As any procedure in medicine, the transfusion of blood prod­ucts to the patient involves benets and risks. The benets of increased oxygen carrying capacity with the ability to deliver oxygen to the tissue are clear in the setting of severe hemor­rhage. The risks are not as clear. While patients are mainly concerned with infectious risks, there are other risks that must be considered by the provider.
Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an acute lung injury that occurs within 6hours of blood transfusion; the entity was rst described in 1951 [1]. The actual syn­drome and its link to the administration of blood products did not occur until 1983. In a case series of 3130 consecutive blood transfusions, ve patients developed respiratory dis­tress in close association to the transfusion [2]. The lung injury was linked to the transfusion with term TRALI being used. TRALI occurs in both women and men and occurs in patients of any age, except neonates. The reason for the con­cern with TRALI is the signicant morbidity and mortality. Survival from TRALI is estimated at 50%. All plasma-con­taining blood and blood components have been implicated in the development of TRALI. A common theme to the cases of TRALI is the receipt of blood products 6 hours prior to the development of pulmonary symptoms. Other symptoms that also may occur include fever and hypotension.
A consensus panel was convened in 2004 to establish the criteria for the diagnosis of TRALI [3]. TRALI was dened as a new acute lung injury that occurred during or within 6 hours of a completed transfusion that was not related to another cause for the lung injury. While the diagnosis requires the administration of the blood products within 6

hours, the overwhelming majority of patients will have the onset of symptoms within 1–2hours following the transfu­sion. The diagnosis was to be based upon clinical symptoms combined with a radiographic diagnosis. The diagnostic cri­teria for TRALI are outlined in Table12.1. The chest x-ray should show bilateral inltrates that may be patchy or diffuse suggestive of alveolar or interstitial disease [4].
Possible TRALI is a diagnosis used when it is difcult to determine whether the actual etiology of the lung injury is TRALI or another cause of the acute lung injury [5]. Sometimes it is difcult to determine whether the lung injury is from the blood transfusion. In patients meeting the diagno­sis of TRALI but with another reason to explain the acute lung injury, the alternative diagnosis of “possible TRALI” is used. Possible TRALI refers to transfusion-related lung injury in a patient with a preexisting lung injury prior to the transfusion. This term is not universally accepted, with many feeling that possible TRALI is simply ARDS or TRALI type II (TRALI in a patient with risk factor for ARDS) [6].
Postmortem tissue examination of patients with TRALI demonstrates pulmonary edema, diffuse alveolar damage, and granulocytes in the alveoli. The pulmonary vasculature contains neutrophil aggregates when examined postmortem. The major nding in patients with TRALI is increased pul­monary microvascular permeability with protein in the uid. Patients with TRALI have chest x-rays that demonstrate bilateral inltrates that suggest cardiac failure with no evi­dence for cardiac causes of the ndings.
The pathogenesis is poorly understood. The most com­mon theory for TRALI is the two hit model in the transfused donor [1]. In this theory, a patient who had an increase in

neutrophil responsiveness receives a stimulus from the trans­fusion itself. The possible risk factors (Table12.2) that may cause the rst hit include chronic alcohol abuse, sepsis, mechanical ventilation, shock, surgery, smoking, inamma­tion, and uid overload. The inammatory proteins that are elevated in patients with TRALI include interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 as well as protein C-reactive protein. The second hit comes from the antibodies in the transfused blood products. In the two-hit model, a certain threshold from the initial insult must be present in a patient who receives a suf­cient amount of volume and titer of antibody. If the amount of antibody is insufcient to initiate antibody-antigen activa­tion, TRALI will not occur. In the critically ill patient, the neutrophils are primed and ready to be activated from the antibodies in the transfused blood, which leads to pulmonary edema.
