Monitoring TRALI Mitigation Strategies through Hemovigilance
Description
This workshop will review the results of two major NHLBI clinical studies on transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). The first is a multi-year prospective study of TRALI incidence, epidemiological correlates, and laboratory findings conducted at the U. California, San Francisco, and Mayo Clinic. The second is a retrospective look-back study of recipients of HLA antibody-positive blood components (the LAPS-II study) conducted as part of REDS-II. The third talk will assess the newest information on the effectiveness of TRALI risk reduction strategies from surveillance systems in North America and in European countries.
-
Assess whether look-back data provide evidence for HLA antibody involvement in the etiology of TRALI.
-
Discuss the incidence, recipient and donor risk factors, and effect of plasma mitigation in a prospective, case-control study of TRALI.
-
Evaluate the effectiveness of the measures taken by blood centers to mitigate the risk of TRALI from plasma transfusion.
