Marlene is right...
I know in Grant's case, he has never gotten more than 3 units at a time but when he does get 3, he is given Lasix (a diuretic) between the 2nd and 3rd unit to get rid of some of that excess fluid. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the concern is that with too much volume being transfused, blood pressure can become dangerously high.
