La cirugía que se realiza en víctimas de una situación de conflicto armado es en general diferente a las que se efectúan en tipos diversos de trauma. Las heridas originadas en conflictos armados son causadas por balas o fragmentos de la explosión de minas o bombas y siempre se consideran lesiones contaminadas. Para estas intervenciones es importante que los médicos cirujanos, anestesiólogos y enfermeras comprendan las particularidades de las heridas generadas en el conflicto y que tengan un rápido acceso a los conocimientos de como proceder en tales casos. Esta Guía aspira contribuir con estos propósitos.

New Rapid-Deployment Plasma Protocol for Trauma Care Effectively Treats Patients Quicker in the Emergency Room

New Rapid-Deployment Plasma Protocol for Trauma Care Effectively Treats Patients Quicker in the Emergency Room

American College of Surgeons guidelines enable trauma centers to deliver key blood component three times faster than traditional delivery method.

NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHICAGO (May 28, 2015): Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death among people under age 45, but if trauma  physicians could deliver plasma to these injury victims within minutes of their arrival in the emergency room, more of them would stand a better chance of survival.

When they arrive at the hospital, trauma victims can often wait 30 minutes or longer to receive plasma because the traditional way of giving them plasma involves two time-consuming steps: testing for blood type and then thawing frozen plasma. “There’s a golden hour after trauma where you need to be able to stabilize the patient,” explained  Deborah Novak, MD, of the University of Arizona, Tucson, lead author of a new study on a rapid-deployment plasma protocol.

The study was conducted at 12 urban trauma centers. Researchers found that trauma teams could consistently deliver plasma to trauma patients three times faster than the traditional delivery method.  The latest results from the Pragmatic, Randomized Optimal Platelets and Plasma Ratios (PROPPR) clinical trial determined that the participating trauma centers were able to utilize a new clinical guideline to have thawed plasma delivered to the trauma patient’s bedside within 10 minutes of arrival. The most recent report was published online in the journal Transfusion, a publication of the American Association of Blood Banks, in advance of print publication in June.

The investigators evaluated the utility of guidelines for massive transfusion developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP®). Approximately 4,700 units of plasma were given to the 680 patients enrolled in the trial.

Whole blood, used for transfusion when patients lose excessive amounts of blood, is divided into its three key components that makes it easier to store and keep fresh: plasma, platelets, and red blood cells. “Plasma contains the critical proteins necessary for the human body to control, and stop, bleeding,” Dr. Novak said.  Platelets are essential for clotting, and red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.

Traditional trauma resuscitation involves giving the patient non-blood fluids, called crystalloid fluids, and red blood cells early on, and then administering plasma and platelets later. Plasma is typically stored frozen and thawed only when trauma staff request it. While this method successfully treats most trauma victims with mild or moderate injuries, military and civilian researchers have found that individuals with massive bleeding benefit when they received plasma at the same ratio as red blood cells. “A renewed look at the process resulted in the concept of transfusing plasma earlier, with red blood cells and plasma in ratios that approximate the reconstitution of the original unit of whole blood,” Dr. Novak said.  

PROPPR focuses on the use of universal-donor plasma—that is, plasma that can be given to all blood types—but because thawed, universal-donor plasma can be scarce at times, three trial sites used blood type A plasma instead without complications. This approach was an important side note of the trial, according to Dr. Novak. “What we found out and what other places have found is that trauma teams can safely use AB or limited amounts of A plasma for that small window when the patient’s blood type is not yet known,” Dr. Novak said. That finding could be significant in sustaining supplies of unthawed plasma for trauma use.

But the challenge is to have plasma thawed and ready when the patient arrives at the emergency room. Thawed plasma must be discarded after five days whereas frozen plasma can last up to a year. “So any hospital endeavoring to maintain a pre-thawed plasma inventory could experience additional wastage,” Dr. Novak said.  “The key to controlling the amount of wastage depends on balancing the amount of plasma pre-thawed, and the amount of plasma used daily in the facility.” Eleven sites reported thawed plasma wastage of less than 10 percent of units. Only one of 12 sites reported having to discard about 25 percent of the thawed plasma. The other sites reported no increase, illustrating that with careful inventory management, wasted plasma need not increase, while clinical outcomes can improve.

Overcoming the challenge of getting thawed plasma rapidly into the trauma unit was an essential component of the PROPPR trial. Eleven of the 12 sites were able to consistently delivery six units of thawed plasma to the patient’s bedside within 10 minutes of arrival. The twelfth site, which had only two trauma patients a month, was able to do so within 15 minutes.

The blood bank guidelines spelled out by ACS TQIP enabled these centers to achieve the goal of delivering thawed plasma within 10 minutes, noted PROPPR trial coauthor Bryan Cotton, MD, MPH, FACS, professor of surgery at University of Texas Health Sciences Center in Houston.  “That step really brought those centers’ the ability to deliver and pull off the massive transfusion protocol and meet those TQIP guidelines in such a dramatic fashion,” said Dr. Cotton, who is also a member of the expert committee that drafted the TQIP guidelines.

Future studies using the PROPPR data will closely evaluate problems with inflammation and clotting after trauma, and to influence the guidelines regarding the way massively hemorrhaging trauma patients receive transfusions.

Books by Will Chapleau The PARAMEDIC By Will Chapleau Ever since the first EMT book was written, there have been two philosophies chosen by the authors for the reader: One type is to provide for the minimal required information and to meet only the minimum standards required by the profession. At the other end of the spectrum is the philosophy that is written to be all-inclusive. This will give the student reader (and ultimately patient care provider) the strongest knowledge possible. If you or your family were to become sick or injured in the middle of the night, in the blowing snow or in the cold rain, do you want the EMT taking care of you to be the very best they possibly could be or simply one who has taken the course to “get by”? This book is not a “get by” book. This book is not written by “get by” authors. This book is not edited by “get by” editors. Just open this book and look at the four editors—four better people in the United States to write such a book could not have been chosen.  Norman E.

PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support, Eighth Edition is the next step in the evolution of the premier global prehospital trauma education program. For three decades, PHTLS has improved the quality of trauma patient care and has saved lives. The Eighth Edition of PHTLS continues the PHTLS mission to promote excellence in trauma patient management by all providers involved in the delivery of prehospital care through global education. This legendary program was first developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) in the early 1980s in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT). Its medical content is continuously revised and updated to reflect current, state-of-the-art knowledge and practice. PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the foundation for providing quality care. It is based on the belief that EMS practitioners make the best decisions on behalf of their patients when given a good foundation of knowledge and key principles. The Eighth Edition of PHTLS features a new chapter, Physiology of Life and Death. This chapter creates a solid understanding of the physiology of life and pathophysiology that can lead to death. This understanding is essential for the prehospital care provider if abnormalities are to be found and addressed quickly in the trauma patient. Clear Approach to Assessing a Trauma Patient In the field, seconds count. PHTLS teaches and reinforces the principles of rapidly assessing a trauma patient using an orderly approach, immediately treating life-threatening problems as they are identified, and minimizing any delays in initiating transport to an appropriate destination.
