Thank you all for the responses. Our state pretty much follows AABB recommendations so they are minimalistic.

Recently there has been some discussion between nursing and the transfusion service about the frequency of vital signs taken during a transfusion. Our current policy is to have the transfusionist take the patient's vitals at the start of the transfusion, 15 minute mark, 30 minute mark and every 30 minutes thereafter until the completion of the transfusion. I am requesting feedback from the members as to what their hospital policies are.
