[2025-09-30T16:17:07.561813] [PI reasoning] **Identifying transfusion complications**

The user is looking for the best answer regarding complications of massive blood transfusion. It seems this is a straightforward multiple-choice question. I’ll check literature on how massive transfusion impacts acid-base balance. Massive transfusion often leads to metabolic alkalosis due to citrate being metabolized into bicarbonate. Initially, it can also cause metabolic acidosis because of the low pH and lactate in stored blood. Common answers in textbooks highlight metabolic alkalosis, but they also mention other complications like hypocalcemia and coagulopathy.
