Hematomas may develop after removal of the needles used for apheresis just as after whole blood donation. There is no reason that this should be a more or less frequent complication than following whole blood donation. However, because blood is returned to the donor by active pumping, if the needle becomes dislodged, the blood will continue to be injected into the antecubital fossa under pressure, and a substantial hematoma may develop quickly. The signs of this are pain, discoloration, or oozing at the venipuncture site. If this occurs, the blood flow is discontinued immediately, pressure is applied, and the hematoma is managed as described for whole blood donation.
