Hypotensive transfusion reaction – a case report
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Transfusions reactions can be caused by the toxicity of chemicals that leach in blood components from blood storage containers or by endogenous mediators generated in the blood during filtration, processing and storage, such as bradykinin mediated hypotensive reactions. Such transfusion reactions are characterized by early and abrupt onset of hypotension as the predominant clinical manifestation and subside once transfusion is stopped. We report a case who presented with hypotension on blood transfusion and its management.
