Introduction: Blood transfusion is a remedial intercession and a fundamental fragment of Current medical services framework. As indicated by the WHO the bonding is an action of moving blood or blood-items taken from a giver into the vasculature and in this manner the flowing blood of the recipient, done by embeddings an IV Needle/Catheter in the patient and followed by use of blood or the blood-items. In any case, the dangers of non-irresistible difficulties have gotten more obvious. These nonirresistible complexities called as adverse transfusion reactions (ATRs) can either be intense in nature or follow a postponed course. Transfusion reaction is any unanticipated impact that happens in a patient during or subsequent to accepting blood and the blood-items. These can be agreed as intense transfusion responses, happening inside 24 hours of transfusion and deferred bonding responses happens inside the space of days or long periods of bonding. Intense and moderate responses can be additionally classified as insusceptible interceded and non-immune-intervened. Methodology: The prospective and observational study was carried at Department of Pediatric Oncology & Thalassemia unit for a period of 6 months. The population required for the study includes patients undergoing blood transfusions. Results: In study data out of 83 units, 61 units of PCV was transfused (73.49%), 6 units of Platelet was transfused (7.22%), 14 units of Whole Blood was transfused (16.86%), 1 units of Fresh Frozen Plasma was transfused (1.20%), and 1 units of RBC was transfused (1.20%). The chance of an ADR occurrence with every transfusion is 0.4. The P value is less than .05 so it is statically significant. It is positively correlated, having a high impact on the number of transfusion and rate of incidence of ADR. Conclusion: While a Blood transfusion is given for unavoidable situation the important factors to be kept under consideration are ADR following transfusion which can be the common complication observed. The study also concludes that the rate of incidence of ADR is increased significantly as the number of transfusion increases.
