Postoperative complications--massive transfusions in radical malignant gynecological surgeries.
At the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics we examined 24 women who were radically operated on and received massive transfusions during the intraoperative and postoperative period. Twelve developed massive transfusion complications such as urticaria, fever, and respiratory insufficiency known as TRALI (transfusion-related acute lung injury).