Approximately 80% of cases of TRALI are due to the presence of donor antibodies such as antihuman leukocyte or antihuman neutrophil antibodies. The implicated antibodies include cognate anti-HLA-Class II and anti-human neutro­phil antigen (HNA)-positive antibodies. Antibodies are the second hit for TRALI.Antibodies to leukocyte antigen Class I or II or neutrophil antigen can be detected in the transfused blood of patients who develop TRALI. These antibodies in the donor product activate neutrophils in the recipient lung causing pulmonary damage and capillary leak. Donors have developed these antibodies when the immune system comes into contact with foreign HNA or HLA during pregnancy, transfusion, or transplantation [7].
The remaining 20% of cases of TRALI are related to bio­lipids of the blood products or components from aging blood. These microparticles occur in blood products and activate inammatory mediators resulting in plasma leak within the lung. The microparticles may be generated from any cell, including platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. The exact mechanism for TRALI from this etiology is poorly understood [7].
Given the role of human leukocyte antigen antibodies in the development of TRALI, blood banks have moved toward the use of male-predominant plasma. Multiparous women have a high exposure to fetal HLA antigens and other granulocyte- borne antigens from the fetus. This knowledge has led to the practice of eliminating donor plasma from multiparous women or the screening of female donors for
HLA antibodies. This practice was instituted in 2004. Prior to this change, the estimated incidence of TRALI was 1in 5000 blood and blood components, 1 in 2000 plasma­containing components, 1 in 7900 units of fresh frozen plasma, and 1in 432units of whole blood-derived platelets [8]. Since the introduction of male-predominant plasma, the incidence of TRALI has decreased. The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston evaluated the incidence of TRALI as this center uses plasma in the setting of trauma, and the use is early and aggressive [9]. Over a 10-year period, a total of 714,757units of blood products were transfused with seven cases of TRALI, giving an incidence of 1 in 102,000. As compared to the screening and discarding of blood based on the presence of antibodies, another approach is the use of pooled solvent-detergent-treated plasma instead of fresh frozen plasma. This treatment with solvent and detergent was done to inactivate lipid-enveloped viruses. This approach has been shown to be effective in eliminating the antibodies [10].
No specic treatment exists for TRALI. The provision of increased concentrations of oxygen is required in all, and mechanical ventilation is required in most [7]. Given the lung injury component of TRALI, it is recommended that lung protective strategies be used for ventilation. Also, these patients should not be treated with diuretics as uid overload is not the precipitating factor. TRALI may be differentiated from transfusion-associated circulatory overload by obtain­ing a B-type natriuretic peptide level, which is elevated in overload. Other factors that differentiate TRALI from trans­fusion-associated circulatory overload include the elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and the positive response to diuretics in overload. Given the two-hit theory, managing the patient’s underlying risk factors as well as decreasing transfusion would decrease the incidence of TRALI.
Transfusion-Associated Circulatory Overload
Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) is the most common type of transfusion-related pulmonary com­plication with an estimated incidence estimate of 1–8% (although some estimating it to be as high as 11%) [11]. TACO was rst observed in the 1930s, but became recog­nized as a distinct clinical entity in the 1990s [12]. The inci­dence of TACO varies by study, with data from passive surveillance showing a very low incidence while studies with active surveillance reporting a higher incidence. This point highlights the general consensus that TACO is vastly under­reported and lacks a clear, established dening set of criteria, as evidenced by the variation in the reported incidence among studies with active surveillance. Data from the Serious Hazards of Transfusion UK reporting system suggest

that the understanding of TACO has improved as reports of TACO increased each year between 2007 and 2013 [13]. TACO was more likely to occur with the transfusion of packed red blood cells (1/8000), as compared to plasma (1/15,000) or platelets (1/48,000) [14]. Various other studies have supported this relationship between volume transfused and TACO although the impact of the rate of transfusion on the incidence remains unknown.
