Abstract
This case report presents a case of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) in a 50-year-old female patient who underwent total hysterectomy due to multiple fibromyomas. The patient developed dyspnea, heart palpitations, and fatigue postoperatively, with SpO2 dropping to 61%. Despite initially suspecting pulmonary embolism, the normal D-dimer level and characteristic changes observed on X-ray facilitated the diagnosis of TRALI. The patient was successfully treated with oxygen supplementation, intravenous corticosteroids, and thromboembolism prophylaxis, resulting in complete recovery. This case underscores the importance of considering TRALI in the differential diagnosis when patients exhibit respiratory distress following transfusion.
