Abstract
- Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is defined as a new episode of acute lung injury that occurs during or within 6 hours of a completed transfusion, which has been the leading cause of transfusion-related death. We present a suspected case of TRALI in a 30-year-old parturient with gestational ITP scheduled for cesarean section. The parturient developed hypoxemia and pulmonary edema after platelet concentrate transfusion during perioperative period. The parturient completely recovered after an oxygen support for 4 days. It is important to recognize TRALI as soon as possible to minimize perioperative morbidity and mortality.
