MASSIVE TRANSFUSION in
traumaDr Gaynor Prince 2015
GOAL DIRECTED COAGULATION MANAGEMENT
Definition
Adults - replacement of >1 blood volume in 24 hours or >50% of blood volume in 4 hours
Children - transfusion of >40ml/kg
When should MTP be triggered?
Senior clinician - suspects impending or established hemorrhagic shock in a bleeding pt
Scoring systems
Thromboelastography
Assessment of Blood Consumption (ABC)
ScoreED SBP <90mmHg
ED HR >120bpm
Penetrating Mechanism
Positive FAST
3 = 45% chance MT
4 = 100% chance MT
TEG and ROTEM
A few things to know...
Viscoelastic haemostatic assay
measures - global visco-elastic properties of whole blood clot formation under low shear stress
What does this mean???
TEG and ROTEM
= interaction of platelets and the coagulation cascade
Assess the entire coagulation process - fibrin formation, clot - rate, strength, stability and lysis
Diagnose Trauma induced Coagulopathy (TIC)
Thromboelastogram
Use
prediction of need for transfusion
Guide transfusion strategy
trauma studies - reduction in blood product use and mortality
