Aims: To review the massive transfusion practice at a Level I adult Trauma Centre during initial trauma reception and resuscitation. Methods: All trauma patients presenting to The Alfred Emergency Et Trauma Centre and receiving a transfusion of five units or more of packed red blood cells within 4 h of presentation over a 26-month period were included in this study. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, injuries, surgical management and volume of blood transfused were analysed with mortality as the primary endpoint. Initial clinical features and injuries predictive of massive transfusion were also analysed. Results: There were 119 patients who received a transfusion of five units or more of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) within 4 h of presentation. The median Injury Severity Score of this group of patients was 34.0 (IQR 26-48) and mortality was 27.7%. The median number of packed red blood cell transfused was 8.0 (IQR 6-14) in the 1st 4 h. Initial clinical features and injuries independently associated with a larger volume of blood transfused were initial hypotension, fractures of the pelvis, kidney injuries, initial acidaemia, and thrombocytopaenia. The Injury Severity Score, initial coagulopathy measured by APTT and the presence of head injuries were the independent predictors of mortality. Conclusions: The volume of blood transfused during trauma resuscitation was not found to be an independent predictor of mortality. Prospective studies into transfusion practice and clinical features of patients during the trauma resuscitation phase requiring massive transfusion are needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for massive transfusion.
