[Clinical study of massive transfusions (108 cases)].

A Elman, C Métrot-Magny, F Courtois

    Annales De L'Anesthesiologie Francaise
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Massive transfusions in surgery are risky. Key factors like age over 60, over 30 units transfused, cirrhosis, acute bleeding, or peroperative hemorrhage predict mortality, not transfusion complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Surgical Critical Care
    • Hemorrhagic Shock Management

    Context:

    • Massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) are critical in managing severe hemorrhage.
    • 108 surgical patients undergoing massive transfusions were analyzed.
    • Mortality rate was 55.6% (60 out of 108 patients).

    Purpose:

    • To identify predictors of mortality in patients receiving massive transfusions.
    • To establish simple criteria for restricting the use of massive transfusions.
    • To assess the impact of transfusion complications on outcomes.

    Summary:

    • Age > 60 years, >30 units transfused, cirrhosis, acute bleeding source, and peroperative hemorrhage were significant predictors of mortality.
    • Infectious disease transmission, hemostasis disturbances, and metabolic/respiratory complications had minimal impact on mortality.
    • Simple clinical and situational factors, rather than transfusion-related complications, determined survival in massive transfusion patients.

    Impact:

    • Identified key criteria to guide the judicious use of massive transfusions.
    • Highlights the importance of patient-specific factors and bleeding source in transfusion management.
    • Informs clinical decision-making to potentially improve outcomes in critically bleeding surgical patients.
