Blood Transfusion Safety: TRALI vs TACO

Join us as we explore blood transfusion safety, focusing specifically on Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) and Transfusion-Associated Circulatory Overload (TACO). Tailored for general hematologists with a foundational understanding of transfusion medicine, this session delves into the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, and management strategies for TRALI and TACO. Through advanced discussions, participants will deepen their knowledge of these complications, enabling them to recognize, diagnose, and manage TRALI and TACO effectively in clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

1. Gain a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of TRALI and TACO.
2. Familiarize with the diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of TRALI and TACO.
3. Develop effective management strategies for TRALI and TACO to ensure transfusion safety and enhance patient outcomes.
