“…The TRU and the emergency surgery rooms are supervised by an anaesthesiologistintensivist who also acts as the "Trauma Team Leader". In-hospital care included the use of damage control resuscitation strategies [24]. Trauma surgeons are present in the TRU at admission of patients in shock and interventional radiology is available 24 h a day.…”

Background To accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC), viscoelastic haemostatic assays (VHA) are increasingly used worldwide, although their value is still debated, with a recent randomised trial showing no improvement in outcome. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare 2 cohorts of injured patients in which TIC was managed with either a VHA-based algorithm or a conventional coagulation test (CCT)-based algorithm. Methods Data were retrieved from 2 registries and patients were included in the study if they received at least 1 unit of red blood cell in the first 24 h after admission. A propensity score, including sex, age, blunt vs. penetrating, systolic blood pressure, GCS, ISS and head AIS, admission lactate and PTratio, tranexamic acid administration, was then constructed. Primary outcome was the proportion of subjects who were alive and free of massive transfusion (MT) at 24 h after injury. We also compared the cost for blood products and coagulation factors. Results From 2012 to 2019, 7250 patients were admitted in the 2 trauma centres, and among these 624 were included in the study (CCT group: 380; VHA group: 244). After propensity score matching, 215 patients remained in each study group without any significant difference in demographics, vital signs, injury severity, or laboratory analysis. At 24 h, more patients were alive and free of MT in the VHA group (162 patients, 75%) as compared to the CCT group (112 patients, 52%; p < 0.01) and fewer patients received MT (32 patients, 15% vs. 91 patients, 42%, p < 0.01). However, no significant difference was observed for mortality at 24 h (odds ratio 0.94, 95% CI 0.59–1.51) or survival at day 28 (odds ratio 0.87, 95% CI 0.58–1.29). Overall cost of blood products and coagulation factors was dramatically reduced in the VHA group as compared to the CCT group (median [interquartile range]: 2357 euros [1108–5020] vs. 4092 euros [2510–5916], p < 0.001). Conclusions A VHA-based strategy was associated with an increase of the number of patients alive and free of MT at 24 h together with an important reduction of blood product use and associated costs. However, that did not translate into an improvement in mortality.

“…Haemorrhage is the leading cause of death during the first 48 h after severe trauma and remains the most common preventable cause of death . Improvement in the outcome involves measures to facilitate early diagnosis, rapid haemorrhage control with use of tourniquet and haemostatic dressing, but also short scene time and damage control (DC) strategies . The identification of patients who will require DC strategies is therefore a challenge during prehospital care and during on‐scene assessment.…”
