Objectives Define and classify hemorrhage
Review different types of fluid resuscitation available Discuss the different products used in resuscitation Review massive transfusion protocols Preview newer resuscitation strategies

Hemorrhage In 2005, hemorrhage was the third leading cause of maternal death Per the WHO, leading cause of death worldwide Highly preventable, with aggressive therapy and appropriate management Mortality has been improving with the development and implementation of massive transfusion protocols

Hemorrhage in Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a protected state 40-50% volume expansion Increase in RBC mass by 20-30% Elevated Cardiac Output, 30-50% Decreased systemic vascular resistance Increase in fibrinogen, coagulation factors I, VII, VIII, IX, X

SVR, CO, and BP response to blood loss

Classification of Hemorrhage -OB
Hemorrhage Class Acute Blood Loss % Lost Physiologic Response 1 900ml 15 Asymptomatic 2 1,200-1,500 20-25 Tachycardia and tachypnea, Narrowed pulse pressure, Orthostatic Hypotension, Delayed hypothenar refilling 3 1,800-2,100ml 30-35 Worsening tachycardia and tachypnea, Hypotension, Cool extremities 4 >2,400ml 40 Shock, Oliguria, Anuria Total blood volume = 6,000ml, Average for 60kg pregnant woman

Classification of Hemorrhage- GYN
Blood Loss <750ml ml ml >2000ml Blood volume <15% 15-30% 30-40% >40% Pulse(beats/min) <100 >100 >120 >140 Blood Pressure Normal/Increase Orthostatic Decreased Pulse Pressure Normal Capillary Refill May be delayed Usually Delayed Always Delayed Respirations Normal, >14 20-30 30-40 Near Respiratory Collapse >35 Urinary Output >30ml/hr 20-30ml/hr 5-15ml/hr Essentially anuric Mental status Anxious Confused Obtunded

Per The ICU Book Class 1- Minimal physiologic changes
Class 2- Tachycardia, narrowing pulse pressure Typically compensatory mechanism such as renin-angiotensin compensate Class 3- Compensatory mechanisms begin to fail Class 4- Life threatening If this reaches ischemic injury in the heart or brain, death typically results

Volume Resuscitation IV access
On the basis of speed of fluid infusion, what is preferred, a 16 gauge peripheral IV catheter or a 16 gauge central venous catheter??

Surprise? Q= Rate, P= pressure, r= radius, 𝜇= viscosity, L= length
Q= Rate, P= pressure, r= radius, 𝜇= viscosity, L= length Mateer JR Thompson BM, Aprahamian C, et al. Rapid fluid resuscitation with central venous catheters. Ann Emerg Med 1983; 12:

What goes in the IV? Crystalloids, Colloids, Blood?
Surgical specialties tend to use lactated ringers, emergency rooms use normal saline, trauma surgeons are starting to use blood products Why do we use lactated ringers? Should we?

Crystalloids Electrolyte solutions with small molecules that freely diffuse throughout extracellular space Mostly Na and Cl Sodium- abundant in extracellular fluid, 75% in interstitial fluids For IV administered Na, 75% will therefore end up in interstitial fluids Therefore, the predominant effect of crystalloids is to expand INTERSTITIAL volume, not plasma volume

Crystalloids Therefore, how much of 1 L of normal saline stays in the plasma? A – 1000 ml B – 700 ml C – 500 ml D – 275 ml E – 0 ml

Crystalloids 275ml of a liter of normal saline stays in plasma, 825ml in interstitial volume But wait Allen, = Prepare to have your mind blown

Crystalloid Infusion Fluids

Isotonic Saline – 0.9% Sodium Chloride
Slightly higher Na concentration then plasma 154 vs 140 mEq/L Much higher Cl Concentration 154 vs 103mEq/L Lower pH 5.7 vs 7.4 Slightly higher osmolality 308 vs 290 mOsm/L This causes a shift of approximately 100ml of fluid from intracellular to extracellular upon administration, causing total volume expansion to be 1100ml . . .BOOM!

