Are there any known ways to treat transfusion related acute lung injury?

Supportive care: The good news is that trali is treatable. Prevent more damage by reducing the tidal volume on a ventilator and gradually reduce oxygen to minimum. Reduce amount of water. Keep the lungs dry. The lungs will recover with rest. There is no specific medicines.

Time: Supportive care, avoiding further transfusions, and time are the best therapies. Steroids can be used, but the evidence for their effectiveness is lacking.
