DOI: 10.1097/nnd.0000000000000600
Abstract: Better education around the recognition of transfusion-associated adverse events is warranted. It is unknown if checklist use improves recognition by student nurses. This study examined whether using a checklist could improve transfusion-associated adverse event recognition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.15565
Abstract: Transfusion‐associated circulatory overload (TACO) is the predominant complication of transfusion resulting in death. The pathophysiology is poorly understood, but inability to manage volume is associated with TACO, and observational data suggest it is different from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.16300
Abstract: Hyperkalemia is a rare life‐threatening complication of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Stored RBCs leak intracellular potassium (K+) into the supernatant; irradiation potentiates the K+ leak. As the characteristics of patients and implicated RBCs have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/vox.13333
Abstract: Although it remains controversial, premedication before transfusion is a common clinical practice to prevent transfusion‐associated adverse reactions (TAARs) in Taiwan. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether premedication prevented outpatients from developing TAARs and whether an… read more here.
