Lesão pulmonar aguda relacionada à transfusão (TRALI –Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury) é uma complicação grave da transfusão sanguínea que cursa essencialmente com desconforto respiratório durante ou dentro de 6 horas depois de completada a transfusão. Apesar de ser considerada rara e a lesão pulmonar ser geralmente transitória, traz preocupação aos profissionais da área da saúde, visto que está associada à alta morbidade dos pacientes que necessitaram de suporte ventilatório, assim como a alta mortalidade. Sua incidência não está bem estabelecida, muito devido à falta de preparo para identificar os casos suspeitos. Assim, os relatos de casos ganham relevância tanto para contribuir que o diagnóstico desta patologia seja alcançado com mais facilidade quanto para estimular que os casos sejam notificados. O presente relato descreve a ocorrência de TRALI em paciente no segundo dia de pós-operatório de cesárea por pré- eclâmpsia e síndrome Hellp que evoluiu com suspeita de hemoperitônio sendo submetida a laparotomia exploratória (LE).---Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious complication of blood transfusion that evolves mainly with respiratory distress during or within 6 hours after transfusion. Although considered rare and is usually transient lung injury, she brings concern to health professionals, as it is associated with high morbidity of patients requiring ventilatory support, as well as the high mortality. Its incidence is not well established, much due to lack of preparation to identify suspected cases. Thus, case reports gain relevance to contribute to the diagnosis of this condition is more easily achieved as to stimulate the cases are reported. This report describes the occurrence of TRALI in a patient on the second day after surgery by cesarean preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome who developed suspected hemoperitoneum and underwent exploratory laparotomy (LE).

Background: With the outbreak of COVID19, acute lung injury has been detected as the main etiology for intensive care admission and high mortality rate. Among the infected population, there is some percentage of those who tend to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure. Thus, the intensivist and anesthesiologist must be aware of the of incidence rate of ARDS, risk factors, and try to take measures to reduce its incidence. To define the rate of incidence of acute lung injury and ARDS among COVID 19 patient. Methods: We performed a narrative review via searching in three databases PubMed, Google Scholar and Embase for all studies that mentioned the incidence of acute lung injury among infected patients with COVID19, manual searching also completed. All the selected reviews were limited to the English language and data also. Results: Five searches referred to the exact number of patients and the percentage rate of incidence of ARDS related to COVID 19 infection, other articles are merely reviews and case reports. Conclusion: Incidence of acute lung injury among COVID19 patient was highly reported, and some percentage of these cases tend to develop ARDS especially in those who have preexisting diseases and obesity.
