Transfusion Protocol

Objective: To discuss about blood loss in an obstetric setting, the role of blood transfusion, and patient blood management.Methods: Literature review.Results: Severe anaemia with hemoglobin level less than 7 g/dL or late gestation (more than 34 weeks) and/ or significant symptoms of anaemia, the recommendation is giving only single unit transfusion followed by clinical reassessment for further transfusion. In postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), massive transfusion protocols are commonly used description as large volume of blood products over a brief period to a patient with uncontrolled or severe hemorrhage, transfusion more than 10 RBC units within 24 hours, transfusion more than 4 RBC units in 1 hour with anticipation of continued need for blood, replacement of more than 50% of total blood volume by blood products within 3 hours. All obstetric units have a clear-cut massive transfusion protocol for the initial management of life-threatening PPH, considering early transfusion therapy with RBCs and FFP.Conclusion: Patient blood management aims to maintain hemoglobin concentration, optimize haemostasis, and minimize blood loss in effort to improve patient outcomes. Massive transfusion protocol in management of life-threatening should depend on each obstetric unit.Keywords: blood transfusion, obstetric cases, patient blood management.   Abstrak Tujuan: Untuk mendiskusikan tentang hilang darah dalam obstetric, peran transfusi darah, dan patient blood management.Metode: Kajian pustaka.Hasil: Anemia berat dengan nilai hemoglobin kurang dari 7 g/dL atau kehamilan lanjut (lebih dari 34 minggu) dan/ atau gejala nyata anemia, rekomendasi ialah memberikan satu unit transfusi diikuti dengan penilainan klinis untuk transfusi lebih lanjut. Pada perdarahan postpartum, protokol transfusi massif umum digambarkan sebagai volume darah yang dibutuhkan jumlah banyak dalam periode singkat, transfusi lebih dari 10 sel darah merah dalam 24 jam atau lebih dari 1 jam, penggantian lebih dari 50% total volume darah dalam 3 jam. Seluruh unit obstetric memiliki protokol transfusi massif yang jelas untuk taalaksana awal perdarahan postpartum dengan mempertimbangkan transfusi awal untuk komponen sel darah merah dan FFP.Kesimpulan: Patient blood management bertujuan untuk menjaga konsentrasi hemoglobin, optimalisasi hemostasis, dan minimalisasi hilang darah untuk meningkatkan luaran pasien. Protokol transfusi masfi dalam tatalaksana yang mengancam nyawa sangat bergantung pada setiap unit obstetrik.Kata kunci: kasus obstetri, patient blood management, transfusi darah

Neonatal Dieulafoy lesion is a rare but severe condition that can be life-threatening if not intervened upon in a timely fashion. In the general population, the majority of lesions are successfully treated with endoscopic or angiographic intervention. Surgery is usually reserved for cases that fail endoscopic or angiographic intervention. We present a case of neonatal Dieulafoy lesion that occurred less than 24 h after delivery with hematemesis. The patient required large volume resuscitation and massive transfusion of blood products for acute blood loss. The lesion was successfully treated with surgical ligation after a failed attempt at endoscopic intervention.

The Impact

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A COVID–19-világjárvány betegellátásra gyakorolt hatása hazánkban is jelentős. A vérellátást nehezítette a járványügyi intézkedések következményeként a véradási események elmaradása, a csökkent véradási hajlandóság, továbbá a nehezen megítélhető vérkészítményigény . A „Patient Blood Management” irányelveinek az orvosi gyakorlatban történő egyre szélesebb körű alkalmazása elősegíti az optimális vérkészítmény-felhasználást a transzfúziók lehetőség szerinti elkerülésével. Célkitűzés és módszer: Vizsgálatunk célja a Pécsi Tudományegyetem Klinikai Központjának Janus Pannonius Klinikai Tömbjében a vérkészítmény-felhasználás változásainak felmérése volt a 2020. év első öt hónapjában. Eredmények: A járványügyi intézkedéseket követő időszakban szignifikánsan csökkent a hospitalizált betegeknek (34,08%), a transzfúziót igénylő betegeknek (39,69%) és a felhasznált vörösvérsejt-készítményeknek (46,41%) a száma, valamint az egy betegre jutó felhasznált vörösvérsejt-koncentrátum átlaga (2,61-ről 1,97-re) is. Közel 30%-os arányban csökkent a felhasznált friss fagyasztott plazma egységeinek és a thrombocytakoncentrátumoknak a száma is. Következtetés: A szigorú korlátozások életbe léptetését követően a nehézségek ellenére sikerült elegendő mennyiségű vérkészítményt biztosítani a betegeknek. Az Országos Vérellátó Szolgálat Pécsi Regionális Vérellátó Központja munkatársainak és a klinikusok erőfeszítéseinek köszönhetően a vérkészítményigény és -kínálat között új egyensúly alakult ki, mely megfelelő ellátást biztosított a feltétlenül szükséges transzfúziók kivitelezéséhez. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(43): 1717–1723. Summary. Introduction: The impact of COVID–19 pandemic on patient care is pronounced also in Hungary. Blood supply was hindered by the reduction of public blood donation events, the reduced willingness to donate, and the difficult predictability of blood product demand as a result of the epidemiological regulations. The wider application of Patient Blood Management guidelines in the medical practice will promote optimal blood product utilization by avoiding transfusions where possible. Objective and method: The aim of our study was to assess the changes in the usage of blood products in the first five months of 2020 at the Clinical Center of the University of Pécs, Janus Pannonius Clinical Building. Results: In the period following the epidemiological measures, we found reduction in the number of hospitalized patients (34.08%), in the number of patients requiring transfusion (39.69%) and in the number of red blood cell products used (46.41%). The number of transfused red blood cell concentrates per patient was also significantly reduced (from 2.61 to 1.97) in this period. The number of transfused fresh frozen plasma units and platelet concentrates also decreased by approximately 30%. Conclusion: After the implementation of the strict restrictions, despite the difficulties, it was possible to provide patients with sufficient blood products. Due to the efforts of both the Regional Blood Transfusion Center of Pécs of the Hungarian National Blood Transfusion Service and of the clinicians, a new balance was established between the demand and the supply of blood products, which provided adequate care for the necessary transfusions.

