Abstract |
Objective |
We hypothesised that the association of tranexamic acid (TXA) administration and thromboelastometry-guided haemostatic therapy (TGHT) with implementation of Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) reduced blood products (BP) use and massive transfusion (MT).
Methods |
Retrospective comparison of 2 cohorts of trauma patients admitted in a university hospital, before (Period 1) and after implementation of DCR, TXA (first 3-hours) and TGHT (Period 2). Patients were included if they received at least 1 BP (RBC, FFP or platelet) or coagulation factor concentrates (fibrinogen or prothrombin complex) during the first 24-hours following the admission.
Results |
380 patients were included. Patients in Period 2 (n = 182) received less frequently a MT (8% vs. 33%, P < 0.01), significantly less BP (RBC: 2 units [1–5] vs. 6 [3–11]; FFP: 0 units [0–2] vs. 4 [2–8]) but more fibrinogen concentrates (3.0 g [1.5–4.5] vs. 0.0 g [0.0–3.0], P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified Period 1 as being associated with an increased risk of receiving MT (OR: 26.1, 95% CI: 9.7–70.2) and decreased survival at 28 days (OR: 2.0, 95% CI: 1.0–3.9). After propensity matching, the same results were observed but there was no difference for survival and a significant decrease for the cost of BP (2370 ± 2126 vs. 3284 ± 3812 €, P: 0.036).
Conclusion |
Following the implementation of a bundle of care including DCR, TGHT and administration of TXA, we observed a decrease to the use of blood products, need for MT and an improvement of survival.
