There are times when a physician will not transfuse a patient. This might be that the hub level is low, but not low enough to make the patient symptomatic. That is blood pressure is stable, spo2 is ok and patient will be feeling fine. Another reason for not giving a blood transfusion is when there is a high temperature.

What might happen if someone with type A blood received a transfusion of type B blood?
If someone with type A blood received a transfusion of type B blood, their immune system would likely recognize the type B blood as foreign and attack it. This could lead to a severe immune reaction, causing symptoms such as fever, chills, and potentially life-threatening complications. It is important for blood transfusions to be carefully matched to the recipient's blood type to prevent such reactions.
What happens if a person gets the wrong blood type?
Well, if he's getting a transfusion, then apparently he's in a hospital. When it's discovered he got the wrong type, a physician trained in that specialty must rush to infuse his body with the correct type, all the while draining out all the blood already in his system, until all the old blood is gone and the correct type has replaced it. Receiving the wrong type blood can be dangerous or fatal.
Do you pay for the blood when you get a blood transfusion?
In most cases, patients do not pay directly for the blood used in a transfusion. Instead, the costs associated with blood transfusions are typically covered by health insurance, which may include fees for collection, testing, processing, and administration of the blood. However, some facilities might charge a fee that is part of the overall medical billing, so it's essential to check with your insurance provider and healthcare facility for specific details.
Flying long haul after a blood transfusion?
Flying long haul after a blood transfusion may pose certain risks, including the potential for blood clots due to prolonged immobility and changes in cabin pressure. It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider before traveling, as they can assess your individual circumstances and advise on specific precautions. Staying hydrated, moving around during the flight, and wearing compression stockings might also be recommended to enhance circulation. Always prioritize your health and follow medical advice post-transfusion.
When hotness of body is accompanied by jaundice anorexia and anaemia recurring a week after blood transfusion what might be the diagnosis?
The symptoms of hotness of the body, jaundice, anorexia, and anemia occurring a week after a blood transfusion suggest the possibility of a delayed hemolytic reaction, particularly due to an immune response against donor red blood cells. This condition can occur if the recipient has antibodies that were not detected before the transfusion. The recurring anemia and jaundice indicate hemolysis, where the body is breaking down the transfused red blood cells. It is essential to perform further testing, including blood typing and cross-matching, to confirm the diagnosis and manage the condition appropriately.
Which organisations collects blood for transfusion?
Over here in the UK we have a branch of the NHS that deals with the Donation and storage of Blood, they are called The National Blood Service or NBS for short. In the USA I have a feeling that it might be the Red Cross that deals with Donation collection but as for the storage I do not know.
