A transfusion-related adverse event, also called transfusion reaction, is any unfavourable event occurring in a patient during or after blood transfusion. About 0.5% to 3% of all transfusions result in some adverse events, but the majority of them are minor reactions with no significant consequences. In general, transfusion-related adverse events are categorised as infectious and non-infectious. However, there are other classifications in the literature based on time of occurrence (i.e. acute versus delayed) or physiological mechanism (i.e. immune mediated versus non-immune mediated). A significant proportion of adverse events may occur as a result of errors in preparation, ordering or administration of blood and blood products. The book contains the latest research in this essential field, which has been revolutionised in recent decades.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886591095127,"sku":"9781600212888","price":173.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/trends-in-blood-transfusion-research-9781600212888","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
