May 18th, 2021 - Resuscitation with fresh whole blood is vital to preserving life on the battlefield. Transfusing low titer O whole blood (LTOWB), defined as anti-A and anti-B titer levels of <1:256, is safe because LTOWB alleviates the risk for hemolytic transfus...

May 13th, 2021 - Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTRs) are reported to be rare occurrences but may be more frequently observed in the trauma setting where patients are heavily transfused, followed over long inpatient admissions, and have frequent subsequ...

May 13th, 2021 - BACKGROUND Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTR) are life-threatening complications mostly triggered by red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in patients with hemoglobinopathy. CASE REPORT We present a case of DHTR and hyperhemolysis syndrome...

May 8th, 2021 - Serological methods may not be reliable for RBC antigen typing, especially in multi-transfused patients. The blood group systems provoking the most severe transfusion reactions are mainly Rh, Kell, Kidd, and Duffy. We intended to determine the gen...

Apr 26th, 2018 - Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions remain essential in the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia. Alloimmunization, a well-documented complication of transfusion, increases the risk of delayed hemolytic transfusion ...

Aug 2nd, 2019 - Women with preeclampsia were found to be at the highest risk for transfusion reactions when receiving a blood transfusion post partum, according to results from a retrospective study. Additionally, all women who received a transfusion postpartum w.

Aug 2nd, 2019 - The risk of transfusion reactions was twice as high for women requiring blood to treat postpartum hemorrhage compared with nonpregnant women who also required a blood transfusion during the same time period, a Swedish retrospective study showed. M...

Dec 15th, 2017 - Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is characterized by the temperature at which the auto-antibody has the greatest avidity for the target red cell antigen, either warm or cold forms. It is detected by a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) also.

Sep 28th, 2017 - Photo by Elise Amendola Blood for transfusion New research suggests that, overall, the age of transfused red blood cells (RBCs) does not significantly impact outcomes in critically ill adults, but, in some cases, older RBCs may be the better choic.
