Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR)

A febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) is a common response that can occur during or after a blood transfusion. It typically involves a sudden fever and chills, which may happen as the body reacts to the white blood cells in the donated blood. While FNHTR can be uncomfortable, it is usually not serious and can be managed with medications to reduce fever. It's important for healthcare providers to monitor patients closely during transfusions to identify and address any reactions promptly.
