Abstract
Postpartum hemorrhage is a relatively common and highly morbid complication of the postpartum period that often requires management by specialized providers at tertiary care facilities. Critical care transport teams may be tasked with transporting postpartum patients who are already experiencing postpartum hemorrhage, but they should also be aware that other peripartum patients may be at risk for developing postpartum hemorrhage while in the process of transport. As such, it is imperative that transport providers understand the signs, symptoms, causes, and complications of postpartum hemorrhage as well as the options for intervention and treatment. This article reviews the current clinical evidence regarding resuscitation and medical management strategies that transport teams should be familiar with as well as more advanced and invasive management techniques they may encounter and be expected to monitor during transport, such as balloon tamponade and aortic balloon occlusion.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e17371.

Abstract
Purpose Blood transfusion; is considered an organ transplant. In coronary bypass surgery, large volumes of homologous blood transfusion may be required due to excessive bleeding. The large number of use of homologous blood transfusion in open heart surgery and the awareness of its various harmful effects have prompted researchers to conduct research on the use of autologous blood. With autologous transfusion, blood diseases, incompatibility, immunosuppression and organ damage can be prevented and the patient can be extubated earlier in the postoperative period. Methods Between January 2020 and January 2016, a total of 176 patients, 56 in the treatment group (with autologous blood transfusion) and 120 in the control group, whose information could be reached from hospital records were investigated retrospectively. Results No statistical difference was found between the mean intubation SO2 and PO2 values of the groups. On the contrary, considering the mean intubation times in the intensive care unit of both groups, the patients who underwent autologous blood transfusion were extubated at a statistically significant earlier time. Conclusion Autologous blood transfusion is a safe method in selected patients as well. Thanks to this method, patients are protected from complications associated with homologous blood transfusion. It is believed that performing autologous blood transfusion in selected patients undergoing open-heart surgery can decrease the number of postoperative transfusions, frequency of transfusion-related complications (especially in the lungs), and mean intubation times.

Abstract
Oncological surgery, obstetric haemorrhage and severe trauma are the most challenging conditions for establishing clinical recommendations for the use of cell salvage. When the likelihood of allogeneic transfusion is high, the intraoperative use of this blood-saving technique would be justified, but specific patient selection criteria are needed. The main concerns in the case of oncological surgery are the reinfusion of tumour cells, thereby increasing the risk of metastasis. This threat could be minimized, which may help to rationalize its indication. In severe peripartum haemorrhage, cell salvage has not proven cost-effective, damage control techniques have been developed, and, given the risk of fetomaternal alloimmunization and amniotic fluid embolism, it is increasingly out of use. In trauma, bleeding may originate from multiple sites, coagulopathy may develop, and it should be evaluated whether re-transfusion of autologous blood collected from uncontaminated organ cavities would be feasible. General safety measures include washing recovered blood and its passage through leukocyte depletion filters. To date, no well-defined indications for cell salvage have been established for these pathologies, but with accurate case selection and selective implementation, it could become safe and effective. Randomized clinical trials are urgently needed.

Abstract
Pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with significant perioperative blood loss needing blood product transfusion. Transfusion carries serious risks and implications on clinical outcomes in this vulnerable population. The need for transfusion is higher in children and is attributed to several factors including immaturity of the hemostatic system, hemodilution from the CPB circuit, excessive activation of the hemostatic system, and preoperative anticoagulant drugs. Other patient characteristics such as smaller relative size of the patient, higher metabolic and oxygen requirements make successful blood transfusion management extremely challenging in this population and require meticulous planning and multidisciplinary teamwork. In this narrative review we aim to summarize risks and complications associated with blood transfusion in pediatric cardiac surgery and also to summarize perioperative coagulation management and blood conservation strategies.

