A case is presented in which a relatively modest blood transfusion resulted in acute hyperkalaemia with a βnearβmissβ cardiac arrest. While transfusionβrelated hyperkalaemia usually occurs in association with massive transfusions, several factors may have increased the risk of such an acute reaction
