Massive Transfusion Protocol
• Mortality in massive transfusion is high – up to 57% (patients transfused >50 RBC units)
• Coagulopathy is present early and not only a factor of hemodilution (Gonzalez et al 2007)
• A recent retrospective review shows an increase in survival with a 1:1:1 ratio of plasma: platelets: RBCs

Massive Transfusion Protocol
• New Trend to give RBCs, FFP and Platelets to simulate whole blood
• Typical Published Ratios of RBC:FFP:Platelets using Typical Products– 6 units RBC Adult (250ml/unit)– 6 units FFP (~250ml/unit)– 6 units Platelet Concentrate (50ml/unit)
![Page 38: Emergency & Massive Transfusion Brian Poirier, MD UCDavis Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56649cef5503460f949bd050/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
UCDMC Massive Transfusion Guideline
(Established 2008)
• Adult Replacement Volumes established based on Acute Blood Loss of 50% and maintenance of a RBC:FFP:Platelet ratio of whole blood AND using the products available at UCDMC– 6 units RBC Adult (250ml/unit)– 3 units FFP Jumbo (400ml/unit)– 1 unit Plateletpheresis (250ml/unit)

Pediatric MTG
Used Pediatric Growth Charts to determine the weights of children at various age groups and adult dosages were downsized proportionally
MTG specifies what you will receive in the box NOT necessarily the exact dosage for the patient
Each child will need a dosage calculation or estimate based on their size and extent of hemorrhage
![Page 41: Emergency & Massive Transfusion Brian Poirier, MD UCDavis Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56649cef5503460f949bd050/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Problems of the MTG
• Is it translatable to civilian practice? Is it needed for all patients or only the most severely injured ?
• Wastage of (precious) AB plasma.
• Will it increase acute pulmonary events - TACO & TRALI?

Preventing Errors
• Non-punitive error reporting system to uncover systemic/organizational problems
• Process Control to Neutralize Human Error– Strict DOE policy (name change requires
ABO verification)– ABO Verification on all 1st time recipients
• System Audits
![Page 52: Emergency & Massive Transfusion Brian Poirier, MD UCDavis Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013115/56649cef5503460f949bd050/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Phlebotomy Errors
• Highest Single Source has always been ER
• 1994 Study showed ER as Major contributor of Mislabelled Specimens
• Current Audits still show ER submits many mislabelled specimens but they’ve improved
