متن کاملUniversal leukoreduction decreases the incidence of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions to RBCs.

These reactions are generally not life threatening, but they are expensive ...

متن کاملRecurrent bleeding in acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage: transfusion confusion.
OBJECTIVE Acute upper gastrointestinal (UGI) hemorrhage is a common, often serious condition encountered in the emergency department (ED). Previous research has suggested that transfusion of blood products may interfere with the hypercoagulable state induced by significant blood loss. Our objective was to determine whether the frequency of rebleeding is higher in patients with UGI bleeding who ...
