outcomes of patients receiving massive transfusions after trauma

چکیده
introduction transfusion of red blood cells is a key component in the resuscitation of massively hemorrhaging patients post-injury. little is known about the functional status of patients at discharge or the outcome of patients after discharge from acute hospitalization. we assessed the changes among major trauma patients who had received massive transfusions. materials and methods this article is an overview of internal and external resources available. results massive transfusions, independent of injury severity, have been previously associated with adverse outcomes. we showed that this association was no longer demonstrable at 12 months after injury. long-term outcomes and variables associated with unfavorable outcomes. such as a significant reduction in the average volume of red cells transfused and with volumes of ffp transfusion remaining constant; a significantly higher proportion of patients received high ratios of ffp: rbc. in addition, prehospital plasma and rbc transfusions were associated with improved early outcomes and negligible blood products wastage; but not an overall survival advantage. in patients with a closed head injury, neither the administration of erythropoietin nor the maintenance hemoglobin concentration of greater than 10 g/dl resulted in improved neurological outcome at 6-months. the transfusion threshold of 10 g/dl was associated with a higher incidence of adverse events. conclusion massive transfusion rates after trauma had unfavorable outcomes at 6- and 12-months with little change over time. long-term outcomes with functional status should be measured and more commonly reported to reflect the actual sequelae of major trauma and massive blood transfusions.

ANESTHESIA FOR TRAUMA (J-F PITTET, SECTION EDITOR) Trauma and Massive Blood Transfusions
Massive hemorrhage in trauma requires a multitude of interventions in order to obtain the best possible outcome. The resuscitative approach of the actively bleeding trauma patient has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Modern strategies deploy an earlier, more aggressive and holistic approach on both the diagnostic and therapeutic side. This review addresses the physiology of hemorrhage...
متن کاملIndications for CT in patients receiving anticoagulation after head trauma.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Head CT is frequently ordered for trauma patients who are receiving anticoagulation. However, whether patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15 and normal findings on neurologic examination require CT is still debated. The purpose of our study was to assess the use of cranial CT in patients receiving anticoagulants after head trauma and to establish clinical cr...
متن کاملIs fibrinogen the answer to coagulopathy after massive transfusions?
Coagulopathy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who have suffered severe hemorrhage and received massive transfusions. Administration of a fibrinogen concentrate along with red blood cells can quickly restore hemostasis in a clinically relevant animal model.

BACKGROUND Early transfusion of blood products for severely injured patients can improve volume depletion, acidosis, dilution and coagulopathy. There is concern that some patients are unnecessarily exposed to the risks of emergent transfusion with uncrossmatched red blood cell products (URBC) in the emergency department (ED). The goal of this study was to evaluate the transfusion practices in o...
