Abstract:
The primary goals of donor screening are to protect the recipient and safeguard the donor. These goals are accomplished through a variety of techniques, the most important of which is the donor medical history interview. This article reviews all elements of predonation donor screening, including donor education, the medical history interview, and the confidential unit exclusion procedure. Specific guidelines, including a proposed national uniform donor medical history questionnaire, are provided for all aspects of donor screening.
