  3. Imputabilityandseverity • High imputability: • ~ 60 % of all reportedtransfusionreactions (TR‘s) • ~ 60 % ofreported TACO • Severity grade 3 or 4 (lifethreateningor fatal) • 2.7 % of all reportedTR‘s • 25 % ofreported TACO Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013

  6. Definition(s) of TACO • ISBT WP on Haemovigilance, July 2011: • Acuterespiratorydistress • Tachycardia • Increasedbloodpressure • Acute or worsening pulmonary • oedema on frontal chest X-ray • Evidence of positive fluid balance • within 6 hours of transfusion. • An elevated BNP is supportive of TACO • Transfusion reactions • (Popovsky et al, AABB Press, 3rd edition) • Dyspnoea • Orthopnoea • Cyanosis • Tachycardia • Increasedbloodpressure • Pulmonary / pedal oedema • withinseveralhoursof transfusion • Nonspecificmanifestations • Headache • Tightness in thechest • Dry cough Occurrence of any or all of the following: • Occurrence of any 4 of the following: Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013

  21. Grade 3 &4 TACO - Preventability Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013

  22. Grade 3 & 4 TACO - Preventability transfusion rate: 2-4 ml/minute Absence ofriskfactors • Recommended precautions: • limittransfusion rate: 1 ml/kg bw/h • assess fluid balance • carefulmonitoringofpatient • considertherapeuticoptions • evaluatepatientforeachtransfusion Oneknownriskfactor Severalriskfactors Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013

  23. Key findings • Most reported TACO cases occurred in patients > 60y • TACO is mainly associated with RBC transfusion • 25 % were life threatening or fatal • Age > 60 is the most common singlerisk factor • Several risk factors  increased severity Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013

  24. Main clinical aspects • Presentation • hypertensionanddyspnoeaarethemostcommonbut non-specificsymptoms • Thecombinationofdyspnoeaandhypoxaemiaindicate an increasedlikelihoodfor a life-threateningor fatal courseoftheevent ► measuresaturation ! • Management of TACO • Recogniseandact on unspecificsymptoms • In caseofdyspnoeacheck O2-saturation • Look out foradditional symptoms • Considerdiuretics,nitratesandoxygen Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013

  25. Prevention • Assessriskfactors • Base decisiontotransfuse on benefit/riskassessment • Take overall fluid balanceintoaccount • In presenceofoneormoreriskfactors: • Prescribelowtransfusion rate of max. 1 ml/kg bw/h • Monitor patientcarefully (BP, HR, respiration, SaO2) • Assesspatientanewforeachunittobetransfused Swisstransfusion, 06.09.2013
