Types of fluid available
Novel fluids
Fluid Resuscitation: When to
Add Blood?
• Do not delay resuscitation while waiting for
blood to be grouped and arrive
• If estimated loss > 20% blood volume
consider blood transfusion.
• Whole blood is ideal
• Keep Hb between 7 and 9 gm/dL
• MTP-1:1:1
Points to Remember When
Giving Blood
• Always use youngest possible blood
• Use fully cross-matched blood
• Guard against hypothermia if giving large
volumes
• Do not transfuse large amount of packed
RBC’s alone
• Consider auto-transfusion e.g. blood
retrieved from peritoneal cavity
Fluid Resuscitation: How
Much?
• Depends on estimated volume loss,
clinical picture and CVP monitoring
• Rule of thumb: 3ml of crystalloid for every
ml of blood lost e.g. 70kg patient in Class
III shock has lost almost 1500 ml of blood
and needs 4500 ml of crystalloids for
volume replacement
Fluid Resuscitation: Rate
• Restore volume deficit in minutes to hours
not hours to days
• Start fluids stat and do not wait for lab
results or for blood
“Cardiac arrest due to low Hb is very unusual,
but cardiac arrest due to hypovolemia is
relatively common”
• In young patients transfuse at the most
rapid convenient rate
• In elderly give repeated small boluses

norepinephrine (NE) with intent of either raising MAP
or decreasing NE dosage

Future Of Resuscitation
The ideal blood substitute would do the following:

• Have prolonged storage capabilities
• Persist in the circulation
• Be cost-effective
Future Of Resuscitation

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Shock is defined as inadequate perfusion to maintain normal organ function. With prolonged anaerobic metabolism, tissue acidosis and O2 debt accumulate. Thus, the goal in the treatment of shock is restoration of adequate organ perfusion and tissue oxygenation. Resuscitation is complete when O2 debt is repaid, tissue acidosis is corrected, and aerobic metabolism is restored. Shock in a trauma patient or postoperative patient should be presumed to be due to hemorrhagic until proven otherwise. The clinical signs of shock may be evidenced by agitation, cool clammy extremities, tachycardia, weak or absent peripheral pulses, and hypotension.
  • #5 * Hypotension (due to hypovolaemia, perhaps followed by myocardial insufficiency) * Skin pallor (vasoconstriction due to catecholamine release) * Tachycardia (due to catecholamine release) * Confusion, aggression, drowsiness, and coma (due to cerebral hypoxia and acidosis) * Tachypnoea (due to hypoxia and acidosis) * General weakness (due to hypoxia and acidosis) * Thirst (due to hypovolaemia) * Reduced urine output (due to reduced perfusion).
  • #6 The diagnosis and treatment of shock must occur almost simultaneously. For most trauma patients, treatment is instituted as if the patient has hypovolemic shock, unless there is clear evidence that the shock state has a different cause. base deficit is associated with hypovolemia and impaired tissue perfusion, a base deficit does not accurately identify an elevated serum lactate concentration or shock. However, worsening base deficit is associated with increasing morbidity. Cultures as clinically appropriate before antimicrobial therapy if no significant delay (> 45 mins) in the start of antimicrobial(s) At least 2 sets of blood cultures (both aerobic and anaerobic bottles) be obtained before antimicrobial therapy with at least 1 drawn percutaneously and 1 drawn through each vascular access device, unless the device was recently (<48 hrs) inserted

  • #14 when to use: uncontrolled bleeding small bolus of 250ml crystalloid to maintain SBP-90mmhg, MAP-65mmhg, Controversy-TBI, target SPB - 110mmhg

  • #22 Further investigations showed that when the lactate in LR was replaced with other sources of energy that could be better used by the mitochondria, the inflammatory aspects were attenuated.

