Postexchange transfusion-related acute lung injury in a term neonate.
BMJ Case Reports 2024 May 4
We report a successful case where a newborn with transfusion-related acute lung injury following an exchange transfusion was effectively treated using conservative methods, eliminating the need for surfactant therapy. Very few instances of this complication have been documented globally. A low birth weight, small for gestational age, term neonate, diagnosed with hyperbilirubinaemia due to Rh incompatibility, experienced sudden respiratory distress in the form of severe retractions, tachypnoea and cyanosis 3 hours after the procedure. Neonate required mechanical ventilation on the grounds of mixed acidosis and diffuse alveolar infiltrates on the chest radiograph. The medical team suspected and treated the baby for transfusion-related acute lung injury through conservative measures. Transfusion-related acute lung injury, an acute life-threatening complication of blood component transfusion, can exhibit symptoms in neonates that are frequently misinterpreted as sepsis. The baby was discharged in good health after successful management after 19 days.
