Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TRALI (Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury) is a rare but potentially fatal acute lung injury that occurs within six hours of a blood transfusion. It is caused by the transfused blood product triggering an immune response in the recipient, leading to inflammation in the lungs and fluid buildup in the air sacs. TALI (Transfusion-Associated Lung Injury) and TACI (Transfusion-Associated Circulatory Overload) are other transfusion-related complications but do not specifically involve acute lung injury within six hours of transfusion. TACO (Transfusion-Associated Circulatory Overload) is a complication where the volume of transfused blood is more than the capacity of the recipient's circulatory system, leading to fluid overload and heart failure.