TACO is dened as acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with volume overload occurring within 6hours of receiving a blood transfusion [15]. This temporal relation­ship between transfusion of blood products and pulmonary edema is a key feature of TACO (as well as TRALI) distin­guishing it from other forms of pulmonary edema. The pul­monary edema caused by TACO is thought to be due to increased hydrostatic pressure (i.e., cardiogenic pulmonary edema) as opposed to capillary leak (i.e., noncardiogenic pulmonary edema), the latter being associated with transfu­sion-related acute lung injury [16]. Although there is no con­sensus on standardized criteria for TACO, the Centers for Disease Control’s Hemovigilance Module Surveillance Protocol proposed possible criteria for recognizing and diag­nosing TACO (Table12.3) [17]. The CDC criteria state that a patient must have 3 or more of the following ndings within 6hours of cessation of transfusion:
• Acute respiratory distress
• Elevated brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)
• Elevated CVP
• Evidence of left heart failure
• Evidence of positive uid balance
• Radiographic evidence of pulmonary edema

1.5 times pretransfusion value. Normal BNP level most transfusion is not consistent with TACO diagnosis
Since TACO is a form of cardiogenic pulmonary edema related to the transfusion of blood products, understanding the pathophysiology of pulmonary edema will aide in the management of TACO. In the normal lung, uid that is l­tered out of circulation into the alveolar interstitial space does not enter the alveoli due to tight junctions that prevent passage; this uid is removed via the lymphatics. The hydro­static force for uid ltration between the capillaries and alveoli microcirculation is roughly equal, with the osmotic pressure of the capillaries tipping the balance slightly in favor of capillary circulation [14]. In TACO, the hydrostatic pressure increases due to the rapid increase in circulatory volume resulting in an imbalance. There is an increase in uid ltration (edema into the interstitial space), and the tight junctions of the epithelium are overcome allowing pro­tein poor uid to enter the alveolar space thus causing pul­monary edema.
There are multiple risk factors for TACO, with age, car­diovascular dysfunction, and renal disease being the major risk factors. Although TACO can occur at any age, advanced
age appears to be the greatest risk with most studies report­ing the highest incidence in patients aged greater than 70years. Patients with cardiovascular dysfunction also have a higher incidence of TACO. In particular, patients with CHF (especially NYHA Class 4), atrial brillation, a history of coronary artery disease, use of diuretics (and lack of use when there is evidence of TACO), and amiodarone all have a higher risk of developing TACO [16]. Chronic renal failure has also been shown to be a risk factor. Other risk factors include positive uid status (uids other than blood products can contribute to TACO), number of units transfused, type of product transfused (likely related to volume), rate of transfu­sion, preexisting pulmonary disease, female sex (although the evidence is not conclusive), patients of small stature, shock, anemia, and hospitalized patients (especially OR and ICU) [12, 14, 15]. Many of the risk factors lend credence to the hypothesis that TACO occurs when the body’s ability to manage intravascular volume status is overwhelmed, espe­cially when intravascular volume is increased by a large

amount or at higher infusion rates. For example, the inci­dence of TACO correlates with the number of units of blood products transfused, and there is evidence that higher rates of infusion lead to higher incidence of TACO [12, 18].
Respiratory distress/worsening pulmonary status within 6hours of receiving a blood transfusion is the principle man­ifestation of TACO. A patient’s respirations, oxygen satura­tion, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, and uid balance should all be monitored closely during transfusion. Increasing oxygen requirement and decreasing oxygen satu­ration on pulse oximetry should warrant further investigation including a chest x-ray and physical exam. Consideration should be given to close monitoring for 24hours after trans­fusion as multiple studies show clear evidence that active surveillance yields higher rates of recognition of TACO. Supplemental oxygen which is common in the OR and ICU can mask evidence for worsening pulmonary status, espe­cially if the patient is intubated. Arterial blood gas monitor­ing measures the ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) which is used in ARDS and TRAILI and could prove useful in TACO. [14] Potential respiratory manifestations include the following:
• Dyspnea
• Tachypnea
• Hypoxia
• Pulmonary edema– CXR (possible enlarged cardiac sil-
houette, pleural effusions, enlarged vascular pedicle, dis-
tribution of edema is even/central
• Orthopnea
• Crackles
In addition to respiratory status, patients should be moni­tored for cardiac dysfunction before, during, and after trans­fusion. Hypertension is sometimes, though not always, a distinguishing feature from the noncardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with TRALI.Physical examination of the patient may reveal jugular venous distention and peripheral edema. A patient’s uid balance should be determined before a transfusion is started as studies demonstrating overall posi­tive volume status contribute to the development of TACO. Chart review, urine output, patient’s weight, response to diuretics, and volume removed through dialysis can all be used to determine uid balance. Bedside echocardiography may be utilized to determine cardiac function as well as vol­ume status.
