I got 8 units summer of 2022 and now my hands have gone numb. I know at least one unit was vaxxed blood because they couldn't get it to flow. They increased the blood flow rate and nurse was pumping the inset unit in my arm trying to make it flow better. A second unit of blood was very slow to flow but not nearly as bad as the other.
I wouldn’t know if the blood flowed slowly or not. I was bleeding out on day one of my two day surgery and my surgeon had to call in a vascular surgeon to find the leak and cauterize it. I was in the ICU after surgery and held overnight NPO until my next day surgery. So not very aware of my surroundings at all. I was in and out of consciousness.
My husband said I was given more blood on the second day of surgery. But he didn’t know if I had sprung another leak or not. So I was pretty out of it the whole time.
Didn’t find out about it until I was on the regular ward. At that time they were giving me platelets for a couple of days and then I had to have a couple days of magnesium drips. Apparently my blood gasses were off.
