AB  - Obtain  consent  when  possible  before  administering  blood  transfusions  and  properly  inform  patients  regarding  the  risk  of  developing  complications.Always  transfuse  leukocyte-reduced  blood  products  to  recipients  who  are  immunocompromised  to  prevent  graft  versus  host  disease.It  may  be  difficult  to  clinically  distinguish  between  benign  (urticaria,  simple  febrile  reactions)  and  more  serious  transfusion  reactions  (acute  hemolysis,  anaphylaxis,  transfusion-associated  acute  lung  injury,  sepsis).Whenever  a  transfusion  reaction  is  suspected,  immediately  stop  the  transfusion,  confirm  that  the  correct  blood  product  was  administered  to  the  correct  recipient,  and  send  samples  of  the  transfused  product  and  the  recipient's  serum  to  the  blood  bank  for  further  analysis.