Isotonic Saline - Disadvantages
Large volumes of isotonic saline will produce a metabolic acidosis Hyperchloremic acidosis produced by the high levels of Cl in isotonic saline Though this is typically without clinical consequence, it has potential negative consequences if it delays identification of lactic acidosis or is combined with another type of acidosis (ie respiratory from anesthesia) Scheingraber S, Rehm, M, et al. Rapid saline infusion produces hyperchloremic acidosis in patient undergoing gynecologic surgery. Anesthesiology , 90:

Lactated Ringer’s Contains Potassium and Calcium in approximately the same ionized concentrations in plasma This causes a lower sodium concentration LR also contains lactate, which allows reduction of the chloride concentration With a chloride concentration closer to that of plasma, there is no risk of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with large infusions

LR, what can’t it do It can’t be infused with some meds, because the calcium can bind to some drugs Examples include aminocaproic acid, amphotericin, ampicillin, thiopental Can bind citrated anticoagulant of blood products and cause clotting If volume of LR does not exceed 50% of pRBC volume, this does not occur

Anyone ever done a study on this stuff
In 2009, 20 pigs underwent liver injuries, hemorrhaged for 30 min, and then in a blinded fashion given LR or NS for resuscitation Given IV fluid to maintain preinjury MAP Monitored oxygenation and pulmonary edema, total fluid volume given, pH, and blood loss Little impact on oxygenation LR has favorable effects on pH, coagulation and hemodynamics Phillips CR, Vinecore K, et al. Resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock with normal saline vs. lactated Ringer’s: effects on exygenation, extravascular lung water and hamodynamics. Crit Care, 2009; 13: R30

Anyone else In 2007, 20 pigs underwent liver injuries, hemorrhaged for 30 minutes, then underwent NS or LR resuscitation to maintain the preinjury MAP for 90 minutes Results: it took 256ml/kg of NS vs 125ml/kg of LR to maintain MAP, urine output for NS was 46.6ml/kg vs LR 18ml/kg, NS animals developed dilutional coagulopathy, had lower fibrinogen, lower platelet count, and lower PT NS animals developed hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and coagulopathy LR animals developed lacticemia not associated with acidosis Todd SR, Malinoski D, et al. Lactated ringer’s is superior to normal saline in the resuscitation of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. Trauma March; 62,

I dare to ask, anyone else
In 2006, 20 pigs underwent liver injuries, hemorrhaged for 30 minutes, and then given either NS or LR to maintain MAP at baseline for 90 minutes Baseline and Q30 min Lactate, ABG, chemistry, PTT, PT and fibrinogen were taken, and thrombelastography (TEG) was performed Kiraly LN, Differding JA, et al. Resuscitation With Normal Saline (NS) vs. Lactated Ringers (LR) Modulates Hypercoagulability and Leads to Increased Blood Loss in an Uncontrolled Hemorrhagic Shock Swine Model. Trauma: 2006; 61:57-65

Pause, whats TEG R= reaction time = time to onset of clot formation, elongation = coagulation factor deficiency Alpha= rapidity of fibrin buildup and cross linking = affected by fibrinogen and platelets K speed to reach certain level of clot strength = platelets and fibrinogen function MA= maximum amplitude = strength of clot, affected primarily by platelets but also fibrinogen Kiraly LN, Differding JA, et al. Resuscitation With Normal Saline (NS) vs. Lactated Ringers (LR) Modulates Hypercoagulability and Leads to Increased Blood Loss in an Uncontrolled Hemorrhagic Shock Swine Model. Trauma: 2006; 61:57-65

And the results With similar injuries, NS group had greater overall blood loss and required 2x the amount of fluid to maintain MAP NS group was more acidotic from 30 minutes on NS group had lower hematocrit, greater PT and PTT times, and a greater R time, all statistically significant Conclusion: NS modulates the hypercoagulable state seen after injury, resulting in increased blood loss Kiraly LN, Differding JA, et al. Resuscitation With Normal Saline (NS) vs. Lactated Ringers (LR) Modulates Hypercoagulability and Leads to Increased Blood Loss in an Uncontrolled Hemorrhagic Shock Swine Model.

Can someone please stab a human
In 2005, 51 patients undergoing renal transplant were placed in a randomized double blinded study to receive LR or NS intraoperative LR is typically not used in this population over concern of the development of hyperkalemia in a population with ESRD, standard of care is NS Rate of fluids was given as clinically indicated and not according to an algorithm Primary outcome measure was serum creatinine concentrations on POD 3 Secondary outcomes included post op urine output, creatinine clearance, rejection, graft loss, intraoperative acid base balance, intraoperative potassium concentrations, blood loss and transfusions requirements and hospital length stay O’malley CM, Frumento RJ, Hardy MA, etal. A Randomized, Double-Blind Comparison of Lactated Ringer’s Solution and 0.9% NaCl During Renal Transplantation. Anesthia Analg 2005; 100:

