OPERATIVE CONSENT FOR TRANSFUSION
SECTION NOT APPLICABLE FOR THIS PROCEDURE
I understand that it may be deemed necessary by my surgeon and/or anesthesiologist during or after surgery to give me blood or
blood component in order to restore blood volume or clotting factors and/or to improve oxygen carrying capacity. Though the
risks today are very low and blood is screened for transmittable diseases, potential risks of the transfusion of blood or blood
components include, but are not limited to , transfusion reactions, such as headache, fever, chills, rash, difficulty breathing,
