About this trial

This study aims to evaluate among trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock the clinical impact of hemostatic resuscitation between whole blood vs. blood components therapy in the following outcomes in a hierarchical analysis: mortality at 28 days and evolution of organ dysfunction.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patients (> 18 years)

Activating institutional trauma code for trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock.

Candidate for massive transfusion (Patient with an Assessment Blood Consumption (ABC) Score ≥ 2 or at the discretion of the treating physician)

Concurrent availability of whole blood or blood component therapy

Disqualifiers

More than 4 hours from trauma to hospital admission

More than 2 hours from hospital admission to randomization

Transfusion of more than one packed red blood cell unit prior to randomization.

Patients who have undergone surgery (laparotomy, thoracotomy, or sternotomy) before hospital admission.

Trial design

Design model

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Transfusion of blood products

    Biological/Vaccine

    The intervention will be either a) administration of 6 units of whole blood or b) administration of blood component therapy in the proportion of 6:6:6 units of red blood cells, plasma, and platelets.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The primary outcome is a hierarchical outcome consisting of mortality at 28 days post-randomization and evolution of organ dysfunction (difference of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score between day 1 and day 5 post-randomization).

The primary outcome is a hierarchical composite outcome that will be analyzed using the Win-Ratio test. The first level will be 28-day mortality. The "winner" will be the participant who survival; in case of a tie, the second level will be the difference in SOFA score between fifth and first day. The "winner" will be participant with the lowest difference.

Time frame
28 days post ED admission

Secondary outcomes

1

24-hour mortality

The occurrence of deaths in the first 24 hours post-ED admission and we will document and record the time of death in hours.

Time frame
First 24 hours post ED admission.
2

In-hospital mortality

The occurrence of deaths during the hospital stays post-ED admission, and we will document and record the time of death in days.

Time frame
28 days post ED admission
3

Multiple organ dysfunction incidence

Multiple organ dysfunction is a score ≥ 3 in two or more systems evaluated by SOFA score.

Time frame
1-day / 3-day / 5-day / 7-day post-ED admission
4

Evolution of Coagulopathy

We will evaluate the values of INR, fibrinogen, and MA-TEG during the admission and the first 24 hours post-ED admission.

Time frame
Admission - 3 hours - 6 hours - 24 hours post-ED admission