And the humans showed. . . Serum creatinine POD 3 NS 2.3±1.8, LR 2.1±1.7 Seven units of packed red blood cells were administered in the NS group versus three units in the LR group. Potassium concentrations exceeded 6.0mEq/L in 5/26 NS patients, and 0/25 LR patients The 5 patients in the NS study were treated for hyperkalemia O’malley CM, Frumento RJ, Hardy MA, etal. A Randomized, Double-Blind Comparison of Lactated Ringer’s Solution and 0.9% NaCl During Renal Transplantation. Anesthia Analg 2005; 100:

And the humans showed . . . 8/26 NS patients developed metabolic acidosis and required sodium bicarbonate and 0/25 patients in the LR group developed metabolic acidosis This study was then terminated due to safety concerns of giving patients NS intraoperatively O’malley CM, Frumento RJ, Hardy MA, etal.

Conclusion to the LR vs NS battle
Difficult to say if isotonic saline’s side effects directly change clinical outcomes Based on this data, there are benefits to LR over normal saline

Dextrose Originally developed to provide calories before the introduction of enteral and pareneral nutrition D5- 50grams dextrose/1 liter = 170kcal

Dextrose D5W – ineffective at expanding plasma volume, less then 10% stays in plasma 2/3 of the volume ends up inside cells, causing cellular swelling If circulatory flow is compromised, 85% of glucose metabolism is converted to lactate production This causes a metabolic acidosis when patients with circulatory compromise receive dextrose solutions DeGoute CS, Ray MJ, Manchon M et al. Intraoperative glucose infusion and blood lactate: endocrine and metabolic relationships during abdominal aortic surgery. Anesthesiology 1989;71:

Fluid Na Cl K Osmolality (mOsm/L) Albumin 5% 150 < 2 300 Hetastarch 6% 154 308 Colloids Contain large, poorly diffusible, solute molecules designed to keep water in the vascular space Primary protein doing this in plasma is albumin, responsible for 75% of colloid osmotic pressure The idea of the colloid fluids is to increase the colloid osmotic pressure in the vascular space and bring water into the circulators system

Colloids’ Turn So, the infusion of 1 Liter of 5% Albumin expands the plasma volume how much? A – 1000ml B – 700ml C – 500ml D – 275ml E – 0ml

Colloids turn 700ml increase in the plasma volume and 300ml increment in the interstitial fluid volume Remembering that about 275ml of NS would stay in the plasma volume Colloid fluids are 3 times more effective than crystalloids at increasing plasma volume

Albumin Heat treated preparations of human serum albumin, available in 5% (50g/L) and 25% solutions (250g/L) 5% albumin comes in 250ml doses and 25% albumin comes in 50 or 100ml doses 5% albumin has equivalent concentrations and colloid osmotic pressure to plasma 70% of fluid infused stays in plasma volume for several hours, effect lost completely after 12 hours

Albumin, important note
25% albumin does not provide replacement volume It only causes a shift of fluid from interstitial to intravascular IT IS NOT A VOLUME REPLACEMENT THERAPY and can NOT be used in acute blood loss or dehydration

Albumin, a quick history
In 1998, a Cochrane meta-analysis of 30 randomized control trials of 1419 patients Results: “Pooled relative risk of death with albumin administration was 1.68 (1.26 to 2.23).” “We found no evidence that albumin reduced mortality and a strong suggestion that it might increase the risk of death in patients with hypovolaemia, burns, or hypoproteinaemia. Overall, the risk of death in patients treated with albumin was 6% (95% confidence interval 3% to 9%) higher than in patients not given albumin.” Needless to say, this hurt the use of albumin for resuscitation Cochrane Injuries Group albumin reviewers. Human albumin administration in critically ill patients: systematic review of randomized, controlled trials. Br Med J 1998;317:

Albumin fought back In 2004, a double blinded randomized control trial including 7000 patients was published in the NEJM, 3497 received albumin, 3500 received NS SAFE trial (Saline vs Albumin Fluid Evaluation) 7000 ICU patients, admitted for all reasons, primary outcome was death from any cause at 28 days 726 deaths in albumin group, 729 deaths in normal saline group In conclusion, similar outcomes of 4% albumin as NS SAFE study investigators. A Comparison of Albumin and Saline for Fluid Resuscitation in the Intensive Care Unit. N Engl J Med 2004;350:

