With a growing incidence of major polytrauma by vehicular accidents, bomb blasts and fires, awareness of the basic concepts underlying massive blood transfusion practice with special reference to the complications is essential. The paper outlines the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the various complications of massive blood transfusion.
