Fever, rigors, nausea, tachycardia and low BP within 15 minutes of a transfusion is an acute transfusion reaction. Whatever the type (febrile non-haemolytic, acute haemolytic, or septic), the first step is to stop the transfusion until acute haemolysis is ruled out.
- Slowing the rate or just rechecking vitals is unsafe.
- Paracetamol only treats symptoms, after the transfusion is stopped.