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-pro-BNP have been studied as a way to diagnose TACO and differentiate it from TRALI to aide in clinical decision making. Unfortunately, the evidence is mixed as to whether or not BNP is an effective biomarker for distinguishing TACO from TRALI. The evidence is weaker for differentiating TACO from other forms of pulmonary edema [19]. The most sig­nicant problem with these biomarkers is the vast differen-
tial and large number of factors that can explain elevations. Heart failure, renal dysfunction, age, gender, sepsis, and ACE inhibitors affect BNP and NT-pro-BNP levels.
Management of TACO is essentially the same as manag­ing patients with other causes of cardiogenic pulmonary edema. If TACO is suspected, the initial step in treatment is to stop the transfusion. Treatment should begin with supple­mental oxygen and elevating the head of the bed to 30 degrees. Supplemental oxygen may be delivered via nasal canula; however, positive pressure may be required if the pulmonary edema is severe; BiPap or high ow nasal canula can be useful. Diuretic use has shown a signicant decrease in not only the incidence of TACO but also the mortality when it occurs. In cases of severe renal failure, CRRT or hemodialysis is used to reduce volume overload. Reduction of afterload as tolerated by the patient may also prove useful in decreasing workload and increasing cardiac output. In the most severe cases, intubation, vasopressors, and inotropes are necessary.
Transfusion Reactions
The understanding of the antigen/antibody cause for the blood group system was developed by Dr. Karl Landsteiner when he noted that mixing red blood cells with different plasma and different patterns of agglutination was obtained [20]. He termed the rst pattern A and the second pattern B.There were other individuals who did not achieve any pat­tern of agglutination, which was termed C.The rst two pat­terns led to the nomenclature of Type A and Type B; it was the lack of a pattern of agglutination that led to Type O. Furthermore, it was these observations that led Dr. Landsteiner to postulate that whichever ABO antigens are lacking on a red blood cell will result in the corresponding antibody. This theory has been termed Landsteiner’s Law. The antigens for the ABO system are produced by various enzymes that add sugars to the oligosaccharide chain. The source of the antibodies is less clear; it may due to inherited antibodies or due to classical immune-mediated reactions. When ABO incompatible blood is administered, hemolysis may occur.
For the transfusion of red blood cells, patients may receive group O red blood cells as these cells lack A and B antigens and are compatible with plasma. For plasma, all patients may receive AB plasma as these lack anti-A and anti-B antibod­ies. Of note, while ABO compatibility is vital for red blood cells to prevent a fatal acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, it is not vital and frequently not followed for plasma and platelets. Although plasma may contain anti-A or anti-B antibodies, the presence of A and B antigens on endothelial cells, dilution in the patient blood volume, and the presence of soluble A and B antigen in the plasma of secretors provide protection [21].

The presence of D antigen on the donor and recipient also must be considered. Antibody to the D antigen is not natu­rally occurring, requiring exposure to develop the antibody. Exposure to D+ red blood cells in a D- patient will result in the development of antibodies in 1 out of every 5 exposures. The formation of D antibodies is most important in women of childbearing age where the antibody may complicate the pregnancy. As such, men and women who are beyond child­bearing typically receive D+ packed red blood cells, due to the shortage of D- blood. In fact, D- blood has become so low that many transfusion services provide D+ blood, even for women of childbearing age [21].
A febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction is dened as an increase in temperature of 1 degree Celsius above 37 degrees that occurs during or after the transfusion of blood products. This reaction is the most common during transfu­sion. The reaction may occur without the symptoms of chills, rigors, and rash or may occur with it. The most com­mon blood product to produce a non-hemolytic transfusion reaction is platelets. Initially, it was felt that the reaction was due to the presence of white blood cells in the patient’s plasma that reacted with the white cells in the blood prod­uct. This explanation mainly applies to red blood cells; platelets have a different explanation. The reaction is more likely to occur the older the platelets are. Within the stored platelets, there is the generation of cytokines during stor­age. These cytokines are responsible for the reaction [22]. The most important point when a patient develops a febrile response to a transfusion is to insure that it is not due to an acute hemolytic reaction or transfusion of a contaminated product.
