Summary

Blood transfusions carry risks beyond HIV, including hemolytic reactions and infections. Minimizing blood loss and considering autologous blood are key to safer transfusion practices.

Main Results:

  • Hemolytic transfusion reactions are the leading complication.
  • Transmission of hepatitis and other pathogens remains a significant risk.
  • Immunomodulation and graft-versus-host reactions are less common but important considerations.

Conclusions:

  • Minimizing blood loss during procedures is paramount.
  • Autologous blood transfusion can reduce certain risks.
  • Comprehensive risk assessment is crucial for safe transfusion therapy.
