| This is the treatment to an allergic reaction from blood transfusion | Antihistamines |
| This is also referred to as a febrile reaction to a blood transfusion | Fever |
| Acute immune hemolytic reaction | serious rxn body attacks the transfused RBCs b/c the donor blood type is not a good match. The transfused RBCs release a substance harmful to kidneys.occurs during or right after a transfusion. S&Sfever, nausea, chills, back/chest pain, & dark urine. |
| Name 3 blood borne infections that are potential complications of a blood transfusion | HIV Human T-lymphotropic virus Hepatitis B Hepatitis C West Nile virus Sepsis |
| a delayed transfusion complication that occurs in clients who receive multiple blood transfusions such as clients with anemia or throbocytopenia | Iron Overload |
| administered intravenously or subQ removes accumulated iron via the kidneys, urine turns red as iron is excreted after the administration of deferoxamine, treatment is discontinued when serum levels return to normal | deferoxamine |
| When white blood cells in the donor blood attack the cells in your body. often fatal. more likely to affect people with severely weakened immune systems. | Graft-versus-host disease |
| Signs of immediate transfusion reaction | chills and diaphoresis, muscle aches, back pain, or chest pain, rashes, hives, itching, and swelling, rapid, thready pulse, dyspnea, cough, or wheezing, pallor, cyanosis, apprehension, tingling, and numbness, headache, N/V/D abdominal cramping |
