Five-year review of acute transfusion reactions and transfusion errors at a tertiary center
Transfusion Clinique et BiologiqueAlthough blood transfusion is a life-saving procedure, it is associated with a number of preventable and unpreventable transfusion reactions. Transfusion errors account for the majority of preventable causes. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency and characteristics of acute transfusion reactions (ATR) and preventable transfusion errors ...

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1992
We reviewed 1500 acute transfusion reactions that were reported to the Auckland Regional Blood centre over a 7 year period, from approximately 440,000 transfusions. The majority of reactions were to red cells, and these had the highest reaction incidence per unit (0.73%) of all blood products. The reaction incidence per unit transfused for plasma was 0.

Acute transfusion reactions: an update
Journal of The Royal Naval Medical Service, 2014Abstract Over the last decade the use of blood products by the United Kingdom (UK) military has increased significantly; with the increase in transfusion comes an increased incidence of transfusion-related incidents. Acute transfusion reactions (ATRs) are a common consequence of transfusion, which vary widely in their severity and are ...

Acute Pain Transfusion Reaction
Oncology Nursing Forum, 2013A 34-year-old woman with a diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistocytosis (HLH) received a double umbilical cord blood transplantation following a myeloablative chemotherapy preparative regimen with busulfan and cyclophosphamide. HLH is a rare, potentially fatal hematologic disorder characterized by the overactivation of histocytes and T lymphocytes ...

A Fatal Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction with Acute Autohemolysis
Transfusion, 1964A fatal hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti‐Kidd (Jka) is described in a woman with aplastic anemia associated with acute leukemia. Radioactive chromium studies, which were in progress at the time, made it possible to demonstrate that a severe autohemolytic crisis was a part of the reaction.

1b Acute transfusion reactions
Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1997The vast majority of blood transfusions are uneventful and the desired result is achieved safely. Nevertheless, about 10% of transfusion recipients may suffer some form of untoward effect, yet severe morbidity and mortality are relatively rare. Febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions due to the presence of white cell antibodies in the recipient ...

A revised classification scheme for acute transfusion reactions
Transfusion, 2007BACKGROUND: Although the standard classification system for acute transfusion reactions adequately describes the general features associated with the various types of reactions, it was not designed to provide strict criteria for diagnosis and classification.

Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions
2009Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the adverse events termed as acute hemolytic reactions (AHTR) that occur during or following a transfusion. Transfusion of incompatible red blood cells (RBCs) or significant amounts of incompatible plasma, can lead to efficient antibody-antigen binding in the recipient that can activate the complement ...

Serologic assessments in acute transfusion reactions: practices and yields
Vox Sanguinis, 2019Background & ObjectivesSerologic testing after transfusion reactions (TRs) aims to find accountable immune haemolytic incompatibility. Our hospital policies recommend serologic testing in all TR, except for low‐risk fevers (subclinical temperature <39°C) or uncomplicated allergic reactions.

1998
The critical step in the treatment of transfusion reactions is determining the type and severity of the reaction. Hypotension is an ominous sign and may signal either an anaphylactic or acute hemolytic reaction. Anaphylactic reactions typically occur in IgA deficient patients who have been transfused before and are thus sensitized to IgA.
