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.
