Transfusion Reactions Management

Transfusion reactions can occur when a patient's body reacts negatively to a blood transfusion. Signs include fever, chills, or allergic symptoms. If a reaction is suspected, healthcare providers stop the transfusion immediately to prevent further harm. They monitor vital signs, provide supportive care, and may administer medications to relieve symptoms. It’s important to report the reaction for analysis and future safety. Ensuring proper blood matching and screening can help minimize risks in future transfusions. The goal is to keep the patient safe and manage any adverse effects effectively.
