If no immediate reaction, maybe nothing will happen.  Shorten red cell survival?  Watch kidney function.

Just lucky I guess................. don't do it again........... who knows..........

There have been many cases of patients getting the wrong blood type with no reactions and no clinically ill effects.   A lot of factors are in play that we still do not have a good answer for.  In xenotransfusions, the "anti-species" antigen-antibody reaction is quite strong and causes clinically important issues, much more so than ABO.  However, can be suppressed to some extent with high does of corresponding sugar......

Be sure to post to let us know what the post-transfusion outcome.........

Thanks for the question/topic...
