What symptom is NOT associated with Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury?

Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is a serious complication that can occur following a blood transfusion, characterized primarily by acute respiratory distress. The symptoms commonly associated with TRALI include dyspnea (difficulty breathing), tachycardia (increased heart rate), and cyanosis (a bluish color of the skin due to lack of oxygen).

While hypotension can occur in various types of transfusion reactions, it is not a hallmark symptom of TRALI. Instead, TRALI primarily presents with pulmonary symptoms due to an acute inflammatory response in the lungs, leading to fluid accumulation and impaired gas exchange. Understanding the specific symptoms of TRALI helps in recognizing and managing this complication promptly, ensuring that patients receive appropriate care while minimizing risks associated with blood transfusions.
