Abstract:
According to data of international hemovigilance registries, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) has emerged as the leading cause of transfusion-related mortality. Errors in the transfusion process, leading to ABO incompatible transfusion, represent the second most frequent cause of transfusion-related mortality, while infection risks of transfusion declined significantly. The following article describes the clinical picture of TRALI, its pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria as well as therapy recommendations and discusses possible preventing measures.

Pneumothorax-I
Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
