- Abstract
Many patients need transfusion of blood products for various reasons. Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an important and potentially fatal complication which is the leading cause of transfusion-related deaths. It is a form of acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. It can be diagnosed according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Working Group or the Canadian Consensus Conference criteria. Diagnosis requires an acute onset of hypoxemia with a ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fractional inspired oxygen concentration (PaO2/FiO2) less than 300 mmHg or oxygen saturation of ≤90% in room air associated with bilateral infiltrates on frontal chest radiograph in the absence of signs of circulatory overload. Herein, we present a 59-year-old male case with iatrogenic intraabdominal bleeding due to paracentesis who developed TRALI following fresh frozen plasma transfusion.
