Transfusion-related acute lung injury in the paediatric population
نویسنده
چکیده
Transfusion of blood products can lead to various transfusion reactions. Transfusion reactions that can cause pulmonary complications are: circulatory overload, anaphylactic reactions, bacterial contamination and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). TRALI is a rare but life-threatening complication of transfusion. TRALI is now the leading cause of transfusion-related fatalities reported to the US FDA1 and to the Transfusion-Transmitted Injuries Surveillance System (TTISS) in Canada (unpublished results).
