Plain Normal Saline Solution or PNSS is used after blood transfusion because it is the only compatible diluent or 'cleaner' after transfusion. Its sole content of Sodium and Chloride does not cause blood reactions that may be dangerous to the client. D5LRS for example is discouraged as it has calcium which is a clotting factor. Introducing D5LRS after blood transfusion may cause massive thrombosis or clotting. sicnarf619 UCC-College of Nursing PH
