This episode continues our series on traumatic bleeding, focusing on the use of blood transfusions in prehospital settings. While blood transfusions are life-saving for haemorrhagic shock, evidence on prehospital blood use is mixed. Civilian and military studies show improved outcomes with prehospital blood, but the 2022 RePHILL trial found no superiority over sodium chloride for trauma-related hemorrhagic shock - https://www.thebottomline.org.uk/summaries/icm/rephill/. Despite this, haemostatic resuscitation has evolved to be the standard care for bleeding-induced shock in the UK. Currently, only physicians in HEMS systems can administer prehospital blood under UK paramedic guidelines, with paramedics limited to using sodium chloride.
The 2007 Manchester Arena bombing inquiry considered frontline ambulances carrying blood products but deemed it infeasible for clinical and logistical reasons. It recommended that specialist teams, such as the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART), carry freeze-dried plasma. Southwestern Ambulance Service HART has since trialed Lyoplas.
This episode discusses paramedic-administered blood products outside of HEMS systems, featuring Dr. Peter Chesney, Lt. Col. (retired) Randy Shaffer, and Dr. Chesney, a pediatric emergency physician and medical director in South Florida. Lt. Col. Shaffer, a former Emergency and Trauma nurse in the U.S. Army, established prehospital programs and walking blood banks during her deployments and has since worked on regional blood coalition initiatives. Dr. Chesney, a seasoned trauma surgeon, has received numerous accolades, including the Outstanding Clinical Research Achievement Award, and co-founded the international damage control resuscitation educational program.
