Massive Transfusion in Trauma Patients: Tissue Hemoglobin Oxygen Saturation Predicts Poor Outcome

Abstract: MT progresses rapidly to significant morbidity and mortality despite level I TC care. Patients who require MT can be predicted early, and persistent low StO2 identifies those MT patients destined to have poor outcome. The ultimate goal is to identify these high risk patients as early as possible to test new strategies to improve outcome. Further validation studies are needed to analyze appropriate allocation and study appropriate use of damage control interventions.

“…Furthermore, mean stO 2 less than 75% during surgery was associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation. This association between lower stO 2 and poor outcome is consistent with the results of other studies in other groups of patients 13,15,16,18,25 and could be explained by peripheral hypoperfusion as a surrogate first measure of regional hypoperfusion, 18 caused by the shunting of blood from the peripheral regions of the body to the internal organs during circulatory compromise. 7 Thus, our results provide further evidence that in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, reduced thenar eminence stO 2 (at least in early anesthesia and on return to the ICU) may be associated with greater postoperative morbidity, as defined by POMs, on postoperative days 3 and 15.…”

“…13,15,16 similarly, measurement of thenar stO 2 has been validated as a noninvasive measure of the adequacy of peripheral perfusion during cardiac surgery. 17 However, although reduced stO 2 indicates poorer outcome in other shock states, 18 the relationship between stO 2 and outcome remains largely unexplored in patients who have cardiac surgery. The purpose of our study was to characterize the pattern of change in stO 2 in cardiac surgery patients and to explore its association with postoperative outcome.…”

“…Currently NIRS is used mainly to evaluate cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rSO 2 ) in real-time during cardiovascular procedures, during hemorrhagic shock or in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Besides, NIRS has also become a prospective tool in terms of patient progress and outcome, development of organ dysfunction and resuscitation [10][11][12][13].…”

“…In a randomized study, transfusion with red blood cells at a lower threshold was associated with decreased survival among trauma patients when compared to a more conservative threshold [17]. Furthermore, massive transfusion (C10 units in 24 h) in the setting of trauma was independently associated with poor survival [18]. In the setting of ACS and PCI, blood transfusion has been associated with an increase in mortality [19][20][21].…”
