Abstract

Purpose

An update paper on massive bleeding after major trauma. A review of protocols to address massive bleeding, and its possible complications, including coagulation abnormalities, complications related to blood storage, immunosuppression and infection, lung injury associated with transfusion, and hypothermia is carried out.

Methods

Literature review and discussion with authors’ experience.

Results

Massive bleeding is an acute life-threatening complication of major trauma, and consequently its prompt diagnosis and treatment is of overwhelming importance. Treatment requires rapid surgical management together with the massive infusion of colloid and blood.

Conclusions

Since massive transfusion provokes further problems in patients who are already severely traumatized and anaemic, once this course of action has been decided upon, a profound knowledge of its potential complications, careful monitoring and proper follow-up are all essential. To diagnose this bleeding, most authors favour, as the main first choice tool, a full-body CT scan (head to pelvis), in non-critical severe trauma cases. In addition, focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST, an acronym that highlights the necessity of rapid performance) is a very important diagnostic test for abdominal and thoracic bleeding. Furthermore, urgent surgical intervention should be undertaken for patients with significant free intraabdominal fluid and haemodynamic instability. Although the clinical situation and the blood haemoglobin concentration are the key factors considered in this rapid decision-making context, laboratory markers should not be based on a single haematocrit value, as its sensitivity to significant bleeding may be very low. Serum lactate and base deficit are very sensitive markers for detecting and monitoring the extent of bleeding and shock, in conjunction with repeated combined measurements of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen and platelets.
