Yes, many things, blood transfusions can cause death if they give the wrong type, as of wrong blood group or of Rh positive to negative.
Also it is possible to be exposed to a bloodying pathogen such as HIV or hepatitis. Modern testing greatly reduces this risk, but there still remains a small risk. Blood typing/matching errors are extremely rare. There is always a risk (albeit small) any time you receive tissue into your body from another person whether it is blood, an organ, bone, skin, etc.
============= FROM THOMAS, --You might consider carefully the latest change of the use of Non-Blood-Surgery, medicine & therapy by the Dept. of Defense ( military): On the "Clinical Posters" web site this is stated by the Military: "U.S. Military Training for Bloodless Surgery" "Non-blood Medical management, once considered a fanatical patient view of Jehovah's Witnesses is now becoming the gold standard for surgery" (Answers.com does not permit web addresses for reference) ---
ALSO THE COMMITMENT by the Military with the Elmwood , New Jersey Hospital by the grant of some 4.6 million dollars with the Hospital for training & use of technology with their medical staff ! Their ground breaking activity has been in use for 15 yrs.

If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK).

Why is pnss used in blood transfusion?
Plain Normal Saline Solution or PNSS is used after blood transfusion because it is the only compatible diluent or 'cleaner' after transfusion.

Introducing D5LRS after blood transfusion may cause massive thrombosis or clotting. sicnarf619 UCC-College of Nursing PH
