    We tell our clinicians to do exactly that, yes. Likely it won't turn into an anaphylactic event, but it could, so STOP and initiate a transfusion workup. Give benadryl and watch the patient. For future transfusions, pre-treat with benadryl - even though it's likely a response to that one specific donor's plasma proteins, and a bag from a different donor may not provoke a reaction.
