PRE-TRANSFUSION DUAL VERIFICATION: Rigorous bedside two-person cross-verification of patient identity, blood group, donor unit number, expiry date, and blood bank compatibility cross-match forms prior to spiking the unit.

STERILE CANNULATION & FILTERED INFUSION SETUP: Placement or verification of an appropriate gauge peripheral intravenous cannula (18G–20G) connected to a sterile blood administration set with a standard 170–260 micron microaggregate filter.

CONTROLLED BLOOD PRODUCT INFUSION: Infusion initiation at a slow baseline rate for the initial 15 minutes, followed by controlled administration calibrated to complete the unit within the mandated 2-to-4-hour safety window.

CONTINUOUS REACTION & VITAL SURVEILLANCE: Periodic tracking of baseline and intra-procedure blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$) to detect early hemolytic, febrile, or allergic transfusion reactions.

POST-TRANSFUSION MONITORING & WASTE DISPOSAL: Final vital signs assessment, cannula flush with normal saline, documented post-transfusion notes, and safe biohazard containment of empty blood bags and tubing per biomedical waste norms.
