Y60.1: During infusion or transfusion

During infusion or transfusion, a medical condition can occur due to invasive procedures, typically involving unexpected responses or complications related to the process or the substances infused/transfused. An infusion or transfusion is a medical procedure, often used for administering fluids, medications, or blood products into a patient's bloodstream. Problems can arise during this process, including allergic reactions to the substances infused, mechanical issues like leakage or misplacement of the infusion device, or infections caused by contamination. Symptoms can range from mild, like localized swelling or redness at the infusion site, to severe, like shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, and fever. The condition's progression entirely depends upon the nature and severity of the incident, and can impact various systems of the body, from the localized tissue damage to systemic infections or reactions. It's important to understand that not every patient will experience complications during infusions or transfusions, as such events are commonly the exception rather than the rule.
