Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive transfusion (MT) is required to resuscitate traumatically injured patients with complex derangements. Scoring systems for MT typically require laboratory values and radiological imaging that may delay the prediction of MT. STUDY DESIGN The Trauma ALgorithm Examining the Risk of massive Transfusion (Trauma ALERT) study was an observational cohort study. Prehospital and admission ALERT scores were constructed with logistic regression of prehospital and admission vitals, and FAST examination results. Internal validation was performed with bootstrap analysis and cross-validation. RESULTS The development cohort included 2,592 patients. Seven variables were included in the prehospital ALERT score: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), SpO2, motor Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, and penetrating mechanism. Eight variables from 2,307 patients were included in the admission ALERT score: admission SBP, HR, RR, GCS score, temperature, FAST examination result, and prehospital SBP and DBP.The area under the receiving operator characteristic curve for the prehospital and admission models were 0.754 (95% bootstrapped CI 0.735-0.794, P < 0.001) and 0.905 (95% bootstrapped CI 0.867-0.923, P < 0.001), respectively. The prehospital ALERT score had equivalent diagnostic accuracy to the ABC score (P = 0.97), and the admission ALERT score outperformed both the ABC and the prehospital ALERT scores (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The prehospital and admission ALERT scores can accurately predict massive transfusion in trauma patients without the use of time-consuming laboratory studies, although prospective studies need to be performed to validate these findings. Early identification of patients who will require MT may allow for timely mobilization of scarce resources and could benefit patients by making blood products available for treating hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Abdominal vascular trauma accounts for a small percentage of military and a moderate percentage of civilian trauma, affecting all age ranges and impacting young adult men most frequently. Penetrating causes are more frequent than blunt in adults, while blunt mechanisms are more common among pediatric populations. High rates of associated injuries, bleeding, and hemorrhagic shock ensure that, despite advances in both diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, immediate open surgical repair remains the mainstay of treatment for traumatic abdominal vascular injuries. Because of their devastating nature, abdominal vascular injuries remain a significant source of morbidity and mortality among trauma patients. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma in conjunction with the World Society of Emergency Surgery seek to summarize the literature to date and provide guidelines on the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of abdominal vascular injuries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Review study, level IV.

[PMID: 32966635 DOI: 10.1111/vox.13005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been renewed interest in whole blood (WB) transfusion, particularly in damage control resuscitation, in part due to the ability to provide the adequate ratio of blood components in a single transfusion. However, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that WB units maintain their haemostatic function during storage, which could compromise their quality and efficacy if transfused. Here, we evaluate the in vitro haemostatic function of stored WB units over a 28-day refrigeration period. METHODS Standard WB units were collected from healthy volunteers and stored at 4°C for 28 days. Samples were collected from each unit on several days throughout the storage period and tested for complete blood count (CBC), WB aggregation, clot kinetics as measured by thromboelastography (TEG), closure time and plasma-free haemoglobin. RESULTS Throughout the storage period, there were gradual, significant decreases in platelet count and function, including WB aggregation in response to collagen (P < 0·05) and closure time with epinephrine (P < 0·0005). Plasma-free haemoglobin increased substantially (by 163%) throughout the storage period. However, TEG results remained relatively stable for 3 weeks, indicating possible preservation of haemostatic function during that time. CONCLUSION This study shows that clot kinetics (as measured by TEG) in WB units stored at 4°C are preserved for up to 21 days. However, high levels of free haemoglobin raise concern for the potential risks of transfusing stored WB. Clinical studies are required to evaluate optimal storage times and outcomes of patients resuscitated with WB as compared to blood components.

The effect of massive transfusion protocol implementation on the survival of trauma patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2020; 18:434-445. [PMID: 32955420 DOI: 10.2450/2020.0065-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive transfusion protocol (MTP) has been widely adopted for the care of bleeding trauma patients but its actual effectiveness is unclear. An earlier meta-analysis on the implementation of MTP for injured patients from 1990 to 2013 reported that only 2 out of 8 studies showed statistical improvement in survival. This study aimed to conduct an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of implementing an MTP on the mortality of trauma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google scholar databases were systematically searched for relevant studies published from 1st January 2008 to 30th September 2019 using a combination of keywords and additional manual searching of reference lists. Inclusion criteria were: original study in English, study population including trauma patients, and comparison of mortality outcomes before and after institutional implementation of an MTP. Primary outcomes were 24-hour, 30-day, and overall mortality. RESULTS Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria, analysing outcomes from 3,201 trauma patients. There was a wide range of outcomes, patient populations, and process indicators utilised by the different authors. MTP significantly reduced the overall mortality for trauma patients (OR 0.71 [0.56-0.90]). No significant reduction was seen in either the 24-hour mortality (OR 0.81 [0.57-1.14]) or the 30-day mortality (OR 0.73 [0.46-1.16]). However, when mortality timing was unspecified, mortality was statistically reduced (OR 0.69 [0.55-0.86]). DISCUSSION The present study found a significant reduction in mortality following MTP implementation and thus it should be recommended to all institutions managing acutely injured patients. To better identify which elements of an MTP contribute to this effect, we encourage the use of standard nomenclature, indicators, protocols and patient populations in all future MTP studies.

