- Abstract
Most donor centres have snacks (pretzels and/or biscuits) available for donors pre-donation which are encouraged if the donor has not had something to eat in the last few hours. Question 7 For all donors or a subset of donors (such as first-time donors) are routinely offered water pre-donation on the donation site. Question 3 No, we do not ask the donor every time, but our national computer system, which staff at each donation site check for every donor, shows up to five adverse events from that donor's previous donations. Question 11 Yes, the EPISoDe study was performed to check whether drinking water prior to donation prevented donor complications in younger (up to age 30) new and novice donors Wiersum et al, Transfusion 2019. Lise Sofie H. Nissen-Meyer Question 1 There are national regulations about pre-donation weight, blood pressure, pulse and haemoglobin levels, and also regulations about donor information, but not more specific measures to prevent complications.