Albumin now 2011 Cochrane review of mortality in 38 studies, including the safe study Mortality the primary outcome in all studies “For patients with hypovolaemia, there is no evidence that albumin reduces mortality when compared with cheaper alternatives such as saline.” Albumin Reviewers. Human albumin solution for resuscitation and volume expansion in critically ill patients. Chochran Database Systematic Review Oct 5;(10):CD001208

Hetastarch Hydroxyethyl start is a starch polymer available in a 6% solution in isotonic saline Equivalent to 5% albumin as a plasma volume expander Is less costly then albumin When more then 1500ml given in 24 hours, can cause coagulopathy Inhibits factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, and impair platelet adhesiveness Broken down by amylase and filtered out of the kidneys, so can also cause a transient hyperamylasemia with no deleterious side effects Mixed literature results

So. . . Crystalloids or Colloids?
Due to the transcapillary refill mechanism in hemorrhage, crystalloids gained a strong following among surgical specialties The majority of the data is from the SAFE trial 2011 Cochrane review of 3870 and 3884 patients receiving crystalloid or colloid solutions, 56 randomized controlled trials with mortality data Conclusion: “The review of trials found no evidence that colloids reduce the risk of dying compared with crystalloids.” Perel P, Roberts I. Colloids versus crystalloids for fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients (Review). The Cochrane Library. 2011, Issue 3

How will I use this information
Any patient undergoing surgery needs LR Any patient with hemorrhage should get LR In the ED, especially for operative patients, Isotonic Saline should not be used Albumin is a fine alternative, but given increased cost, I would not use it routinely

Packed Red Blood Cells Only blood product to provide oxygen-carrying capacity 300ml volume 250ml RBCs and 50ml plasma 70kg patient, 1 unit pRBC will raise hemoglobin 1g/dl

Platelets Separated from whole blood and stored in plasma
1 unit will increase platelet count 7,500/mm3 Transfused in concentrations of 5-10 Masonic’s is in concentrations of 5 pooled Single donor preferred over multiple to decrease risk of antigenic exposure, but very difficult if multiple infusions of platelets is necessary

Fresh Frozen Plasma Plasma extracted from whole blood
Contents- fibrinogen, antithrombin III, clotting factors V, XI, XII 250ml Volume Goal- improve coagulation profile and volume resuscitation Monitor- Fibrinogen- 1 unit should raise fibrinogen level by 5-10mg/dl

Cryoprecipitate The precipitate from thawed FFP
Rich in fibrinogen, factor VIII, von Willebrand’s factor, factor XIII Minimal volume- 40ml Monitor with Fibrinogen- increase by 5-10mg/dl

ACOG Guidelines When is blood transfusion recommended?
“Necessary with the extent of blood loss is significant and ongoing, particularly if vital signs are unstable” Martin SR, Strong TH. Transfusion of blood components and derivatives in the obstetric intensive care patient. Obstetric intensive care manual. 2nd edition. New York. McGraw Hill 2004 American college of obstetricians and gynecologists. ACOG practice bulletin: Clinical management guidelines for obstetrician-gynecologists Number 76, October 2006;108:

Trauma Friends? Level 1 Recommendations for critically ill patients
1. RBC transfusion is indicated for patients with evidence of hemorrhagic shock. 2. RBC transfusion may be indicated for patients with evidence of acute hemorrhage and hemodynamic instability or inadequate oxygen delivery. 3. A “restrictive” strategy of RBC transfusion (transfuse when Hb 7 g/dL) is as effective as a “liberal” transfusion strategy (transfusion when Hb 10 g/dL) Napolitano LM, Kurek S, Luchette FA, et al. Clinical Practice Guideline: Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Adult Trauma and Critical Care. Trauma Volume 67, 6;

