3 Transfusion strategies Formula driven: 1:1:1-concept Lab-driven Individualized POC-driven

4 Results:... Patients arrived in the ICU 6.8 ± 0.3 hours after admission. Coagulopathy, present at hospital admission (pre-icu INR, 1.8 ± 0.2) persisted at ICU admission (initial ICU INR, 1.6 ± 0.1).... In the ICU during resuscitation mean INR decreased to 1.4 ± 0.03 within 8 hours, indicating moderate coagulopathy.... The ratio of FFP:PRBC was 1:1.... Statistical analysis found severity of coagulopathy (INR) at ICU admission associated with survival outcome (p = 0.02). 1: hours to achieve an INR < 1.5!

5 Conclusion:... More aggressive pre-icu intervention to correct coagulopathy may be effective in decreasing RPBC requirement during ICU resuscitation, and, because of the association with increased mortality, could improve outcome.... We think that treatment of coagulopathy can be improved with the development of standardized protocols, both empiric and data driven.!!

7 Exposure to ABO-compatible plasma results in an increase in overall complications (53.5% vs 40.5%, P =.002), in particular ARDS (19.4% vs 9.2%, P =.0011) and sepsis (38.0% vs 28.9%, P =.02). There is a stepwise increase in the complication rate as exposure increases (reaching 70.0% for patients receiving more than 6 U; these patients also had a 4-fold increase in ARDS).

8 86082 Swedish patients receiving their first plasma transfusion (follow up of 14 days) Transfusion of 5 or more units of AB0-compatible but non-identical plasma was associated with an increased mortality by 15% compared to recipients of only AB0-identical plasma

12 Results: A high ratio of FFP:RBC in the 15 TASH group was independently associated with survival, with an odds-ratio of 2.5 ( ), while the <15TASHgroupwas associated with increased multi-organ failure, 47% vs. 38%, (P < 0.005).

13 DO YOU HAVE THE BLEEDING UNDER CONTROL??? Will this patient bleed?

14 ROTEM analysis enables rapid detection of most coagulation disorders; this study demonstrates the additional benefit of MT risk stratification using results available within 10 minutes after CT.

23 Pyramid of therapy in coagulopathy rfviia FVIII / FXIII Platelets PCC (or FFP) Fibrinogen (or Cryo) Hyperfibrinolysis? Aspirin? Oral anticoagulants? Heparin? Basic conditions (T C > 34ºC; ph > 7,2; Ca i > 1 mmol/l; Hb > 8 g/l) Surgical stanching (Compression bandage; MAST; pelvic compression; packing)

43 115 patients with coagulopathy 44 patients (38.3%) received FFP transfusion INR was corrected in 16 of 44 patients (36%) Median dose of FFP in patients with corrected INR was 17 ml/kg Median dose of FFP in patients without corrected INR was 10 ml/kg New onset of acute lung injury (ALI) was more frequent in the transfused group (18% vs 4%; p = 0.021) Conclusion: The risk-benefit ratio of FFP transfusion in critically ill medical patients with coagulopathy may not be favorable!

44 Advantages of Fibrinogen concentrate and PCC against FFP Rapid, effective, and well predictable increase in coagulation factor activity Applicable in a small volume without the risk of transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) No risk of TRALI and mistransfusion (both responsible for most fatal cases of transfusionrelated adverse events) Effective viral inactivation / elimination (no reported case of viral transmission within the last ten years)

68 The treatment of bleeding is to stop the bleeding! Treatment... and to avoid of trauma-related thromboembolic hemorrhage events!... to reduce transfusion requirements and transfusion-related adverse events!... to safe patient s life and hospital costs!

69 Massive transfusion protocols are essential but massive transfusion avoiding algorithms are superior!

70 We can transfuse FFP early in order to stop bleeding or we can stop bleeding early in order to avoid FFP transfusion!
