Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: The most common adverse sequelae to transfusion of blood and blood components are fever, chills, and urticaria. The present study was conducted to evaluate acute transfusion reactions occurring in patients. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted on 340 patients of both genders (males- 140, females- 200). A transfusion reaction and blood products, name of the ICU, ABO-Rh group of the patient, type of blood product and blood unit registration number was recorded. Results: Out of 340 subjects, males were 140 and females were 200. In 135 acute transfusion reactions was seen due to packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma in 110 and platelet concentrate in 95. Febrile non hemolytic transfusion reactions occurring due to packed red cell (35), fresh frozen plasma (25) and platelet concentrate (20). Allergic reactions (60), hemolytic reactions (50), transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) (45), transfusion related sepsis (85) and non specific reactions (20) were other reactions. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Transfusion reactions should be dealt carefully. Blood transfusion should be done under physician supervision. Acute transfusion reactions were seen due to packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelet concentrate