Trauma Friends Continued
Level 2 Recommendations for critically ill patients 4. The use of only Hb level as a “trigger” for transfusion should be avoided. Decision for RBC transfusion should be based on individual patient’s intravascular volume status, evidence of shock, duration and extent of anemia, and cardiopulmonary physiologic parameters. 5. In the absence of acute hemorrhage, RBC transfusion should be given as single units. 6. Consider transfusion if Hb 7 g/dL in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. There is no benefit of a “liberal” transfusion strategy (transfusion when Hb 10 g/dL) in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. 7. Consider transfusion if Hb 7 g/dL in resuscitated critically ill trauma patients. There is no benefit of a “liberal” transfusion strategy (transfusion when Hb 10 g/dL) in resuscitated critically ill trauma patients. 8. Consider transfusion if Hb 7 g/dL in critically ill patients with stable cardiac disease. There is no benefit of a “liberal” transfusion strategy (transfusion when Hb 10 g/dL) in critically ill patients with stable cardiac disease. 9. RBC transfusion should not be considered as an absolute method to improve tissue oxygen consumption in critically ill patients. Napolitano LM, Kurek S, Luchette FA, et al. Clinical Practice Guideline: Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Adult Trauma and Critical Care. Trauma Volume 67, 6;

Trauma Friends Continued
4. The use of only Hgb level as a “trigger” for transfusion should be avoided. Decision for RBC transfusion should be based on individual patient’s intravascular volume status, evidence of shock, duration and extent of anemia, and cardiopulmonary physiologic parameters.

And the evidence? In 1999, a multicenter randomized control trial was published in the NEJM Compared “restrictive” vs “liberal” transfusion groups Restrictive- maintain Hgb g/dl and transfuse at less then 7.0 g/dl Liberal- maintain Hgb g/dl and transfuse at less then 10.0 g/dl Primary outcome was death of all causes at 30 days Hebert PC, Wells G, Blajchman MA, et al. A multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial of transfusion requirements in critical care. NEJM 1999; 340:6,

And the evidence? Enrolled 838 patients, 418 to restrictive and 420 to liberal Primary outcome- Mortality in restrictive group 18.7%, in liberal group 23.3% Conclusion “The restrictive transfusion strategy was at least as effective as and possibly superior to a liberal transfusion strategy in critically ill patients with euvolemia” Hebert PC, Wells G, Blajchman MA, et al. A multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial of transfusion requirements in critical care. NEJM 1999; 340:6,

Bring it back to hemorrhage
This study is excellent at helping us to assess critically ill patients who are not hemorrhaging, but what about our bleeding patients

IMMC Massive Transfusion Protocol
Decision to initiate by the Attending Physician Cycle 1 : 4 units pRBC brought to room immediately Cycle 2: 6 units pRBC, 4 units FFP, 1 single donor platelets, 10 units cryoprecipitate Cycle 3: Repeat cycle 2 Cycle is to continue to repeat until cancelled by attending physician!

Area’s to Explore Acute normovolemic hemodilution
Recombinant factor VIIa

What is Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution
Remove ml blood before surgery Replace with crystalloids Perform surgery Once bleeding is controlled, re-infuse the removed blood

What’s wrong with pRBC? Expense Risk of transfusion reaction
Risk of infectious disease

Sorry, a British Review Immediate pre operative collection in the OR of patients blood replaced in a 3:1 ratio by crystalloids Tends to be 2-3 units Stored in citrated bags, 6 hours at room temp and 12 hours refrigerated Requirements- Starting Hgb >10.0g/dl, no myocardial disease, pre op EBL >20% blood volume S. Catling, Blood conservation techniques in obstetrics: a UK perspective, International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, Volume 16, Issue 3, July 2007, Pages ,

British Review Continued
Body compensates for acute loss of blood by increasing O2 extraction and increasing cardiac output Intraop blood loss is “Hgb poor blood” Blood is replaced before leaving the OR Patient receives their own RBC’s and platelets back If IV tubing is kept in contact at all times, this is acceptable by most Jehovah's witnesses S. Catling, Blood conservation techniques in obstetrics: a UK perspective, International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, Volume 16, Issue 3, July 2007, Pages ,

The Catch Insufficient level 1 evidence to suggest that ANH reduces allogenic transfusions Therefore no group has yet to make recommendations for or against this technique

Recombinant Activated Factor VII
Precursor to extrinsic clotting cascade Used in cases of massive procoagulant factor consumption Can reverse DIC in 10 minutes IV dose micrograms/kg Half life is 2 hours Though intended for use in patients with thrombophilia, has been used off label to reverse DIC

Risks of Recombinant Activated Factor VII
In a 2010 meta analysis of 35 placebo controlled trials using factor rFVIIa for treatment or prevention of bleeding 9.0% risk of thrombotic event, with an increased risk of an arterial thrombosis No change in risk of venous thrombotic event Levi M, Levy JH, Andersen HF, Truloff D.Safety of recombinant activated factor VII in randomized clinical trials.