Abstract
Background Severe traumatic injury continues to present challenges to healthcare systems around the world, and post-traumatic bleeding remains a leading cause of potentially preventable death among injured patients. Now in its fifth edition, this document aims to provide guidance on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following traumatic injury and encourages adaptation of the guiding principles described here to individual institutional circumstances and resources. Methods The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was founded in 2004, and the current author group included representatives of six relevant European professional societies. The group applied a structured, evidence-based consensus approach to address scientific queries that served as the basis for each recommendation and supporting rationale. Expert opinion and current clinical practice were also considered, particularly in areas in which randomised clinical trials have not or cannot be performed. Existing recommendations were re-examined and revised based on scientific evidence that has emerged since the previous edition and observed shifts in clinical practice. New recommendations were formulated to reflect current clinical concerns and areas in which new research data have been generated. Results Advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of post-traumatic coagulopathy have supported improved management strategies, including evidence that early, individualised goal-directed treatment improves the outcome of severely injured patients. The overall organisation of the current guideline has been designed to reflect the clinical decision-making process along the patient pathway in an approximate temporal sequence. Recommendations are grouped behind the rationale for key decision points, which are patient- or problem-oriented rather than related to specific treatment modalities. While these recommendations provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of major bleeding and coagulopathy, emerging evidence supports the author group’s belief that the greatest outcome improvement can be achieved through education and the establishment of and adherence to local clinical management algorithms. Conclusions A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidance are key to improving patient outcomes. If incorporated into local practice, these clinical practice guidelines have the potential to ensure a uniform standard of care across Europe and beyond and better outcomes for the severely bleeding trauma patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Early treatment goals in the bleeding trauma patient have changed based on recent research findings. Trauma patients requiring a massive transfusion protocol have shown a decreased mortality based on a more aggressive and balanced approach to blood product resuscitation. This chapter will review the recent advances in managing the bleeding trauma patient. RECENT FINDINGS Recent data have suggested a combined approach of early ratio-based blood product use, bedside viscoelastic hemostatic assays, hemostatic resuscitation, and finally goal-directed therapy to complete resuscitation. SUMMARY There is now evidence to support the early use of a 1 : 1 : 1 blood product transfusion protocol to restore lost circulating volume, improve oxygen carrying capacity, replace diluted platelets, and replenish clotting factors in massively bleeding trauma patients. Further study is needed to determine whether prehospital initiation of blood products and pharmacological adjuncts will improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this short study is to review recently published data bearing on how to resuscitate massive uncontrolled hemorrhage. RECENT FINDINGS New data inform our understanding of the mechanisms of the acute coagulopathy of trauma, the median time to death of trauma patients with uncontrolled hemorrhage, the effects of blood product composition on the coagulation capacity of infused resuscitation mixtures, the outcomes of patients resuscitated according to common massive transfusion protocols in clinical situations associated with massive hemorrhage, and who might benefit from balanced, blood-product-based resuscitation. Importantly, the trial methods, blood bank methods, and primary outcomes of the Pragmatic Randomized Optimal Plasma and Platelet Ratios (PROPPR) trial were recently published. Resuscitation with a 1 : 1 : 1 ratio of units of plasma and platelets to red blood cells was well tolerated and reduced hemorrhagic mortality during resuscitation in the PROPPR trial. SUMMARY The bulk of currently available data support the use of a 1 : 1 : 1 ratio for the resuscitation of patients with severe injury, shock, and uncontrolled hemorrhage. The application of this formulaic approach to massive blood product-based resuscitation in other clinical situations is less well supported in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe trauma continues to represent a global public health issue and mortality and morbidity in trauma patients remains substantial. A number of initiatives have aimed to provide guidance on the management of trauma patients. This document focuses on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following trauma and encourages adaptation of the guiding principles to each local situation and implementation within each institution. METHODS The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was founded in 2004 and included representatives of six relevant European professional societies. The group used a structured, evidence-based consensus approach to address scientific queries that served as the basis for each recommendation and supporting rationale. Expert opinion and current clinical practice were also considered, particularly in areas in which randomised clinical trials have not or cannot be performed. Existing recommendations were reconsidered and revised based on new scientific evidence and observed shifts in clinical practice; new recommendations were formulated to reflect current clinical concerns and areas in which new research data have been generated. This guideline represents the fourth edition of a document first published in 2007 and updated in 2010 and 2013. RESULTS The guideline now recommends that patients be transferred directly to an appropriate trauma treatment centre and encourages use of a restricted volume replacement strategy during initial resuscitation. Best-practice use of blood products during further resuscitation continues to evolve and should be guided by a goal-directed strategy. The identification and management of patients pre-treated with anticoagulant agents continues to pose a real challenge, despite accumulating experience and awareness. The present guideline should be viewed as an educational aid to improve and standardise the care of the bleeding trauma patients across Europe and beyond. This document may also serve as a basis for local implementation. Furthermore, local quality and safety management systems need to be established to specifically assess key measures of bleeding control and outcome. CONCLUSIONS A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidance are key to improving patient outcomes. The implementation of locally adapted treatment algorithms should strive to achieve measureable improvements in patient outcome.
