TRALI can occur after transfusion of packed RBCs, whole blood, platelets, fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate. Treatment is supportive, although high-dose steroids have been shown to be successful in old animal studies. In patients with documented TRALI, ideally, subsequent transfusions should be autologous, or in case of packed RBCs, washed to remove residual plasma. Links to this post.
