Abstract: The practice of transfusions dates back to 1492, in 1900 the ABO system was discovered, and in 1911 the doors to true blood therapy were opened. Currently, the practice of this procedure requires taking into account a group of conditions in blood banks, regarding blood donations, the processing and conservation of blood and its derivatives before being transfused. Objective: Describe the ethical and regulatory aspects related to blood transfusion. Method: compiled information from literature published in recognized scientific databases such as Google Scholar, Redalyc, Scielo, Ebook Central, Scopus, Dspace. Includes scientific articles or books published from 2019 to the present. In the process of transfusion medicine, various processes and their conditions were observed based on the quality and improvement of this practice. Results Once the act of transfusion is performed, the occurrence of adverse reactions to the transfusion must be observed, as established by hemovigilance programs. It was recommended to use the transfusion committee as a fundamental tool to achieve a balance between the benefits and risks of transfusions, and thus achieve greater blood safety, minimize transfusion errors, and raise quality, complying with the indicators established for health centers related to this practice. Conclusions: The bibliographic review managed to compile the most up-to-date characteristics of the ethical and regulatory aspects related to blood transfusion, for the best professional and technical performance of doctors and students.
