    A patient will start to look pale, feel weak, experience shortness of breath with activity, and tachycardia (heart has to work harder) etc. [youtube.com]

    In some patients, headache, flushing, or tachycardia may accompany fever and chills. Patients, who are febrile at the onset of transfusion or have been febrile in the preceding 24 hours, are more prone to febrile reactions. [clinlabnavigator.com]

    The most common of these was tachycardia (37.8%). [academic.oup.com]

I don't feel that we are doing a large number of workups simply because the patient transfusion started with an elevated temp. [pathlabtalk.com]

Consequently, the additional cost to our institution for each laboratory workup alone would have been the following: (141 104 FNHTRs) 75 per workup 2775. [archivesofpathology.org]

(Note: Any positive direct AGT requires further evaluation by the blood bank or a red cell reference laboratory for an antibody workup, and a positive culture or evidence of hemolysis must be reported immediately to the clinician). [path.upmc.edu]

Because fever can be a sign of either type of reaction, the transfusion should be stopped and a workup should be completed if a patient's temperature increases by 1 C during a transfusion. Patients can also have allergic reactions to transfusions. [acphospitalist.org]

After the acute phase, the degree of acute kidney injury determines the prognosis. Diuresis and a decreasing BUN usually portend recovery. Permanent renal insufficiency is unusual. Prolonged oliguria and shock are poor prognostic signs. [merckmanuals.com]

Transfusion-associated GVHD carries a very poor prognosis; it is fatal in over 90% of cases [47]. Gamma irradiation of cellular blood components is the recommended method of preventing this complication [50]. [hindawi.com]
