Please help! what is the significance of transfusion reaction to nursing care?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Support, report: If it happens, you have to stop transfusion if going on, support the patient for what they are feeling, call the doctor to treat and report the case so the lab will know in the registry what the problem was so that patient will know what type of blood to receive in the future.

Stop Transfusion: If a transfusion reaction is suspected, first stop the transfusion, open a normal saline line, support patient, call physician and report to blood bank for clerical check and compatibility confirmation. A post-transfusion blood sample along with the partially transfused unit should be sent to the blood bank for inspection. Follow you facility's policy and forms to report these events.
