VALDERRAMA SANABRIA, Mery Luz; MALPICA ESTUPINAN, Flor Nubia  and  FRANCO VARGAS, Karen Yesenia. NURSING CARE IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF BLOOD PRODUCTS. Rev Cuid [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.1, pp.955-963. ISSN 2216-0973.  https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.v6i1.155.

Introduction: The research objective was to identify the level of nursing care in the administration of blood products. Materials and Methods: Descriptive investigation about previous research articles. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review of the literature in databases such as SciELO, Medigraphic and Medline in the second semester of 2014. Articles were published in English, Portuguese and Spanish, with abstracts available in the period 2000 to 2014. Results: The administration of blood products is a process performed by nurses. The rationale for this is that nurses have responsibility and they are meticulous about their patients care. In addition nurses must follow protocols to prevent complications. Care is divided into three categories; before, during and after. Before administration of blood and its derives which includes administrative work and the measurement of vital signs. Administrative work requires a compromise between ethical and legal procedures that must be followed. Others care during administration and the end after administration. Discussion and Conclusions: During research nothing was found about care related to the administration of blood products. In order to work through this problem the best opinions of care were taken from each article. There is no National and International consensus on care in the administration of blood products. Nurses play an important role the administration of blood products because they are always at their patients side.
