Abstract

In 1990 nursing professionals who worked in the fields of hematology and transfusion medicine to negotiate in scientific events, the nursing interventions with patients with hematological disorders and procedures that must be provided to the donor / recipient in whole blood cycle . Transfusion-related complications can occur, and some can cause serious damage to patients, even fatal. While some reactions are unavoidable, most fatal transfusion reactions is attributed to human error. Thus we sought to delineate the objective work of identifying through literature transfusion reactions of patients in Intensive Care Units. This is an integrative literature review whose databases were LILACS, SciELO, in the period 2004- 2011. The sample included seven studies that address the nursing procedure before a blood transfusion. The results show that nurses play a crucial role in transfusion safety, requiring appropriate training to assume this responsibility. It was concluded through this study that nursing care through the actions of a nurse competent and skilled professional, is of paramount importance, making it essential for the patient underwent blood transfusion.