Abstract
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), defined as the onset of acute respiratory distress after blood transfusion, is a rare complication which is a leading cause of transfusion related-mortality. In this retrospective study, we report the French nationwide experience of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-related TRALI, with a literature review and analysis of management and outcome of this rare condition. With the pharmacovigilance services, we conducted a retrospective multicenter study in the French network of intensive care units with TRALI concomitant to IVIG use and pooled with data from a literature review. Overall, 17 cases have been included in this case-series, our case report, seven personal cases and nine cases from the literature review. The median age was 55 years [2-79] with 10/17 (59%) male subjects. The underlying diseases motivating IVIG infusion were neurologic diseases in 35% of cases (Guillain Barre syndrome = 2, peripheral neuropathy = 2, neurolupus = 1, myasthenia = 1), multiple myeloma with hypogammaglobulinemia (n = 2; 12%), primary hypogammaglobulinemia (n = 2; 12%), autoimmune cytopenias (n = 2; 12%), graft versus host cutaneous disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukaemia (n = 1), anti-HLA antibodies after lung transplant (n = 1), cancer-associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-haemolytic uremic syndrome (n = 1), Kawasaki disease (n = 1) and in experimental essay (n = 1). TRALI symptoms begin either after the start or during the infusion (n = 7; 41%), or after the infusion (n = 10; 59%, 10 min to 24 h). Besides respiratory distress, it was also noted shock (33%), fever (18 %), cough (18%), nausea/vomiting (18 %), chills (12%) and agitation (12%). The X-ray showed mainly bilateral alveolar opacities (n = 15; 88%). Mechanical ventilation was needed in nine cases (53%), with median 1-day duration [1-4]. Four patients (24%) died during hospitalisation in the intensive care unit. Given the increasing use of intravenous immunoglobulins, TRALI must now be discussed in cases of respiratory distress occurring during or immediately following the infusion even if this side effect remains rare.Key Points• TRALI must now be discussed in cases of respiratory distress occurring during or immediately following an infusion of intravenous immunoglobulins.

Abstract
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a complication of blood product transfusion characterized by respiratory distress with bilateral lung infiltrates and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema developing within six hours of transfusion. TRALI is believed to result from an immunological response to transfused blood products. TRALI is a clinical diagnosis that requires the exclusion of other etiologies of pulmonary edema and acute lung injury. Here we report a case of a female who presented to the emergency department in acute respiratory distress two days after receiving a transfusion of packed red blood cells for post-operative anemia following a hysterectomy.

Abstract
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common and life-threatening event in cancer patients. It is the leading cause of admission to ICU among the patients with hematologic and solid malignancies and is often associated with poor outcome. Timely identification of the cause of ARF and the initiation of the appropriate therapy may improve the survival. Pulmonary infections represent the leading cause of ARF in those patients, and unless proven otherwise, ARF must be considered as an infectious emergency. Noninfectious causes of ARF include cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, acute pulmonary embolism, and complications related both to the underlying malignancy and the toxic effects of chemotherapy. This chapter reviews the most common causes of ARF in oncologic patients and discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic approach before ICU admission.

Abstract
Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a life-threatening complication of blood product transfusion. It is the leading cause of blood product transfusion related death in the USA. The syndrome is defined by hypoxemic respiratory failure with bilateral infiltrates on chest X-ray in the setting of a blood transfusion and absence of cardiac failure. The exact incidence of TRALI is unknown, but the incidence is higher in the critically ill patient population. Multiple patient and donor related risk factors for TRALI exist, including critically illness, alcohol use, and receiving transfusions with high plasma volumes. Practitioners should have a low index of suspicion for the diagnosis of TRALI, and blood bank reporting is vital to aid in diagnosis and future prevention. Management is primarily supportive care, with supplemental oxygen as the mainstay for therapy. Despite the transient course of TRALI, its morbidity is severe with the majority of patients requiring mechanical ventilation and treatment in the intensive care unit. For patients that survive TRALI, outcomes are promising without residual pulmonary deficits. Prevention strategies over the past 10 years have helped to decrease the incidence of TRALI and have led to increased awareness of this condition in the medical field.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (SAKI) remains an important challenge in critical care medicine. We reviewed current available evidence on prevention and treatment of SAKI with focus on some recent advances and developments. Prevention of SAKI starts with early and ample fluid resuscitation preferentially with crystalloid solutions. Balanced crystalloids have no proven superior benefit. Renal function can be evaluated by measuring lactate clearance rate, renal Doppler, or central venous oxygenation monitoring. Assuring sufficiently high central venous oxygenation most optimally prevents SAKI, especially in the post-operative setting, whereas lactate clearance better assesses mortality risk when SAKI is present. Although the adverse effects of an excessive “kidney afterload” are increasingly recognized, there is actually no consensus regarding an optimal central venous pressure. Noradrenaline is the vasopressor of choice for preventing SAKI. Intra-abdominal hypertension, a potent trigger of AKI in post-operative and trauma patients, should not be neglected in sepsis. Early renal replacement therapy (RRT) is recommended in fluid-overloaded patients’ refractory to diuretics but compelling evidence about its usefulness is still lacking. Continuous RRT (CRRT) is advocated, though not sustained by convincing data, as the preferred modality in hemodynamically unstable SAKI. Diuretics should be avoided in the absence of hypervolemia. Antimicrobial dosing during CRRT needs to be thoroughly reconsidered to assure adequate infection control.

Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome is a serious and dangerous complication usually associated with antiblastic treatment in some malignancies characterized by high cell turn-over. Mild or severe electrolyte abnormalities including high serum levels of uric acid, potassium, phosphorus, creatinine, bun and reduction of calcium can be responsible for multi-organ failure, involving mostly kidneys, heart and central nervous system. Renal damage can be followed by acute renal failure, weight gain, progressive liver impairment, overproduction of cytokines, and subsequent maintenance of multi-organ damage. Life-threatening acute respiratory failure associated with tumor lysis syndrome is rare. We describe a child with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who developed an unusually dramatic tumor lysis syndrome, after administration of the first low doses of steroid, that was rapidly associated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Subsequent clinical course and treatment modalities that resulted in the gradual and full recovery of the child are also described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of reports on transfusion reactions address adult patients. Less is known about the types, incidence, and other clinical details of transfusion reactions in pediatric populations. Furthermore, to our knowledge, there have been no previous reports directly comparing these aspects between adults and pediatric patient populations to assess if there are differences. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Between the period of January 1, 2011, and February 1, 2013, all reported adult and pediatric transfusion reactions at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) were evaluated by transfusion medicine clinical service. The information was subsequently shared with the hemovigilance database. Data provided to hemovigilance included age, sex, blood product associated with the reaction, severity of the reaction, and the type of transfusion reactions. These were collated with hospital and blood bank information system-acquired data on overall admission and product transfusion. RESULTS A total of 133,671 transfusions were performed at VUMC during the study period including 20,179 platelet (PLT) transfusions, 31,605 plasma transfusions, 79,933 red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, and 2154 cryoprecipitate transfusions. Over the same period, 108 pediatric and 277 adult transfusion reactions were recorded. This corresponds to an incidence of 6.2 reactions per 1000 transfusions within the pediatric (age < 21) population and an incidence of 2.4 reactions per 1000 transfusions within the adult population. In both adult and pediatric populations, transfusion reactions were most commonly associated with PLT, followed by RBC, and then plasma transfusions. Within the pediatric population, subset analysis identified multiple differences when compared to the adult population, including an increased incidence of allergic transfusion reactions (2.7/1000 vs. 1.1/1000, p < 0.001), febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (1.9/1000 vs. 0.47/1000, p < 0.001), and hypotensive transfusion reactions (0.29/1000 vs. 0.078/1000, p < 0.05). Interestingly, while the reaction incidence was the same between sexes in adults, in pediatric patients, reactions were more common in male patients (7.9/1000 pediatric males vs. 4.3/1000 pediatric females, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION To our knowledge this is the first study to provide detailed comparisons of acute transfusion reactions to all blood products between pediatric and adult populations at a single institution and supported by a single transfusion service and culture. Collectively these data provide insight into pediatric transfusion reactions and demonstrate a general increase in the incidence of transfusion reactions within the pediatric compared to adult population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Post-transfusion reactions with dyspnoea (PTR) are major causes of morbidity and death after blood transfusion. Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) are most dangerous, while transfusion-associated dyspnoea (TAD) is a milder respiratory distress. We investigated blood components for immune and non-immune factors implicated in PTR. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analysed 464 blood components (RBCs, PLTs, L-PLTs, FFP) transfused to 271 patients with PTR. Blood components were evaluated for 1/antileucocyte antibodies, 2/cytokines: IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, sCD40L, 3/lysophosphatidylcholines (LysoPCs), 4/microparticles (MPs) shed from plateletes (PMPs), erythrocytes (EMPs) and leucocytes (LMPs). RESULTS Anti-HLA class I/II antibodies or granulocyte-reactive anti-HLA antibodies were detected in 18.2% of blood components (RBC and FFP) transfused to TRALI and in 0.5% of FFP transfused to TAD cases. Cytokines and LysoPCs concentrations in blood components transfused to PTR patients did not exceed those in blood components transfused to patients with no PTR. Only EMPs percentage in RBCs transfused to patients with TRALI was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in RBCs transfused to patients with no PTR. CONCLUSION Immune character of PTR was confirmed mainly in 1/5 TRALI cases. Among non-immune factors, only MPs released from stored RBCs are suggested as potential mediators of TRALI. Our results require further observations in a more numerous and better defined group of patients.

