Transfusion reactions are adverse events associated with the transfusion of blood components or products. They range in severity from minor to life-threatening and can occur during or after a transfusion. PBCO has developed several forms for documenting transfusion reactions and provided resources to aid in recognizing, responding to and investigating transfusion reactions.

If you have any questions or need additional information, contact PBCO directly.