There is always the risk of administering the wrong blood product to the patient. While infectious disease transmission has decreased, mistransfusion remains a constant risk to the patient [23]. In an effort to prevent this error of incompati­ble blood products, an institution conducted a quality improvement project with the introduction of a cognitive aid. This cognitive aid was a simple card that was worn with the participants’ badge, as demonstrated in Table 12.4. Based upon a quiz, there was a marked improvement in ABO compatibility.

Hemolytic transfusion reactions occur when the anti­bodies within the recipient react to the antigens on the red blood cell surface. These reacts are classied as acute or delayed. An acute reaction occurs during the transfusion, while a delayed reaction occurs within days or weeks of transfusion. The most common reason for a hemolytic transfusion reaction is misidentication of the patient or mislabeling the blood sample. When the IgM antibody binds to the antigen, the red cell membrane is destroyed resulting in the release of contents within the red blood cell into the circulation. The free hemoglobin damages the kid­ney, while the complement activation leads to disseminated intravascular coagulation [24]. Management includes stop­ping the transfusion and administering uids, vasopressors, and blood products for the coagulopathy. A delayed reac­tion occurs from antibodies developed from a previous transfusion. These antibodies are not present in a detectable level at the time of the testing and appear days after the transfusion. Typical manifestations of a delayed reaction include anemia and jaundice.
Infectious Complications
Transfusion-transmitted infection due to viral and bacterial contamination decreased dramatically with the transition to closed, sterile systems for collection and storage. John Elliott developed the rst vacuum bottle for blood collection in 1940 [25, 26]. In addition, the testing of blood donations has fur­ther contributed to a dramatic reduction in transfusion­transmitted infections. By 1947, every unit of blood collected was tested for syphilis followed by hepatitis B in 1971, hepa­titis C in 1990, and HIV-1 and 2 by 1992 [26]. Over time viral infections related to transfusion have seen a signicant drop; transfusion-transmitted bacterial infection has not seen the same reduction over the last 30years. According to studies from the US FDA, French Hemovigilance study, and the British SHOT study, the incidence for bacterial contamina­tion/sepsis has not decreased (in fact, has not changed) to the same degree as viral infection [25].
Bacterial contamination is the most common cause of transfusion-transmitted infection, with an estimated overall prevalence of 0.2% [27, 28]. Bacterial infection is more common than viral or fungal infection. It is estimated that bacterial contamination is approximately 1 in 3000 units [29]. Transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections accounted for the most reports transfusion-related fatality, accounting for 20% of fatalities (second to ABO errors) [25, 30]. The actual incidence of transfusion-transmitted bacterial infec­tion varies based on the study (Table12.5). This variation is likely due to differences in the processing and storage of blood products [30]. The FDA reports mortality from transfusion-related infections to range from 1in 6,000,000 to

Though the incidence of bacterial contamination and transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections varies, the high­est risk of contamination and infection occurs with platelets. This incidence is due to storage as platelets are stored at room temperature, allowing bacteria to grow that would oth­erwise remain dormant at lower levels with refrigeration. In countries where platelets are screened using BacT/ALERT culture system, the incidence of transfusion-transmitted bac­terial infections is lower [31]. The detection of bacterial con­tamination in platelet samples is largely dependent on bacterial concentration as tests where resampling of a previ­ously positive BacT/ALERT screenings has yielded negative results [32]. Unlike viruses, bacteria have the ability to mul­tiply during storage making the duration of their storage another factor in the incidence of transfusion-related bacte­rial infection. One study found that the incidence of contami­nation and the bacterial levels measured were both signicantly less for units transfused in under 4days com­pared with units that were 5days and older [33].
