Blood transfusions are vital, but adverse reactions can occur. This study found non-hemolytic febrile reactions were the most common complication, with no fatalities in over 13,000 transfusions.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Hematology
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Blood transfusions are essential medical procedures.
  • Adverse events, known as transfusion complications or hazards, can arise during or after administration.
  • Monitoring these reactions is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the types and frequency of blood transfusion complications.
  • To investigate adverse reactions in patients receiving blood or blood components.
  • To assess transfusion safety within the Pune-Kirkee Armed Forces Hospitals.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of transfusion records.
  • Review of adverse events and associated investigations.
  • Data collected from June 1995 to July 1997.
Keywords:
Blood transfusionComplicationFebrile reaction

Main Results:

  • A total of 13,039 transfusions were analyzed.
  • 104 (0.8%) adverse reactions were reported.
  • Non-hemolytic febrile transfusion reactions (70.2%) were most frequent, followed by allergic reactions (18.3%).
  • One hemolytic transfusion reaction occurred due to improper sample labeling.
  • No fatalities were recorded.

Conclusions:

  • Blood transfusion reactions are infrequent but important to monitor.
  • Non-hemolytic febrile and allergic reactions are the most common complications.
  • Strict adherence to protocols, including proper sample labeling, is essential to prevent errors and ensure transfusion safety.
