This study aimed to explore the correlation between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion volume and patient mortality in massive blood transfusion. A multicenter retrospective study was carried out on 1,601 surgical inpatients who received massive blood transfusion in 20 large comprehensive hospitals in China. According to RBC transfusion volume and duration, the patients were divided into groups as follows: 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-39 and ≥40 units within 24 or 72 h. Mortality in patients with different RBC transfusion volumes was analyzed. It was found that patient mortality increased with the increase in the volume of RBC transfusion when the total RBC transfusion volume was ≥10 units within 24 or 72 h. Survival analysis revealed significant differences in mortality according to the RBC transfusion volume (χ2=72.857, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that RBC transfusion volume is an independent risk factor [odds ratio (OR) = 0.52; confidence interval (CI): 0.43-0.64; P<0.01] for the mortality of patients undergoing a massive blood transfusion. When RBCs were transfused at a volume of 5-9 units within 24 and 72 h, the mortality rate was the lowest, at 3.7 and 2.3% respectively. It is concluded that during massive blood transfusion in surgical inpatients, there is a correlation between RBC transfusion volume within 24 or 72 h and the mortality of the patients. Patient mortality increases with the increase in the volume of RBC transfusion. RBC transfusion volume, the length of stay at hospital and intensive care unit stay constitute the independent risk factors for patient mortality.
PURPOSE:This study aimed to determine the optimal composition and timing for the administration of blood supplements during in vivo blood transfusion with red blood cells suspension (pRBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and apheresis platelet (PLT) administered for the correction of anemia and coagulation dysfunction caused by in vitro hemodilution.MATERIALS AND METHODS:We collected blood samples from 24 healthy volunteers and prepared various dilutions of whole blood with normal saline: 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6, 3:7, 2:8, and 1:9. The diluted blood samples were then supplemented with blood components at various proportions and then analyzed to determine the values of the routine blood indices, coagulation indices, and thromboelastogram measures.RESULTS:At hemodilutions of 40%, 50%, and 60%, the hemoglobin, coagulation indices, and platelet number and function reached critical levels, necessitating supplementation with pRBC, FFP, and PLT, respectively. When hemodilution was 90%, the supplementation required was approximately 1:1.3:0.9 of pRBC/FFP/PLT.CONCLUSION:The use of pRBC, FFP, and PLT in appropriate proportions can correct the blood coagulation dysfunction and anemia caused by in vitro hemodilution, and these proportions can be used as guidelines for in vivo massive transfusion.
Clinical observations suggest that red blood cells (RBCs) participate directly in hemostasis. We designed an in-vitro system aimed at evaluating the hemostatic function of RBCs. Blood samples were collected from 20 healthy volunteers and packed RBCs (PRBCs) were supplied by the Shaanxi Province Blood Center. We investigated the effect of RBCs and hemoglobin concentration on the hemostatic function in vitro by thromboelastography. The activation of platelets was evaluated by detecting their active markers through flow cytometry. PRBCs ameliorated the coagulation disorders induced by dilution of the blood in vitro. However, addition of hemoglobin did not increase the blood coagulation, as the level of hemoglobin was negatively correlated to the clot index. Furthermore, washing PRBCs to remove contaminating residual clotting factors and platelets excluded that the coagulation effect of the PRBCs transfusion was because of the RBCs itself. Platelet activity in PRBCs exposed to storage greater than 3 weeks was not significantly reduced consistent with it being a possible contributor. Therefore, we postulate that the suspected coagulation effects ascribed to the PRBCs at transfusion may simply be because of residual clotting factors and active platelets incompletely removed in the preparation of PRBCs rather than because of the red cell membrane or its contents.
