Abstract Background: Trauma has become the second leading cause of death worldwide, despite advances in modern trauma resuscitation practices. Appropriate and timely blood component therapy in the severely injured trauma patient could prevent adverse outcome due to coagulopathy. Recombinant FVIIa has been used to achieve adequate hemostasis in trauma patients in the field. Materials and Methods: In June 2004, a massive transfusion protocol (MTP) was established in Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, TX for patients presenting with trauma. Major goals of the MTP were 1) to achieve faster turn around times for these products, 2) to provide an appropriate ratio of blood components in order to prevent coagulopathy of massive transfusion and use of rFVIIa to achieve better hemostasis, and 3) to reduce wastage of blood products. At all times, the Blood Bank keeps ready for emergency release 4 units each of type A and O thawed plasma (TP) and 2 units of AB TP (5 days expiration). The MTP consists of three shipments that may be repeated, if necessary. Each shipment consists of 5 packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and 2 TP. One dose of platelets is added to the second shipment, and one dose of cryoprecipitate (10 units) and rFVIIa (4.8 mg) is added to the third shipment. If the MTP goes to the 6th shipment, 2.4 mg rFVIIa is given. Once initiated, the first MTP shipment is ready for pick up in 15 minutes. If blood type can not be determined, type O RBCs with type AB TP are sent in the first shipment (Rh matching depends upon inventory and the patient’s gender). We compared MTP blood component usage in 173 trauma patients during a 24-months period with pre-MTP historical data in 67 trauma patients from the previous 12 months. Results: The average TAT of the first shipment in MTP was 9 ± 0.4 minutes. No TAT assessments of the first shipment were possible in the pre-MTP cases because there was no initiation time available. When comparing the average TATs of second and third shipments of MTP versus pre-MTP cases, however, significant reductions were achieved (18 ± 1.8 vs. 42 ± 30 and 30 ± 2.5 vs. 44 ± 31 minutes, respectively). There was a significant reduction in blood component usage with MTP as compared to pre-MTP (Table) though the mortality had not changed. The blood component wastage (especially cryoprecipitate) had decreased significantly. Conclusions: There was a significant reduction in TAT and blood products used in following establishment of MTP; this was most likely due to prevention and/or early treatment of dilutional coagulopathy and achievement of adequate hemostasis with use of rFVIIa.

Summary Trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children due to the occurrence of hemorrhagic shock. Hemorrhagic shock and its consequences, anemia and hypovolemia, decrease oxygen delivery, due to which appropriate transfusion and volume resuscitation are critical. Guidelines for massive transfusion, in the pediatric trauma, have not been defined yet. Current data indicate that early identification of coagulopathy and its treatment with RBSs, plasma and platelets in a 1:1:1 unit ratio, and limited use of crystalloids may improve survival in pediatric trauma patients.

Objective.Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is currently the only drug with prospective clinical evidence supporting its use in bleeding trauma patients. We sought to better understand the barriers preventing its use and elicit suggestions to further its use in trauma patients in the state of Maryland.Methods. This is a cross-sectional study.Results. The overall response rate was 38%. Half of all participants reported being familiar with the CRASH-2 trial and MATTERs study. Half reported being aware of TXA as part of their institution’s massive transfusion protocol. The majority of participants felt that TXA would have a significant positive impact on the survival of trauma patients. A majority also felt that the use of TXA would increase if its administration was the responsibility of both trauma surgeons and emergency physicians.Conclusion. Only half of responders reported being aware of TXA as being part of their institution’s massive transfusion protocol. Lack of awareness of the clinical data supporting its use is a major barrier. However, most trauma providers and emergency physicians do have a favorable view of TXA and support its incorporation into massive transfusion protocols. We believe that more studies of this kind on both state and national level are needed.
