- Abstract
Background: oral habits are considered normal in infants however prolonged oral habits can have deleterious effect on dentofacial Background: Any unfavorable event occurring in a patient during or after transfusion of blood and blood components and for which no other reason is known as a transfusion reaction. The present study was conducted to evaluate acute transfusion reactions occurring in patients admitted to hospital. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted on 200 patients who had acute transfusion reactions admitted to ICU. A transfusion reaction form with all the blood products, containing patient's name, age, identification number, name of the ICU, ABO-Rh group of the patient, type of blood product and blood unit registration number was issued. Results: Maximum reactions were febrile non hemolytic transfusion reactions (112) occurring due to packed red cell (60), fresh frozen plasma (30) and platelet concentrate (22) followed by allergic reactions (40), non specific reactions (18), transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) (6), transfusion related sepsis (5) and hemolytic reactions (4). The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Out of 10201 numbers of various units transfused, 200 patients developed ATRs. It included 4170 units of packed red cells, 2820 units of fresh frozen plasma and 3210 platelet concentration. Conclusion: A well knowledge about these transfusion reactions can only prevent their occurrence. Blood transfusion is a vital therapeutic procedure and there is need to monitor each transfusion carefully with prompt recognition and treatment of ATRs.
