Denver Blood Transfusion Malpractice Lawyer

Not all blood cells are created equal. If you are facing surgery and will be in need of a blood transfusion, your blood type and only your blood type will do. Unfortunately, this is a medical arena where mistakes are frequently made.

Human error in the handling of blood may be caused by one or more of the following:

Storing of multiple patients’ blood in the same refrigerator
Insufficient staff training and inadequate staffing
Frequent turnover of blood draw and storage employees due to low pay
Multiple transfusions being executed at the same time
Mistakes made in labeling of blood and identification of patients
Lack of informed consent for a blood transfusion
Failure to notice the symptoms of a bad transfusion reaction
Insufficient blood and patient verification procedures
Multiple blood samples being cross-matched simultaneously or a cross-match started before the order is received
Surgeons may delay too long or may altogether fail to administer a transfusion to a patient in need

Blood samples may not have been properly screened and may hold deadly hepatitis or AIDS viruses. Improper handling or storage of the blood may cause it to become tainted and cause serious infections and even death. Receiving the wrong blood type may result in the creation of dangerous blood clots. And, the most frequent cause of blood transfusion-related death is AHTR (acute hemolytic transfusion reaction.)
