Abstract		Background. Haemovigilance is a system consisting of the detection, collecting and analysis of information regarding unwanted and unexpected effects of blood transfusion that make it possible to take action in order to improve blood trasfusion safety. In a broader sense, it is defined as a set of surveillance procedures covering the whole transfusion chain from the collection of blood to the follow-up of recipients. In some European countries a haemovigilance system based on legislation was introduced during the last ten years. European Haemovigilance Network was organised and some results from the existing surveillance systems were reported. The paper presents haemovigilance activities in Slovenia. Conclusions. In Slovenia, many elements of haemovigilance are already incduded in the blood transfusion chain, but no unique system of data collection exists. We expect a new legislation on blood transfusion to help us with introducing a data collection system, analysis and activities in order to further improve blood transfusion safety.
Summary		Izhodišča. Hemovigilanca je sistem, ki obsega zaznavo, pridobivanje in analizo informacij o neželenih in nepričakovanih učinkih transfuzije krvi in omogoča pripravo predlogov za izboljšanje njene varnosti. V širšem smislu zajema celotno področje od zbiranja do transfuzije krvi. V nekaterih evropskih državah so v zadnjih desetih letih na osnovi zakonodaje vzpostavili sistem hemovigilance. Vzpostavili so Evropsko mrežo hemovigilance in že poročajo o rezultatih tega sistema nadzora. V članku navajamo dogajanje na področju hemovigilance v Sloveniji. Zaključki. V Sloveniji so v delo v celotni transfuzijski verigi in pri preskrbi s krvjo ter njeni uporabi vključeni številni elementi hemovigilance. Enotnega zbiranja podatkov pa še nimamo sistemsko urejenega. Pričakujemo, da bomo na osnovi nove zakonske ureditve transfuzije krvi vpeljali enoten sistem zbiranja podatkov, njihovo analizo in na tej osnovi predlagali ukrepe za varnejšo transfuzijo.
