ABSTRACT
Precedents: The blood since the humanity exists has been a motive of mystery and fascination, has been used for rituals, where the blood plays a mystical vital beginning. For the Aztecs the man was created by the sacrifice of the gods, for which it was necessary that the man was offering his own blood and life in order that they, in turn, could live and to recreate the world every day. For many years, the blood was extracted by means of catheters of rubber and was getting in glass bottles in those that the emptiness had not done to itself, was wrapping up itself with gauze and cotton or with a stopper of rubber. One of the most important advances was the introduction of the bottle of hermetic enclosure that was allowing to support the blood in the same container in the one that was extracted during the donation. The stopper of rubber of the bottle had an air route that was allowing the exit of the same one of the bottle as this one was filling with blood. If this route was blocked, it could increase the pressure in the flask and the donor was traversing the risk of suffering a gaseous embolism. Introduction: From the year 1925 when I found the first bank of blood in Mexico until the year 1987 the donation was remunerated. The demand of blood in the hospitals has increased, nowadays the majority of the donors are familiar, the donor does not come convinced, comes pressed, put stress and fearfully, for these factors the donors present adverse reactions to the donation do not come in voluntary and altruistic form. The best donation is the altruistic donation. Adverse reactions to the donation. The donation is a voluntary act where the donor, can present any type of adverse reaction to the donation. The adverse reactions to the donation are small and the majority slight, but also they can present adverse severe and serious reactions with serious consequences. For his severity they qualify in slight moderated and severe. They can be systemic and local. According to his prevalence they are, nausea, I vomit, reactions vasovagales with or without syncope, bruises, neurological hurt for the needle, arterial puncture water-pipe arteriovenosa, phlebitis, angina of chest, heart attack to the myocardium. Conclusions: In order that the donor presents an adverse reaction there exist factors associated as the fear, anxiety, lack of information etc. For the previous thing it is necessary to implement a plan of taken care of infirmary that is applied from the receipt of the donor up to the term of the process of donation. If the professional of health offers to him to the donor safety since it initiates until it finishes the process of donation, it would minimize the risk of presenting any type of reaction avoiding with this to lose the donor and could return to donate in altruistic form.REFERENCES
