Abstract

Extracorporeal hemolysis may be identified
during hemotherapy. The nurse is one of the professionals
responsible for the administration of blood components
and the control of possible risks, and must therefore acquire
the knowledge which supports clinical practice. The
objective was to identify, in the literature, aspects related
to hemolysis in concentrates of red blood cells resulting
from the administration of blood through intravenous
infusion devices. An Integrative Review of the Literature was
undertaken, including articles in the English, Spanish and
Por tuguese languages, without limitation of data, indexed in
four databases. A total of 12 (100.0%) scientific productions
were selected, of which seven (58.3%) analyzed infusion
pumps, two (16.7%) the handling of erythrocytes, two
(16.7%) hemolysis with combinations of devices, and one
(8.3%), the intravenous catheter. The results of four (33.3%)
of these studies evidenced the occurrence of hemolysis. The
studies indicated that hemolysis can occur during the passage
of the component through infusion pumps and catheters.