Laboratory Results

Massive transfusion in a child is likely to occur in cases of trauma or during surgeries that are at risk for severe blood loss such as liver transplantation and craniofacial procedures. It may also occur when least expected, if inadvertent injury to a vascular structure occurs during surgery. Ability to enlist assistance with administration of the various blood products required and also with checking frequent laboratory results will facilitate the process. Knowledge of the different factors that rapidly become depleted as well as lab values that need to be closely monitored is necessary to avoid further complications during massive blood transfusion.

Transfusion Protocol

A massive transfusion protocol (MTP) was implemented at a Level I trauma center in 2007 for patients with massive blood loss. A goal ratio of plasma to pheresed platelets to packed red blood cells (PRBCs) of 1:1:1 was established. From 2007 to 2014, trauma nurse clinicians (TNCs) administered the MTP during initial resuscitation and anesthesia personnel administered the MTP intraoperatively. In 2015, TNCs began administering the MTP intraoperatively. This study evaluates intraoperative blood product ratios and crystalloid volume administered by anesthesia personnel or TNCs. A retrospective review of trauma registry patients requiring MTP from 2007 to 2017 was performed. Patient data were stratified according to MTP administration by either anesthesia personnel (2007–2015) or TNCs (2015–2017). Ninety-seven patients were included with 54 anesthesia patients and 44 TNC patients. Patients undergoing resuscitation by MTP administered by TNCs received less median crystalloid (3000 mL vs 1500 mL, P < 0.001). The ratio of plasma:PRBC (0.75 vs 0.93, P = 0.027) and platelets:PRBC (0.75 vs 1.04, P = 0.003) was found to be significantly closer to 1:1 for TNC patients. MTP intraoperative blood product administration by TNCs reduced the amount of infused crystalloid and improved adherence to MTP in achieving a 1:1:1 ratio of blood products.

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.

Transfusion Protocol

Abstract Introduction/Objective Massive blood transfusion protocol (MTP) is revealed in many cases, such as massive hemorrhage after surgeries, trauma settings, and labor and delivery. Patients who require blood transfusion of more than ten units of packed red blood cells in 24 hours or transfusion of more than four units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) in one hour are the massive blood transfusion protocol candidates. Methods/Case Report A retrospective study was performed at a 225-bed level III trauma center in California. The overall massive blood transfusion protocol utilization, blood product emergency release, and blood product waste were recorded twelve months before and after launching an educational and collaboration program between blood banks and clinicians about the difference between massive transfusion protocol and blood emergency release. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) MTP utilization for the 12 months (June 2017 to June 2018) was demonstrated as 59 MTP activations: 32 MTPs from the emergency department, 4 MTPs from inpatient floors, 3 MTPs from labor and delivery, and 4 MTPs from operating rooms while the blood product emergency releases were 7 emergency releases. MTP utilization from (June 2018 to June 2019) was demonstrated as 15 MTP activations: 11 MTPs from the emergency department, 2 MTPs from inpatient floors, 1 MTPs from labor and delivery, and 1 MTPs from operating rooms, while the blood product emergency releases were 43 emergency releases. The blood product waste was reduced by 44.6% in 2018. Conclusion There was a significant reduction in MTP activation and blood product waste after implementing the educational program for the clinicians. The collaboration between the blood bank and the clinicians and coordinating educational sessions for clinicians about the difference between MTP and emergency release and the negative impact of the MTP over-activation on the blood product waste and the clinical laboratory scientists in the blood bank is vital in MTP utilization.