  • #31 decreased perfusion causing lactic acidosis, and consumptive coagulopathy. the resuscitation injury from the amount and type of fluid infused contributing to hypothermia if the fluid is not warmed and dilutional coagulopathy. The 50-mL ampule of sodium bicarbonate has 1 mEq/ mL—in essence, similar to giving a hypertonic concentration of sodium, which quickly draws fluid into the vascular space. Given its high sodium concentration, a 50-mL bolus of sodium bicarbonate has physiologic results similar to 325 mL of normal saline or 385 mL of LR. Essentially, it is like giving small doses of HTS. Sodium bicarbonate quickly increases CO2 levels by its conversion in the liver, so if the minute ventilation is not increased, respiratory acidosis can result.
  • #32 THAM (trometamol; tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane) is a biologically inert amino alcohol of low toxicity, which buffers carbon dioxide and acids in vitro and in vivo. decreased co2 production At 37 degrees C, the pK (the pH at which the weak conjugate acid or base in the solution is 50% ionised) of THAM is 7.8, making it a more effective buffer than bicarbonate in the physiological range of blood pH. accepting a proton, generating bicarbonate and decreasing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (paCO2)
  • #33 Hypothermia Coagulopathy due to reduced enzymatic activity Enhancing fibrinolytic activity Platelet aggregation dysfunction( inhibition of TXB2 inhibition factor IX and thromboplastin is most affected Induced hypothermia is vastly different from spontaneous hypothermia, which is typically from shock, inadequate tissue perfusion, or cold fluid infusion. It takes 1 kcal to raise the temperature of 1 liter of water by 1°C. However, we are not made of pure water, and blood has a specific heat coefficient of 0.87. Thus, the human body as a whole has a specific heat coefficient of 0.83. Therefore, it actually takes 62.25 kcal (75 kg × 0.83) to raise body temperature by 1° C.

  • #36 It works with tissue factor and activated platelets. with tissue injury, TF is released at high levels at the site of injury, as are activated platelets. Theoretically, because rFVIIa targets the site of tissue injury, it is ideal in surgery. Reduces need for massive blood transfusion For example, if a patient had blunt injuries to the spleen and a femur fracture and was infused rFVIIa, the drug would work predominantly at the site of injury but would not create a systemic state of throm- botic or embolic problems. PCC actually has many factors (factors II, VII, IX, X) in it, including variable amounts of factor VIIa,

Antifibrinolytic Time dependent action- survival advantage when given early CRASH 2 trial(Clinical Randomization of an Antifibrinolytic in Significant Haemorrhage) Placebo Vs 1gm/10min+1gm/hr -reduced death due to haemorrhage -No significant increase in clots - reduced 30 days hospital mortality Fibrinogen + platelet primary substitute for clot formation Reduced fibrinogen associated with increased mortality consider if Fibrinogen <1gm/L
  • #38 The definition of shock is inadequate tissue perfusion, Blood delivers oxygen by red cells, which contain hemoglobin. The simple calculation of oxygen delivery (DO2) is the cardiac output (CO) multiplied by the content of oxygen carried by a volume of blood (CaO2): The average hemoglobin carries 1.34 mL of oxygen per gram, depending on the arterial hemoglobin (Hgb) oxygen saturation (SaO2) of the red cell. In addition, a minor amount of oxygen is dissolved in plasma. This amount is calculated by multiplying the solubility constant 0.003 times the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2). The CaO2 of arterial blood is calculated as follows: In states of hemorrhage and resuscitation, the stroke volume is affected by infusion of fluids. As blood volume is decreased, it will ultimately affect stroke volume and is compensated by an increase in heart rate. Oxygen consumption (VO2) by cells is calculated by subtract- ing the content of oxygen in the venous system (CvO2) from delivered oxygen content in the arterial blood (CaO2):
  • #39 To optimize oxygen delivery, one of the most efficient ways, according to past calculations, was to add hemoglobin. If the hemoglobin level increased from 8.0 to 10 g/dL, by transfusing 2 units of blood, oxygen delivery would increase by 25%. Blood transfusions were part of the optimization process because they also increased wedge pressure and LVED volume and thus cardiac output, but it was rarely noted that transfusions placed patients on the flat part of the consumption curve.
  • #40 Vasopressors should only be initiated with/after adequate resuscitation is provided with crystalloids, colloids, and/or blood products. Vasopressors are not recommended in the initial stabilization of hemorrhagic shock. Permissive hypotension may be employed until bleeding is controlled in patients requiring emergent surgical intervention.
