Introduction• Blood transfusion is a double edged sword, thus
transfuse only when benefits outweigh the risk.
• Restricted availability is the major limiting factor hence, use of blood component improve the overall economy of blood.
• Most of the associated complications are preventable!!
• Description - Increase haemoglobin by 1%
No functional platelets
No labile coagulation factors
• Indications– Acute blood loss with hypovolemia– Exchange transfusion– Red cell transfusion when red cell
concentrate/suspensions are not available.
• Contraindication– Chronic anemia – Incipient cardiac failure
Whole Blood
• Risk : Capable of transmitting any agent present in cells or plasma not detected by routine screening.
• Storage : Between +20C to +60C
35 days with CDPA.
• Administration– Must be ABO and Rh compatible – Transfusion should be started within 30 minutes .– Transfusion should completed within 4 hours of starting.– Medication should never be added to blood.
Whole Blood
• Effects of storage PH
K+
2,3DPG Platelets, platelet function lost by 48 hours. Coagulations factors (V & VIII)
Whole Blood
Adverse effects of transfusion• Acute complications
– Within 24 hours of transfusion
1. Mild reaction
2. Moderately severe reaction
3. Life threatening reactions
• Delayed complications of transfusion
– Transfusion transmitted infections
– Other delayed complications
• Iron overload (repeated transfusion recipients)
• Graft-Vs-host disease
• Delayed haemolytic reaction
Mild Reaction
• Signs –Localized cutaneous reactions:
– Urticaria
– Rash
• Symptoms –
– Pruritus (itching):
• Possible cause –
– Hypersensitivity (mild):
Adverse effects of transfusion
Category 2 – Moderately severe
• Signs –: Flushing, Urticaria, Rigors, Fever,
Restlessness, Tachycardia
• Symptoms – Anxiety, Pruritus, Palpitation,
Mild Dyspnoea, Headache
• Possible cause –
Hypersensitivity (moderate - severe)
Febrile non haemolytic transfusion reactions:
1. Antibodies to WBC & Platelets.
2. Antibodies to proteins including IgA
Possible contamination with pyrogens and/or bacteria
Adverse effects of transfusion
Management of Moderately Severe Reaction
Stop transfusion
Maintain vitals
Antihistamines
Corticosteroids + bronchodilators
(if anaphylactoid features)
If clinical improvement
Yes No Restart Treat as category 3
Category 3 – Life threatening reaction
Adverse effects of transfusion
• Signs –: Rigors, Fever, Restlessness, Tachycardia (>20%), Hypotension (>20%), Haemoglobinuria, Unexplained bleeding (DIC)
• Symptoms – Anxiety, Chest Pain, Pain near infusion site, Respiratory distress, Loin/Back pain, Dyspnoea, Headache.
• Possible cause –
Acute intravascular haemolysis
Bacterial contamination and septic shock
Fluid overload,
Anaphylaxis,
Transfusion associated lung injury.
Management of Life threatening reaction
Stop transfusion
Maintain vitals / airway / oxygen
adrenaline
Diuretics
Corticosteroids + bronchodilators
(if anaphylactoid features)
Management of Life threatening reaction contd…
• Notify doctor & blood bank • Fluid balance charting• Close observation • Watch for the signs of
– DIC
– Hypotension
– Endotoxemia
– Renal failure
When to transfuse if transfusion reaction occurs?
• Mild reaction – – Transfuse slowly with antihistamines
• Moderate reaction – Transfuse new blood unit with close
observation
• Life threatening reactions– Clinical improvement + coombs test
Transfusion transmitted infections
• HIV-1 And HIV-2
• HTLV-1 and II
• Viral hepatitis B and C
• Syphilis
• Malaria
• Chagas disease
• Cytomegalovirus(CMV)
• Other rare infections e.g. Human Parvovirus B19 and hepatitis A
Adverse effects of transfusion
Massive Blood transfusion
Adverse effects of transfusion
• Complications –– Alkalosis– Hyperkalaemia– Citrate toxicity and hypocalcaemia– Depletion of fibrinogen and coagulation factors – Depletion of Platelets.– Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)– Hypothermia 2,3,DPG– Microaggregates

• Indications–
– Bone marrow transplant patients.
– Premature new born.
– Haematological malignancies
– Peripheral blood progenitor cell transplant patients.
– Intrauterine transfusion.
Autologous Blood Transfusion
• Preoperative donation of blood– 2 or more units blood are drawn and stored prior to
anticipated need.
• Intra-operative blood collection.– Blood is collected prior to or during surgery.
• Perioperative hemodilution (Acute normo volemic hemodilution)
– 1 or 2 units drawn before surgery concomitant replcement with crystalloid/colloid.
• Intraoperative blood– Blood is collected (SALVAGE) from the surgical field, then
processed and then returned.
• Post operative blood collection
Guidelines for use of blood/blood products in surgery & haemorrhage
• Blood/Blood products should only be infuse if other modes of therapy have been proven ineffective and if benefits outweigh the risk.
• Average healthy adult can withstand loss of 10% blood volume.
• Average healthy adult can afford 20% blood loss without any ill effect, if circulatory blood volume is maintained.
• Proper assessment and management of patients required before surgery.
• Autologous blood transfusion should be used wherever appropriate.
• Adopt policy of Blood sparing techniques .
• Obtain typing and screening in all elective surgical cases

Conclusion
• Appropriate use of blood/blood products should be done.
• Transfusion carries risk of adverse reactions and transfusion transmissible infections.
• Need of blood transfusion can be avoided by-– Prevention/early diagnosis and treatment of anaemia– Correction of anaemia and the replacement of
depleted iron stores before planned surgery.– Use of simple alternatives to transfusion.– Good anaesthetic and surgical management.
