Just wondering... ...isn't it that the first correct answer gets kudoz? Probably not a big deal, just curious :)
Dylan Edwards (asker) Dec 8, 2020:
I did find 'HCN' elsewhere in the text after all, where it's listed with other medication.

pre-medication with hydrocortisone

...or, if you want to sound fancy :=), you could say "pre-transfusion medication regimen with hydrocortisone"

The idea is to use anti‐inflammatory drugs (there are many kinds, steroids are just one option (HCN is a steroid, btw)) to try to prevent transfusion-related allergic reactions.

hydrocortison

Cold Abs typically is an autoimmune issue and can cause hemolytic reaction. As a treatment, steroids may be used. See the link. However, all the evidence I was able to find is very weak.

Another explanation might be that HCN is a home-made abbreviation for some kind of blood preheating treatment/device used to avoid the cold Abs effect. However, 'pod clonou' sounds really like some kind of pre/comedication.

The third possible scenario is that HCN is a typo for something else. If the source file is a poorly (re)scanned file, is there any chance the acro can by interpreted differently?
Note from asker:
Thanks for the explanation. The text is clear and generally this text (5 pages) is remarkably free of typos, compared with many others I've seen. 'HCN' only comes up once.
