5. Observe the rate of flow every hour. Compare the rate of flow
regularly.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
11. Observe the drip chamber. If it is less than half full, squeeze
the chamber to correct amount of fluid to flow in.
12. Open the drip regulator and observe for a rapid flow of fluid
from the solution container into the drip chamber. Then
partially close the drip regulator to reestablish the prescribed
rate of flow.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
13. Inspect tubing for pinches or kinks or obstructions to flow.
Arrange the tubing so that it is lightly coiled and under no
pressure. If it is dangling below the venipuncture, coil it
carefully on the surface of the bed.
14. Lower the solution container below the level of the infusion
site and observe for a return flow of blood from the vein.
15. Check for leakage. Locate the source. If the leak is at the
catheter connection, tighten the tubing into the catheter.

17. Inspect the infusion site for fluid infiltration
a. Palpate the surrounding tissue for edema.

20. Be alert to signs of circulatory overload.
22. If the client is able, teach him or her when to call for
assistance, e.g., if the solution stops dripping or the
venipuncture site becomes swollen.

PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
1. Verify doctor’s written order for blood transfusion.
2. Obtain client’s consent before the transfusion. Informed
consent involves explaining medical indications for transfusion,
benefits, risks, and alternatives.
10. Wrap blood with clean towel and keep it at room temperature
for no more than 30 minutes before starting the transfusion.
11. Verify the client’s identity by asking the full name and/or
checking the arm band for name and ID number.
12. Get the baseline V/S: BP, RR, Temperature before transfusion
and refer to M.D accordingly.
13. Give pre-med 30 minutes before transfusion as prescribed.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
17. If the main line is with dextrose 5% initiate an IV line with
appropriate IV catheter with plain NSS on another site, anchor
catheter properly and allow a small amount of solution to
infuse to make sure there are no problems with the flow or the
venipuncture site.
18. Prepare the blood bag. Invert the blood bag gently several
times to mix the cells with the plasma.
19. Expose the port on the blood bag by pulling back the tabs.
20. Spike blood bag port carefully and hang the unit. Be sure
blood clamp is closed.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
21. Gently squeeze the flexible sides of the drip chamber to
reestablish the liquid level with drip chamber one-third full.
Make sure filter is submerged in the blood.
22. Open the clamp and prime tubing and remove air bubbles if
any. Use needle G 18 or G 19 for side drip (for adults) or G 22
(for pediatrics).
23. Disinfect the Y-injection port of IV tubing (PNSS) and insert
the needle from BT administration and secure with adhesive
tape.
24. Shut off the primary IV and begin the blood transfusion.
25. Run the blood slowly for the first 15 minutes at 20 gtts/min.
Note adverse reactions, such as chilling, nausea, vomiting,
skin rash, or tachycardia.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
26. Observe the client for the first 5 to 10 minutes of transfusion.
28. Document relevant data. Record time blood was started, V/S,
type of blood, blood serial #, sequence # (e.g. #1 of three
ordered units), site of the venipuncture, size of the needle,
and drip rate.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
32. If any untoward reaction or signs occur, stop the transfusion
immediately and notify the physician ASAP.
33. When blood is consumed, don glove, close the roller clamp of
BT set and disconnect from IV line. Flush the line with saline
solution by opening the mainline and adjust the drip to desired
rate.
34. Re-check Hgb, Hct, bleeding time, serial platelet count within
specified time as prescribed &/or per institution’s policy.
PROCEDURE RATIONALE 1 2 3 4 5
35. Discard the administration set according to agency practice.
Needles should be placed in a labeled puncture-resistant
container designed for such disposal. Blood bags and
administration sets should be bagged and labeled before being
sent for decontamination and processing.
38. Remind the doctor about the administration of Calcium to maintain cardiac function and prevent hypocalcaemia
Gluconate if patient had several units of blood transfusion 93- that may lead to citrate toxicity.
