Patterns of Adverse Transfusion Reactions related to Blood and Blood Components in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Step towards Hemovigilance
Dr. Prerna Arora
Abstract: Transfusion of blood products is a double edged sword, because it is lifesaving as well as hazardous. Although the incidence has declined substantially with modern facilities such as improved screening and transfusion practices, use of leukofilters and modified blood components, a significant number of cases are still observed due to human errors, alloimmunization, bacterial contamination and immunomodulation.
