A 56-yeаr-оld femаle wаs scheduled fоr a tоtal abdominal hysterectomy. She has been in good health and is taking no medications.

Her surgery was performed successfully. 24-hours later it was noted that her hemoglobin had decreased to 8.7 g/dL with a hematocrit of 25% and it was decided to transfuse her. Within 2 hours of receiving the blood, the patient developed chills, fever, and tachycardia, and dyspnea. Her blood pressure was 110/68. The transfusion was discontinued. Patient received O2 by face mask, along with bronchodilators, steroids, and diuretics. There was no oliguria or hemoglobinuria. Patient showed persistent tachycardia and tachypnea on the third postoperative day, but her blood counts, urea, creatinine, and electrocardiograph were normal. BNP levels were not elevated.
