  2. Transfusion-associated circulatory overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfusion-associated...

    In transfusion medicine, transfusion-associated circulatory overload (aka TACO) is a transfusion reaction (an adverse effect of blood transfusion) resulting in signs or symptoms of excess fluid in the circulatory system (hypervolemia) within 12 hours after transfusion. [2]

  3. Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Febrile_non-hemolytic...

    Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) is the most common type of transfusion reaction. It is a benign occurrence with symptoms that include fever but not directly related with hemolysis. [1] It is caused by cytokine release from leukocytes within the donor product as a consequence of white blood cell breakdown.

  4. Injection site reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_site_reaction

    Injection site reactions (ISRs) are reactions that occur at the site of injection of a drug. They may be mild or severe and may or may not require medical intervention. Some reactions may appear immediately after injection, and some may be delayed. [1] Such reactions can occur with subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous administration.

  5. Transfusion-related acute lung injury - Wikipedia

    It is often impossible to distinguish TRALI from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The typical presentation of TRALI is the sudden development of shortness of breath, severe hypoxemia (O 2 saturation <90% in room air), low blood pressure, and fever that develop within 6 hours after transfusion and usually resolve with supportive care within 48 to 96 hours.

  6. Cytokine release syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_release_syndrome

    [5] [6] When occurring as a result of a medication, it is also known as an infusion reaction. [1] The term cytokine storm is often used interchangeably with CRS but, despite the fact that they have similar clinical phenotype, their characteristics are different. When occurring as a result of a therapy, CRS symptoms may be delayed until days or ...

  7. Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_hemolytic...

    An acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR), also called immediate hemolytic transfusion reaction, is a life-threatening reaction to receiving a blood transfusion. AHTRs occur within 24 hours of the transfusion and can be triggered by a few milliliters of blood. The reaction is triggered by host antibodies destroying donor red blood cells.

  8. Allergic transfusion reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergic_transfusion_reaction

    An allergic transfusion reaction is when a blood transfusion results in allergic reaction. It is among the most common transfusion reactions to occur. Reported rates depend on the degree of active surveillance versus passing reporting to the blood bank. [1] [2] Overall, they are estimated to complicate up to 3% of all transfusions. [3]

  9. Air embolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_embolism

    Gas embolism is a diving disorder experienced by underwater divers who breathe gases at ambient pressure, and can happen in two distinct ways: . Pulmonary barotrauma: Air bubbles can enter the bloodstream as a result of gross trauma to the lining of the lung following a rapid ascent while holding the breath; the air held within the lung expands to the point where the tissues tear (pulmonary ...
