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.

Why is medication not allowed to be infused into the blood transfusion set while a blood transfusion is going on?

Every blood transfusion carries the risk of allergic reaction, to anaphylactic shock, even if blood type is perfectly matched. If medication was also infused along with the blood, and the patient had an allergic reaction, it would be impossible to tell which sustance was causing the reaction: the blood? or the medication? Remember that every transfusion reaction can be deadly. As well, some meds may break down blood components. Therefore, never inject IV meds into a transfusion tubing or combine medications into a blood transfusion set.


Why did frank receive a blood transfusion?

Frank received a blood transfusion due to a significant loss of blood from an injury or medical condition that left him in a critical state. The transfusion was necessary to restore his blood volume, improve oxygen delivery to his organs, and stabilize his overall health. This procedure is often used in emergencies to prevent shock and support recovery.

What will happen if you inject someone elses blood in you that's not the same blood type?

Injecting someone else's blood that is not the same blood type can lead to a severe immune reaction, known as a transfusion reaction. The recipient's immune system may recognize the foreign blood cells as a threat and attack them, which can cause symptoms like fever, chills, and potentially serious complications such as kidney failure, shock, or even death. It's crucial to match blood types before any transfusion to prevent these dangerous outcomes.


What transfusion reaction is caused by a reaction between protein antibodies in the blood plasma and red blood cell surface molecules called antigens resulting in the clumping of red blood cells kn?

The transfusion reaction described is known as an hemolytic transfusion reaction, specifically an acute hemolytic reaction. This occurs when there is an incompatibility between the donor's red blood cell antigens and the recipient's antibodies, leading to the clumping (agglutination) of red blood cells. This can cause serious complications, including hemolysis, which is the destruction of red blood cells, and can result in symptoms such as fever, chills, and shock. Immediate medical attention is required to manage this reaction.


What cause hypovolemic shock?

What can happen if you receive the wrong blood type?

Some symptoms of a mild transfusion reaction from getting the wrong blood are chills, fever, dizziness, flushed skin, back pain, and the presence of blood in urine. These symptoms can manifest when a person is receiving the transfusion or shortly after. In some cases, a person also can have a severe transfusion reaction that can cause symptoms like shock, decreased blood pressure, and a rapid pulse.
