In case of adverse blood transfusion reaction, the clinical assessment can be done on the basis of fever (inflammatory assessment), skin rashes (cutaneous assessment), and any signs of rigor or pain. The patient is also assessed for symptoms of hypotension (circulatory assessment) and respiratory distress (dyspnoea) due to low pressure or high blood pressure.
Adverse blood transfusion can cause severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) and sepsis.
