Abstract
Efficient and safe blood donation procedures are critical for maintaining an adequate and reliable blood supply. Needle priming, a pre-donation procedure aimed at preventing clot formation, is hypothesized to improve blood flow and reduce donation time. A case-control study was conducted with 340 participants to evaluate the impact of needle priming on whole blood donation. The case group underwent needle priming before donation, while the control group followed standard procedures without priming. The study found a statistically significant reduction in blood collection time in the needle priming group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Needle priming prior to blood donation significantly enhances procedural efficiency, reduces clotting risks and improves donor satisfaction.
