Here’s something
to think about… back in the day transfusion trigger limits were a *lot*
higher than they are these days. We’d give three or four units of blood where
these days we’d only give one. And back in the day we were investigating quite
a few alleged transfusion reactions which were characterized by post
transfusion fevers. We’d do blood cultures… but nothing ever grew.
Were we seeing fevers related to transfusion associated circulatory overload?