Abstract
A 39-year-old man with cholangiocarcinoma presented with fever and abdominal pain. He was hypotensive, jaundiced and had right upper quadrant tenderness. Laboratory testing showed a leucocytosis, elevated liver function tests, total bilirubin and International Normalised Ratio (INR). Given the concern for cholangitis, the patient was given antibiotics and three units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) before biliary drain placement. After drain placement, and within 3 h of receiving blood products, the patient became tachypnoeic and hypoxic with a chest X-ray revealing new bilateral airspace disease. The rapid development of respiratory distress was determined to most likely be transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). He rapidly progressed to intubation and required 100% FiO2, high positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and intermittent-prone ventilation for 48 h but eventually recovered and was extubated. TRALI is an under-recognised aetiology for respiratory distress in the critically ill. Adopting a conservative transfusion strategy may prevent TRALI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) is associated with an increased risk of intraoperative blood loss and the necessity of transfusions. This prospective randomised clinical study evaluates the influence of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) on blood loss in RRP. MATERIALS AND METHODS 235 patients were randomised: TEA in group 1 (n = 116; general anaesthesia + TEA) comprised continuous administration of 0.25% bupivacaine, while group 2 (n = 119; general anaesthesia alone) received intravenous analgesia with fentanyl (intubation: 2 µg/kg; maintenance: 0.1-0.3 mg). A restrictive infusion regimen (<1,000 ml until specimen removal) was administered in both groups. Blood loss, infusion rates and anaesthesiological parameters were recorded and analysed using regression models and analyses of variance. RESULTS Haemoglobin difference between the pre- and the first postoperative day (group 1: 3.35 ± 1.16 g/dl; group 2: 3.56 ± 1.42 g/dl; p = 0.19), overall blood loss (group 1: 665 ± 431.5 ml; group 2: 705 ± 881 ml; p = 0.73) and transfusion rates (0.4% intraoperatively; 2.55% postoperatively; p = 1.0) did not show group differences. In regression analysis blood loss was influenced by preoperative haemoglobin levels (p < 0.0001), patients' weight (p = 0.018) and duration of the operation (p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS This study did not demonstrate a direct impact of TEA on intraoperative blood loss and transfusion rates in RRP. Further randomised clinical trials are needed to evaluate an impact of the different anaesthetic procedures presented alone or in combination on blood loss.

Abstract
Background Platelet component (PC) transfusion leads occasionally to inflammatory hazards. Certain BRMs that are secreted by the platelets themselves during storage may have some responsibility. Methodology/Principal Findings First, we identified non-stochastic arrangements of platelet-secreted BRMs in platelet components that led to acute transfusion reactions (ATRs). These data provide formal clinical evidence that platelets generate secretion profiles under both sterile activation and pathological conditions. We next aimed to predict the risk of hazardous outcomes by establishing statistical models based on the associations of BRMs within the incriminated platelet components and using decision trees. We investigated a large (n = 65) series of ATRs after platelet component transfusions reported through a very homogenous system at one university hospital. Herein, we used a combination of clinical observations, ex vivo and in vitro investigations, and mathematical modeling systems. We calculated the statistical association of a large variety (n = 17) of cytokines, chemokines, and physiologically likely factors with acute inflammatory potential in patients presenting with severe hazards. We then generated an accident prediction model that proved to be dependent on the level (amount) of a given cytokine-like platelet product within the indicated component, e.g., soluble CD40-ligand (>289.5 pg/109 platelets), or the presence of another secreted factor (IL-13, >0). We further modeled the risk of the patient presenting either a febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction or an atypical allergic transfusion reaction, depending on the amount of the chemokine MIP-1α (<20.4 or >20.4 pg/109 platelets, respectively). Conclusions/Significance This allows the modeling of a policy of risk prevention for severe inflammatory outcomes in PC transfusion.

