ObjecGves

•  How and why “Blood on board” was launched


•  Share our results
•  Next steps
And will conGnue your efforts……
UK stats – trauma haemorrhage

•  4700 / yr major haemorrhage (1550 dead)
•  1300 / yr massive haemorrhage (585 dead)
•  Deaths 50% in 24hrs (50% in first 4 hrs)
•  50% needed urgent surgery
•  £85 million / yr
Vicky
Video / imaginaGon
•  Look
•  Colour
•  Limb posiGon
•  Eyes – no drugs
•  Why is she dying?
•  What intervenGons does she need?
•  What fluid would you give her?
Crystalloid
•  Every UK ambulance
•  Cheap
•  “safe”

•  Useful for most pts…
but they are not
bleeding
•  How much will Vicky
need to resuscitate her?
Why would you give her crystalloid?
•  Doesn’t stay in vascular space
•  3 Gmes volume for effect
•  No oxygen carrying capacity
•  Increases Gssue oedema
•  Increases acidosis
•  Old debate. Over it!

•  Only if you have no other opGon…..


Vicky needs
•  Team to idenGfy shock
•  Make a diagnosis
•  Deliver excellent basic care
•  Provide appropriate advanced intervenGons
•  Make a risk-benefit analysis about whether to
give blood

Catastrophic haemorrhage in PHC

•  C ABC
•  Tourniquets
•  Novel haemostaGc agents - celox
•  Handling and packaging
•  Splintage
•  Permissive hypotension
•  Damage control resuscitaGon
Catastrophic haemorrhage in PHC
•  RecogniGon of serious haemorrhage
•  AcGvate massive haemorrhage protocols
•  Pre-hospital transfusion
•  Emergency reversal of warfarin at scene / en
route
•  Awareness of novel oral anG-coagulants
•  Aggressive vascular control in the field
Vicky needs a fluid that

•  Carries oxygen to repay oxygen debt


•  Contributes to haemostaGc resuscitaGon
•  Stays in the intravascular space

•  There are risks with blood transfusion but her


predicted mortality exceeds 50%

2007 - how did it all start?
•  Serious incidents at RLH
•  Interested group of people
•  Development of Code Red protocol
•  Increasing frustraGon / awareness of potenGal
to do more
•  Watching paGents die
Pelvic injury
Time to definiGve care…..

Our results
•  Feasible pracGce and low waste
•  Associated with increased survival to ED
•  PotenGal improved organ donaGon rates
•  Will not demonstrate lactate clearance or
increased survival to discharge
•  Not a trial powered to prove anything
•  Needed blood product pre-hospital
–  support our advanced pracGce
–  Replicate hospital care
Pre-hospital blood trials
•  PRBC
•  Improved outcomes – not always stat sig
•  6hr survival
•  24hr survival
•  Reduced blood product transfusion in 24hrs
•  Improved BE / acid base balance on admission
•  Feasible
•  Low waste

•  Enhanced safety / logisGcs – tracking

•  AddiGonal product availability for HEMS
–  Whole blood, liquid plasma, fibrinogen
•  Thawed plasma in resus at RLH
•  Improve in-hospital processes
•  Mass casualty planning
