Is patient death caused by wrong blood type transfusion?

Yes, patient death can occur due to a wrong blood type transfusion. When incompatible blood is transfused, it can trigger a severe immune response, leading to hemolysis, organ failure, and potentially death. Adverse reactions can vary in severity, but in critical cases, they can result in fatal outcomes if not promptly managed. Therefore, strict protocols for blood type matching are essential in transfusion practices to prevent such tragedies.