The infectious concern with the transfusion of red blood cells is primarily viral. The risk depends upon which testing is performed. Current testing of red blood cells includes Hepatitis B (antibody in 1987; nucleic acid in 2009), Hepatitis C (antibody in 1990; nucleic acid in 1999), Human Immunodeciency Virus (antibody in 1985; nucleic acid in
2000), West Nile Virus, and Zika Virus [34]. The risk of viral infection occurs when a virus emerges in which testing does not occur, as happened with Zika Virus, which was added in 2016 [35]. Currently, blood is not tested for Hepatitis A, malaria, or new variants of Creutzfeld-Jacob disease prions.
Conclusion
The transfusion of blood products has risk to the patient. There is always the risk of misidentication resulting in the adminis­tration of the wrong blood product. Even when the patient is properly cross-matched, there are infectious risks from both known and unknown agents. There is also the risk of transfu­sion-related acute lung injury and transfusion- associated cir­culatory overload. While the risks may be mitigated, they cannot be removed completely. These concerns help one understand the continually evolving transfusion thresholds and administer products only when truly indicated.

Hemophilia A
There are three major types of hemophilias, A, B, and C. They are classied based on their decient coagulation factor. Hemophilias A and B are X-linked recessive disorders caused by a mutation in the long arm of chromosome X at the F8 and F9 genes. Males are affected, and females are car­riers [1]. Hemophilia A is the most common X-linked genetic disease and the second most common factor deciency after von Willebrand disease (vWD). The worldwide incidence of hemophilia A is approximately 1 out of 5000 males [2]. The exact number of people living with hemophilia A is not known [3]. The prevalence of hemophilia A varies by coun­try and ranges 5.4–14.5 cases per 100,000 males. In the United States, the prevalence of hemophilia A is 20.6 cases per 100,000 males, and the number of people in the United States with hemophilia was estimated to be about 20,000in 2016 [4].
Etiology ofHemophilia A
Hemophilia A can be caused by a factor VIII deciency, dys­functional factor VIII, or even factor VIII inhibitors leading to the disruption of the normal intrinsic coagulation cascade. Any defect or absence in factor VIII will cause a decrease in thrombin production by FIXa and FVIIIa in the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. The factor VIII gene is large and comprises 0.1% of the DNA in the X chromosome. A defect in the normal factor VIII coding sequence caused by a mutation can result in an inability to properly transcribe

the complete, normal factor VIII protein, resulting in the loss of its normal function [4].
Signs andSymptoms
Bleeding is the number one sign of hemophilia A.The sever­ity of symptoms depends on the amount of factor VIII in the plasma. Normal plasma levels of factor VIII range from 50% to 150% (0.5–1.5IU/ml). Levels below 50%, or half of what is needed to form a clot, determine a person’s symptoms. Those with mild hemophilia have 6–49% of factor VIII.These account for 25% of all cases. They generally experience bleeding only after serious injury, trauma, or surgery. In many cases, mild hemophilia is not diagnosed until after an injury has occurred and results in prolonged bleeding. Women with mild hemophilia often experience heavy men­strual periods and are at risk for hemorrhage during child­birth [5].
Patients with moderate hemophilia A have 1–5% of factor VIII in the blood. This accounts for 15% of all cases. They may have bleeding episodes after injuries, but rarely bleed spontaneously.
Severe hemophilia A occurs in patients with less than 1% of factor VIII and accounts for 60% of cases. In addition to bleeding following an injury, they may experience frequent spontaneous bleeding into their joints (hemarthrosis) and muscles [5]. Chronic bleeding into the joints, particularly the knees, elbows, and ankles, can lead to decreased range of motion, contractures, and muscle hypertrophy. Over time, degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, and osteophyte for­mation can occur, necessitating surgery [6].
In addition to bleeding into the joint space, bleeding can also occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Infections such as Helicobacter pylori can increase the frequency of GIB in patients with hemophilia [7]. Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare occurrence, but a serious cause of morbidity and mortal­ity in patients with hemophilia, thirty percent, result in death.
