The highest number of deferred cases were found among the group of 25 to 34 years (25%), being hypertension (20,4%), low hematocrit (18,58%) and not good sleeping (14,47%) the principles causes. The male sex was predominated in the deferral (59%), being the hypertension (21,09%), the low hematocrit (20,55%) and not good sleeping (11,81%) the principles causes, and in the female sex were the low hematocrit (20,33%), hypertension (19,34%) and drug use (14,42%). Discussion: we recommended the periodic evaluation of the donor questionnaire, and the approval of the new Law of the blood bank based on the international protocols.
