Excessive amount of blood or other fluid given during transfusion or infusion - what does this mean
Excessive blood or other fluid given during transfusion or infusion can lead to a condition known as transfusion-related overload, where the body is unable to process the large amount of fluid quickly enough, resulting in fluid accumulation in the lungs, heart, and other organs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, and low blood pressure.
What happens during the disease - excessive amount of blood or other fluid given during transfusion or infusion
Excessive amount of blood or other fluid given during transfusion or infusion can lead to a condition known as fluid overload. fluid overload occurs when the body is unable to process the excess fluid and it accumulates in the body's cells and tissues. this can lead to increased pressure in the circulatory system, which can cause damage to organs and tissues, as well as an increased risk of infection. in severe cases, fluid overload can lead to organ failure and even death.
