The Blood Bank laboratory needs to be informed of any suspected transfusion reaction as soon as possible. Show
Routine blood tests for Transfusion Reaction investigations;
As well as the above samples, the following needs to be sent to the laboratory:
All reactions considered to be a result of transfusion, except minor allergic or febrile reactions, and without a history of comparable, non-serious
reactions, must be investigated with a standard set of laboratory tests together with additional investigations based on the symptoms. The table below summarises the investigations to be completed according to the symptoms presented.
Sample RequirementsEDTA tube - 4mL  EDTA tube - 6mL Gold-top SST - 6mL Pulmonary Complications of TransfusionTransfusion Associated Circulatory Overload (TACO), Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) and Transfusion Associated Dyspnoea (TAD) contribute significantly to major morbidity after transfusion, and often these are potentially preventable. Early recognition and intervention / treatment is vital. The following video has been created by the SHOT team and provides an overview of pulmonary complications following blood component transfusion. Watch Pulmonary Complications of Transfusion on YouTube. Turnaround times
As soon as you suspect a transfusion reaction: After the transfusion has been stopped (except for some types of mild reaction), you may be required by the Transfusion Service Provider to send freshly collected blood and urine samples along with the component pack and IV line. Follow the relevant organisational occupational health and
safety policies at all times (e.g. do not transport IV lines with the insertion spike (sharp end) exposed). Document the reaction in the patient’s medical record and complete an incident report if required by local policies. Bacterial contamination or acute haemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) May become a medical emergency Sepsis work-up (Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) May become a medical emergency Bacterial contamination or acute haemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) May become a medical emergency Sepsis work-up DIC work-up Note that this is a guide only. You must follow your hospital guidelines. Inform Lifeblood of any adverse reaction that may: Clinical management must be tailored to the patient’s specific situation with the treating Medical Officer, Haematologist or Transfusion Service Provider. How do you investigate transfusion reaction?On discovery of a suspected transfusion reaction: Stop transfusion of blood product immediately where a suspected reaction has occurred and verify patient ID, ABO group of patient and donor unit immediately. Medical advice should be sought immediately from the patient's team and/or the haematology team.
What is the first step in the investigation of a transfusion reaction?Terms in this set (101) What is the first step in the laboratory investigation of a transfusion reaction? C. Repeat ABO and Rh typing of patient and donor unit.
What are the signs of blood transfusion reaction?The most common signs and symptoms include fever, chills, urticaria (hives), and itching. Some symptoms resolve with little or no treatment. However, respiratory distress, high fever, hypotension (low blood pressure), and red urine (hemoglobinuria) can indicate a more serious reaction.
Which of the following is the most common transfusion reaction?Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions are the most common reaction reported after a transfusion. FNHTR is characterized by fever or chills in the absence of hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells) occurring in the patient during or up to 4 hours after a transfusion.
