Types of Blood Transfusion Errors That Lead to Malpractice Claims in Los Angeles
Transfusion injuries can range from mild allergic reactions to fatal organ failure, depending on the nature of the error. Some of the most common mistakes we encounter include:
- Administering the wrong blood type due to mislabeled samples
- Failing to properly crossmatch the donor blood before transfusion
- Overlooking a patient’s known allergies or prior transfusion reactions
- Delaying a medically necessary transfusion during surgery
- Ordering an unnecessary transfusion that exposed the patient to avoidable risk
- Failing to monitor the patient during and after the procedure for signs of a reaction
- Using contaminated blood products
The consequences of these errors can be severe. For example, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) can result and potentially lead to respiratory failure within hours of the procedure. Less immediately dangerous errors can still result in serious infections in these cases as well.
