Abstract

Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a rare, fatal complication which is often overlooked in clinical practice. The diagnosis is primarily based on exclusion of other causes of acute lung damage. The clinical scenario is acute respiratory failure following blood transfusion, not caused by infection or heart failure. Treating TRALI includes: Mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic support, corticosteroids, and protection patient from possible multi-organ failure.
