Data of good methodological quality have recently become available to support prehospital use of transfusion in the severe trauma setting. Consistent with recent guidelines for the implementation of damage control resuscitation in the hospital in this setting and in the wake of numerous cohort study data from wartime medicine, they are now guided by recent guidelines for the use of freeze-dried plasma. The main difficulties to overcome in order to implement a practice are of a regulatory and logistic nature.

Constructing a predictive model for high intraoperative excessive bleeding in patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and fusion internal fixation surgery during outpatient visits.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a risk prediction model for high intraoperative bleeding in patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and fusion surgery and to implement blood management to enhance outcomes.
- Researchers collected and analyzed data from patients who had the surgery between 2016 and 2021, examining 24 preoperative factors using logistic regression to build a predictive model and created a nomogram for visualization.
- The resulting model showed moderate accuracy, with an area under the curve of 0.723, helping doctors assess bleeding risks and tailor treatment plans for better patient safety.
Assessing the evolution of pre-hospital combat casualty care: A comparative study of two conflicts a decade apart.

Article Synopsis
- Combat casualty care has improved due to evidence-based protocols, with a study comparing prehospital care and outcomes of patients from conflicts in 2014 and 2023 in southern Israel.
- The study found that the number of evacuated patients increased significantly from 251 in 2014 to 940 in 2023, while the time to hospital arrival decreased.
- There was an increase in the proportion of severely injured patients, a decrease in some advanced prehospital interventions, and an increase in prehospital blood transfusions, but in-hospital mortality rates remained stable across both conflicts.
Agreement of point-of-care and laboratory lactate levels among trauma patients and association with transfusion.
Vox Sang
November 2024
Department of Paramedicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background And Objectives: In the setting of trauma and suspected critical bleeding, indications to commence blood transfusions remain unclear, with high rates of potentially avoidable transfusions. Prehospital blood lactate measurements could help predict the need for blood transfusions. The aim of this study was to compare measurements detected by a point-of-care (POC) lactate device with laboratory measured lactate levels.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 262 patients, 58.8% were treated with a pelvic binder, with usage rates increasing for more severe injuries; presence of hemodynamic instability significantly influenced the decision to apply the binder.
- * The findings indicate that having a physician at the trauma site correlated with higher application rates of pelvic binders in patients, highlighting the importance of medical personnel in emergency care settings.
A Deployable Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor Enables Point-of-Care Assessment of Coagulopathy in Swine With Polytrauma.
Mil Med
September 2024
Autonomous Reanimation and Evacuation Research Institute, The Geneva Foundation, San Antonio, TX 78235, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effectiveness of the Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM) as a point-of-care tool to quickly assess blood coagulation after trauma, comparing it to the standard TEG 5000 method to check for correlations and identify coagulopathic conditions in swine models.
- - Twenty anesthetized swine were subjected to various traumatic injuries, with blood samples taken at multiple time intervals to evaluate the VCM's performance in measuring coagulation changes over time and its relationship with other standard tests and vital parameters.
- - The results indicated that VCM could effectively detect significant changes in clotting metrics after trauma and did not find significant differences in results whether cartridges were warmed by a heating plate or by being
