Introduction: Haemosurveillance is an element for the safety of blood transfusion processes. The information provided by the Sentinel Network integrated the Post-National System of Sanitary Surveillance in registration and Post-Commercialization, with the purpose of subsidizing Sanitary Surveillance in the actions of regulation of these products. Objective: Obtain transfusion reaction rate (RT) values that reflect the situation of the institutions that make up the Sentinel Network, based on network monitoring data, in 2017. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach was performed. The study sample consisted of 172 spreadsheets from reports sent by 191 Sentinel Network member services, with data referring to the monitoring of at least one of the semesters of 2017. Results: Of the 254 accredited services in the Sentinel Network in 2017, 191 institutions submitted a report with data from at least one of the semesters during the study period. Of these services, 183 (95.8%) reported having had blood transfusions and 120 (62.8%) institutions sent spreadsheets with RT rates from the health facility. The overall rate of RT identified among institutions that make up the Sentinel Network for 2017 was 5.29 RT per 1,000 transfusions performed. Conclusions: The rate of RT identified was 5.29 RT per 1,000 transfusions. Identifying the transfusion reaction rate is an important step in institution’s risk management as it enables the development of quality improvement strategies in the transfusion process.