Objective: The aim of this study was to learn the current situation of surgical massive transfusion of death and survival groups in China, which could provide the basis for the formulation of guidelines on massive transfusion. Methods: A multicenter retrospective research for the application status of blood constituents during massive blood transfusion was conducted, the differences of fresh frozen plasma and platelet application between death group and survival group were compared, and the transfusion volume and the distribution of other blood constituents were analyses at different periods of time when red blood cells are infused between death group and survival group. Results: The patients with fresh frozen plasma compare the patients with red blood cell was 1:1-2 during massive transfusion, while the dosage of platelet and cryocepitate were transfused very small. Results showed that the average amount of platelet and plasma in death group was significantly lower than those in survival group. Conclusion: During massive transfusion, clinicians in 20 Chinese hospitals paid more attention to the infusion of fresh frozen plasma while making the infusion of red blood cells. However, they paid little attention to the supplement of platelet and cryocepitate. The average quantity of plasma and platelet in survival group were also higher than those in death group.
The variations in the coagulation indices of patients receiving massive blood transfusion were investigated across 20 large‑scale general hospitals in China. The data of 1,601 surgical inpatients receiving massive transfusion were retrospectively collected and the trends in the platelet counts and coagulation indices prior to and at 16 different time points during packed red blood cell (pRBC; after 2‑40 units of pRBC) transfusion were evaluated by linear regression analysis. Temporal variations in the means of prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIB) concentration were also assessed and the theoretical estimates and actual measurements of the platelet count were compared. The results demonstrated that the platelet count decreased linearly with an increase in the number of pRBC units transfused (Y=150.460‑3.041X; R2 linear=0.775). Following transfusion of 18 units of pRBC (0.3 units of pRBC transfused per kilogram of body weight), the average platelet count decreased to 71x10(9)/l (<75x10(9)/l). Furthermore, variations in the means of PT, INR, APTT and FIB did not demonstrate any pronounced trends and actual platelet counts were markedly higher than the theoretical estimates. In conclusion, no variations in the means of traditional coagulation indices were identified, however, the platelet count demonstrated a significant linear decrease with an increase in the number of pRBC units transfused. Furthermore, actual platelet counts were higher than theoretical estimates, indicating the requirement for close monitoring of actual platelet counts during massive pRBC transfusion.
Resuscitation with the early administration of plasma can improve the survival of patients undergoing surgery or trauma patients who require massive transfusion. To ascertain the optimal ratio of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to packed red blood cells (pRBCs) in massive transfusions, the records of 1,048 patients who received a massive transfusion at 20 hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were stratified into three groups according to the ratio of FFP to pRBCs. These were the low (<1:2.3), middle (1:2.3-0.75) and high (1:0.75) ratio groups. For 24-h treatment, the middle FFP:pRBC ratio led to a lower mortality rate (9.31%) compared with that in the low (11.83%) and high (11.44%) ratio groups (P=0.477). For 72-h treatment, the middle FFP:pRBC ratio also lead to the lowest mortality rate (7.25%), which was significantly lower than the ratios in the low (10.39%) and high (13.65%) ratio groups (P=0.007). The length of hospital stay, ICU stay, and FFP:pRBC ratio in 72 h were found to be significant associated with mortality. The optimal ratio of FFP to pRBCs of 1:2.3-0.75 in 72 h can improve the survival of patients undergoing massive transfusions.
Objective: This study aims to learn about the current situation of surgical massive blood transfusion in China's Class III general hospitals, which could provide the basis for the formulation of guidelines on massive blood transfusion. Methods: A multicenter retrospective research on the application status of blood constituents during massive blood transfusion was conducted and a comparative analysis on the distribution of the population infused with other blood constituents and the transfusion volume at different periods of time when red blood cells are infused in different units within 24 hours as well as on the blood applied for both the death group and survival group was made in this study. Results: In China, during massive blood transfusion the ratio of the dosage of fresh frozen plasma to the dosage of red blood cell suspension reached 1:1-2, while the dosage of platelet and cryocepitate appeared to be very small. Conclusion: During massive blood transfusion, clinicians in 20 Chinese hospitals paid more attention to the infusion of fresh frozen plasma while making the infusion of red blood cells. However, they paid little attention to the supplement of platelet and cryocepitate.
