Y61.1: During infusion or transfusion

The condition identified by ICD-10 code Y61.1 refers to issues that occur during infusion or transfusion. It primarily includes medical complications that can happen when fluids, medications, or blood products are given intravenously, usually via a vein. Issues can range from mild to severe in nature. Mild cases might involve localized reactions at the infusion site, such as skin redness, swelling or discomfort. More severe cases could, however, involve systemic responses such as allergic reactions, bacterial infections, or negative reactions to the transfused substances. The time frame considered 'during infusion or transfusion' is not limited to the administration phase, but also covers the immediate period afterwards when reactions are likely to occur. This condition doesn't specify a particular disease or illness, but rather categorizes a set of unexpected health events linked to infusion or transfusion procedures.
