Complications and reactions in blood transfusions



Failure to comply with the established rules of techniques and methods of blood transfusions may arise gemotrans-fusional (post-transfusion) reactions and complications.
Clinically distinguish transfusion reactions: pyrogenic, allergic and anaphylactic. They do not pose an immediate danger to life, however, even though non-durable, but violate the function of organs and systems.
1. Pyrogenic reactions are general malaise, chills, fever, increased heart rate and breathing. Sometimes there are severe reactions: body temperature rises by more than 2 °, there are chills, headache, cyanosis of the lips, shortness of breath, sometimes pain and bones.
The reason may be making pyrogens into the bloodstream of the recipient (the patient, who poured
blood) or to antigens izosensibilizatsiya leukocytes, platelets, and plasma proteins.
2. Allergic reactions manifested by chills, fever, blood pressure changes,
shortness of breath, nausea, sometimes vomiting, hives, itching
skin and other symptoms. The reason - the sensitization of the patient to the antigens of plasma proteins, often after repeated blood transfusions.
3. Reaction anaphylactic shock is rare plasma transfusion. The clinical picture is characterized by acute vasomotor disorders: anxiety, facial flushing, cyanosis, attacks of breathlessness, increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure. The reason -
izosensibilizatsiya to globulin.
In the event of such reactions should be stopped immediately and apply transfusion cardiovascular, anti-anxiety agents and giposeneibiliziruyuschie.
Transfusion complications - simptomokomp Lex characterized by severely impaired the functioning of vital organs and systems that are hazardous
for the life of the patient. The main causes of complications: incompatibility of blood donors and recipients of erythrocyte antigens (group factors for the ABO system, rhesus
factors and other antigens); poor quality of blood transfused (bacterial contamination, overheating, hemolysis, denaturation of proteins as a result of long-term storage, storage temperature violations and others.);
errors in transfusion (occurrence of air embolism, circulatory disorders, kardiovasku-
lar deficiency and etc.). massive doses of transfusion; underestimation of the condition of the recipient before transfusion (enhanced reactivity and sensitization etc.). the transfer of infectious agents from blood transfusions.
The most common cause of blood transfusion complications is the incompatibility of blood transfused ABO and Rh factor.
Blood transfusion requires precise execution of the rules of the art and techniques of blood transfusion.
