from Pulse Check with Archer Nursing · host Archer Review
What happens inside the body when a blood transfusion goes wrong — and what should a nurse do about it?

We walk through a real clinical case with a 62-year-old patient receiving packed red blood cells after a GI bleed, and follow the nurse step by step from baseline vitals to a developing reaction, covering exactly what to assess, what to do first, and why the order of your actions matters.
