Abstract

Introduction: acute lung damage associated with transfusion is a little frequent adverse effect to transfusion; mortality has been estimated between 1-10%. Its diagnosis is clinical and infrequently suspected about. its incidence is low even so.
Case report: but two cases presented, hospitalized in the maternal-perinatal care room, with diseases associated to pregnancy, and they were administered blood components, both five hours after the transfusion, presented a clinical syndrome with moderate hypoxemia, and needed ventilation; with this findings and the temporal relation with transfusion, we diagnosed moderate acute transfusion-associated respiratory difficulty syndrome.
Conclusions: The result was the best, with full resolution if the respiratory event. It is important to report both cases due to their onset in pregnant women, a less frequent cause informed about in the medical texts, and the importance of preserving the mother´s and the child´s health, and promote the notification of this adverse reaction to transfusion to the blood bank, in order to strengthen the hemosurveillance system.
