Abstract

Most transfusion provide safe and effective temporary replacement of blood components. As with other medical interventions, however, transfusions are associated with certain risks, and only when the expected benefits outweigh the potential risks should transfusion therapy be initiated. This chapter addresses the principal categories of transfusion reactions. For each individual type of reaction, the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are discussed. More detailed coverage is available elsewhere.
