New evidence in trauma resuscitation - is 1:1:1 the answer?

Abstract: Traumatic injury is a common problem, with over five million worldwide deaths from trauma per year. An estimated 10 to 20% of these deaths are potentially preventable with better control of bleeding. Damage control resuscitation involves early delivery of plasma and platelets as a primary resuscitation approach to minimize trauma-induced coagulopathy. Plasma, red blood cell and platelet ratios of 1:1:1 appear to be the best substitution for fresh whole blood; however, the current literature consists only of su… Show more

“…Contrary to traditional teaching, resuscitation with large volumes of crystalloid in trauma patients has now been replaced by targeted blood and blood product transfusion. 22,23 In terms of rapid fluid resuscitation, in one retrospective study, those patients surviving from traumatic cardiac arrest had significantly more fluid resuscitation than those non-survivors (although blood products were not used in this study). 24 The role of thoracotomy.…”

“…These complexities may explain the failure of systematic reviews to find consistent clinical benefits of plasma transfusion, except in plasma exchange for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura . Plasma transfusion remains a commonly prescribed procedure and many clinicians remain convinced of its value; indeed its earlier and more aggressive use has been advocated in trauma settings …”

“…Treatment must involve external compression to stop further loss, gaining access to wide-bore cannula, and initiate rapid transfusion of blood and blood products along with the attempts of CPR. In contrast to the traditional teaching, blood and blood products are preferred over the crystalloid transfusion [97,98]. Although supportive evidence has demonstrated improved survival in patients receiving more fluid resuscitation (crystalloids) [99].…”
