Dose it matter what blood I use for a transfusion?
If a transfusion is given to a patient from a person with a different blood type, the immune system will attack those blood cells. This can cause a severe reaction in the patient, including shock to the immune system or death.
What happens excess blood after transfusion?
death
What is the possible cause of death in a blood transfusion?
These complications may include an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR), which is most commonly caused by ABO incompatibility. The patient may complain of pain, difficult breathing, fever and chills, facial flushing, and nausea.
What is the most serious complication of transfusion with the wrong blood?
death
What would happen if someone received a water trasfusion instead of a blood transfusion?
The person would eventually die if they received a water transfusion instead of a blood transfusion. It would most likely be a slow and painful death.
What is rupturing of red blood cells that can cause kidney failure and death after an incompatible blood transfusion?
PYROGEN
Is it necessary to match blood groups before giving a transfusion?
Yes. Failure to do so can result in death
1What is likely to happen if a patient is given mismatched blood?
This person will not survive. They will have antibodies for the mismatched blood that was introduced to their system, the blood will coagulate (thicken) and they'll die.
What will happen to a person if they are o blood type and receive b blood?
An acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, with possible acute renal failure and death.
Can a person with A- blood receive A plus blood?
A person with O blood cannot receive A red blood cells. A naturally occurring antibody in group O people (Anti-A) would bind to the A red cells and lead to dire consequences in the patient. A person with O blood can receive blood group A plasma or platelets as the plasma or platelets from an A donor would contain Anti-B which would not bind to the O patient's red cells as they do not carry the B antigen.
Which blood type can be given to any patient?
The universal transfusion blood donor type is the "O negative" blood type. The Rh factor (positive or negative) is as important as the ABO blood group. If you gave O positive blood to someone with Rh negative blood, it would cause problems, including the possibility of death.
Why only normal saline be used in blood transfusion?
Normal saline is the same as our body which is 0.9% saline. Serious side effects can occur if it did not have the same salt content as our body and in blood transfusions the red blood cells could burst open resulting in a very ill patient and even death. Saline is know as sodium chloride or symbolized as NaCl.
