摘要：Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is well-known to occur in patients undergoing phlebotomy, however, there have been no large-scale studies of the incidence of VVS in the blood collection room. The aim of our present retrospective study was to investigate the conditions of phlebotomy and determine the incidence/factors predisposing to the development of VVS. We investigated 677,956 phlebotomies performed in outpatients in the blood collection room, to explore factors predisposing to the development of VVS. Our analysis revealed an overall incidence of VVS of 0.004% and suggested that use of more than 5 blood collection tubes and a waiting time of more than 15 min were associated with a higher risk of VVS. The odds ratios of these factors were 8.10 (95% CI 3.76–17.50) and 3.69 (95% CI 0.87–15.60), respectively. This is the large-scale study to analyze factors of the development of VVS in the blood collection room, and according to our results, use of a large number of blood collection tubes and a prolonged waiting time for phlebotomy may be risk factors for the development of VVS.
