Abstract
Introduction: Blood transfusions carry risks and complications. At the University Hospital of Lausanne the need for transfusion in early trauma resuscitation is based on clinical judgment and standard laboratory tests. We aimed to assess the transfusion practice for trauma patients during their early management.
Method: Based on 2008 data from the Lausanne Trauma Registry of Acute Care (TRAC), we analyzed all adult trauma patients admitted to the shock room who received blood products or pro-coagulants in shock room and/or during their emergency operation. Demographics, physiological parameters and lab tests were recorded at arrival and at the end of anesthesiologic management. Coagulopathy was defined as PT <70%, PTT >60 sec, Fibrinogen <1 g/l or Thrombocytes <100 x 109 g/l.
Results: In 2008, 323 trauma-patients were included in TRAC. 55 patients (17%) received blood products or pro-coagulants. 44 (83%) had an ISS >15 (med 29, IQR 10-35.5). 43 (78.2%) needed an emergency intervention. Coagulopathy was present in 25 patients (45.5%) at arrival vs. 30 (54.5%) after resuscitation (p = 0.446).
