Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Intra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Management • Stop transfusion Immediately • Replace giving set, keep IV line with Normal saline • Check patient ID against donor unit • Cardio-pulmonary support • Insert urine cath. And start Forced Diuresis ( ensure 100 ml/h for 24 h to get rid of free Hb and prevent renal VC)
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Intra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Management Saline Diuresis • If urine < 1.5 ml/kg/h + Low CVP: More Fluid • If urine < 1.5 ml/kg/h + Normal CVP: • Fluid Challenge + 80 -120 mg Frusemide + Renal dose Dopamine ( 1-2 ug/kg/min) • If No response: Consult Nephrologist
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Intra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Outcome Mortality ~ 10 %
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Extra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Trigger: Rh antigens not shared by the patient Reactor: Anti-Rh antibodies of Ig G type
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Extra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Response: Pathophysiology • Incomplete complement activation Coating of transfused red cells with C3b • Extravascular phagocytosis by RES • Cytokines from activated RES
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Extra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Clinical Features • Less severe, may be no signs • Onset > I hour • Fever • + Jaundice • Rarely Haemoglobinuria or renal dysfunction
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Extra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Laboratory • Anti-complementary Coombs positive
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Acute Extra-vascular Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions Managment • Stop Transfusion • Supportive • Mortality very rare
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Febrile Non-Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction ( FNHTR) Trigger: Leucocyte antigens on infused blood not shared by the patient Reactors: Leuco-agglutinins in the patient from previous exposure
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Febrile Non-Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction ( FNHTR) Pathophysiology • Cytokine released from the transfused activated leucocytes
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Febrile Non-Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction ( FNHTR) Clinical Features • Fever after 30-90 min • + Rigors • + Headache • No Hypotension • No Bronchospasm • No flank pain • No haemoglobinaemia • No Haemoglobinuria
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Febrile Non-Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction ( FNHTR) Management • If Temp < 40 + Stable patient: • Stop transfusion • Antipyretics ( No rule of Anti-histamines ) • Check the bag and cross match • Exclude red urine or red plasma • Resume transfusion at a slower rate • If recurrent: Leucodepleted transfusion in the future
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Febrile Non-Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction ( FNHTR) Management • If Temp 40 or more + Unstable patient: • Stop transfusion • Manage as possible acute haemolytic reaction till lab. Confirmation or exclusion
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Transfusion- Related Acute Lung Injury ( TRALI) Sudden onset of acute respiratory distress within 6 hours( u. 1-2h) of transfusion
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Transfusion- Related Acute Lung Injury ( TRALI) Rare: 1/5000 transfusions
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Transfusion- Related Acute Lung Injury ( TRALI) Pathophysiology • Trigger: Leucoagglutinins in the bag against patient’s leucocytes • Reactors: Patient leucocytes • Result: massive Leucocyte activation Cytokine storm Pulmonary Endothelial and Epithelial Injury ARDS
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Transfusion- Related Acute Lung Injury ( TRALI) Clinical Features • Fever, chills • Acute Respiratory Distress • Normal CVP • CXR: Pulmonary Infiltrate
Immediate Blood Transfusion Reactions: Transfusion- Related Acute Lung Injury ( TRALI) Management • Cardio-Pulmonary Support • Steroids • Diuretics of No value Mortality High
