- TACO can occur after transfusion of any blood product but is strongly associated with red blood cell transfusions because of the volume infused per unit of red blood cells. 3, 7 A typical unit of red blood cells contains about 300 to 350 mL of fluid, which is a significant amount to be transfused at one time, especially in high-risk patients. 8-10 By contrast, fresh frozen plasma and platelets contain about 200 to 300 mL of fluid per unit. 11 TACO has historically not received much attention in...

Why a RBC transfusion? RBCs, also called erythrocytes, account for 40% to 45% of a person's blood volume. 3 Hb, the main component of RBCs, transports oxygen (O 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). A key function of RBCs is to transport O 2 from the lungs to body tissues and CO 2 back to the lungs.
The red blood cells (RBCs) from one person may enter into the circulation of another person in two different ways, either by a blood transfusion or by pregnancy. The RBCs will appear foreign if they contain antigens that are not found on the patient's own RBCs. Antigen processing.
