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 report a case of TRALI in a 63-year old man with alcoholic liver disease. He developed hypoxemia and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema after red blood cell transfusion. Given an oxygen support, he recovered after 4 days.