Abstract
A Indo-Caribbean patient undergoing cardiac surgery developed Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) with massive endobronchial secretion of clear fluid mimicking severe pulmonary edema. Hypoxemia and lung stiffness were so severe that didn’t allow closure of the sternum on completion of surgery. The patient was treated with invasive ventilation, high positive pressure and % FiO2 and aggressive endotracheal suction. After several hours, secretions reduced spontaneously and the patient made an uneventful recovery.

Abstract
Platelet components became routinely available to many institutions in the late 1960s and since then utilization has steadily increased. Platelets are produced by three principal methods and their manufacturing process is regulated by multiple agencies. As the field of platelet transfusion has evolved, a broad array of strategies to improve platelet safety has developed. This review will explore the evolution of modern platelet component therapy, highlight the various risks associated with platelet transfusion and describe risk reduction strategies that have been implemented to improve platelet transfusion safety. In closing, the reader will be briefly introduced to select investigational platelet and platelet-mimetic products that have the potential to enhance platelet transfusion safety in the near future.

Abstract
The earliest definition of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) included all patients who developed acute respiratory distress, moderate to severe hypoxemia, rapid onset of pulmonary edema, mild to moderate hypotension, and fever within 6 hours of receiving a plasma containing blood transfusion. The definition excluded patients if they had underlying cardiac or respiratory disease. The mechanism is not known exactly but it causes morbidity and mortality. Incidence of TRALI changes between 0.08% and 15% of patients receiving a blood transfusion. A 78 year old female patient with history of myelodysplastic syndrome, coronary artey disease and hypertansion, was admitted to the hospital because of dyspnea after the blood transfusion. She was managed as TRALI after diagnostic workup and transported to the intensive care unit. In the following days her clinical status changed dramatically with complete recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leukoreduction of labile blood components dramatically decreases the frequency of minor, intermediate, and severe adverse events (AEs), referred to as acute transfusion reactions (ATRs), especially after transfusion of platelet components (PCs). The pathophysiology of AEs may result from accumulation of soluble, secreted, platelet (PLT) factors with proinflammatory functions stored in PCs. Thus, several cosynergizing factors associated with PLT accumulation in PCs may contribute to clinically reported ATRs with inflammatory symptoms. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We screened for 65 PLT-associated secretory products in PCs that caused ATRs and identified PLT molecules associated with ATRs and inflammation. A functional in vitro study using PC supernatants assayed on reporting immune cells was performed to indicate relevance. RESULTS Among 10,600 apheresis PCs, 30 caused inflammatory ATRs and contained significantly elevated levels of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), interleukin (IL)-27, and soluble OX40 ligand (sOX40L). Normal PLTs secreted IL-27 and sOX40L at bioactive concentrations upon thrombin stimulation and were up regulated in association with ATRs, similar to sCD40L. Other secreted products were identified but not investigated further as their positivity was not consistent. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the putative participation of PLT-derived sOX40L, IL-27, and sCD40L, which accumulate in PC supernatants, with inflammatory-type ATRs. Further studies are required to determine the clinical significance of these findings to forecast preventive measures whenever possible.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will analyze the risk factors of acute lung injury (ALI) in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Evidence for the occurrence of lung injury following mechanical ventilation and one-lung ventilation (OLV) and the strategies to avoid it will also be discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Post-thoracotomy ALI has become one of the leading causes of operative death. The pathogenesis of ALI implicates a multiple-hit sequence of various triggering factors (e.g. preoperative conditions, surgery-induced inflammation, ventilator-induced injury, fluid overload, and transfusion). Conventional ventilation during OLV is performed with high tidal volumes equal to those being used in two-lung ventilation, high FiO(2), and without positive end-expiratory pressure. This practice was originally recommended to improve oxygenation and decrease shunt fraction during OLV. However, a number of recent studies using experimental models or human patients have shown low tidal volumes to be associated with a decrease in inflammatory mediators and a reduction in pulmonary postoperative complications. However, the application of such protective strategies could be harmful if not still properly used. SUMMARY The goal of ventilation is to minimize lung trauma by avoiding overdistension and repetitive alveolar collapse, while providing adequate oxygenation. Protective ventilation is not simply synonymous of low tidal volume ventilation, but it also involves positive end-expiratory pressure, lower FiO(2), recruitment maneuvers, and lower ventilatory pressures.
