NON-CARDIOGENIC PULMONARY OEDEMA AFTER TRANSFUSION WITH GRANULOCYTE ANTIBODY CONTAINING BLOOD: TREATMENT WITH EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION

A 45-yr-old man developed severe non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema after a blood transfusion reaction which was resistant to standard therapy. We describe its successful treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
