Transfusion reactions Flashcards
Acute transfusion reaction occurs within
24 hours of transfusion.
Delayed transfusion reaction occurs
after 24 hours of transfusion.
Acute immunologic transfusion reaction involves interaction between
antigen-antibody.
Acute immunologic transfusion reactions causes
Hemolytic, febrile nonhemolytic, allergic, TRALI.
Acute nonimmunologic transfusion reactions causes
Bacterial contamination, circulatory overload, physician/chemical hemolysis.
Delayed immunologic transfusion reactions causes
Hemolytic, transfusion-associated graft versus host disease, post transfusion purpura.
Delayed nonimmunologic transfusion reactions causes
Transfusion-induced hemosiderosis, disease transmission.
Hemolytic transfusion reaction cause
Immune system attacks transfused RBCs due to incompatible blood (ABO mismatch or clerical error).
Hemolytic transfusion reaction reaction period
Occurs within 1-2 hours.
Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) cause
Antileukocyte antibodies or platelet storage changes.
Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) symptoms
1°C increase in body temperature, immune-mediated or platelet storage related.
Allergic transfusion reaction cause
Recipient antibodies react to an allergen in the blood component.
Allergic transfusion reaction symptoms
Weals, hives, erythema, pruritus; severe cases may include anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reactions.
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) cause
Anti-WBC antibodies from donor interact with recipient leukocytes.
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) symptoms
Respiratory distress, hypoxemia, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.
