ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate clinical and laboratory data, management and outcomes of pediatric trauma patients who initially received blood product transfusions.METHODS:
Between January 2011-January 2021, traumatic children who underwent blood product transfusions within 24 h of arrival at the emergency department were included. Demographics, clinical and laboratory data, Injury Severity Score (ISS), volume of transfused blood products and crystalloid boluses in 24 h were recorded. Massive transfusion (MT) was defined as transfusion of ≥40 mL/kg of all blood products in 24 h.RESULTS:
Among 32 cases, 8 (25.0 %) patients met the MT threshold criterion. Length of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay and mechanical ventilation (MV) were longer for patients who received MT although there was no difference for age, ISS, volume of crystalloid boluses, length of hospital stay, and 30-day mortality between those who received MT or not. Volume of crystalloid boluses was higher in patients who died than those who survived but the volume of blood products was similar for two groups. An APTT value of >37.5 s was identified as a predictor of 30-day mortality (OR = 48.000, 95 % CI 3.704-621.998, p 0.003).CONCLUSION:
Children who received MT had longer durations of MV and PICU stay than those who did not receive, but there was no significance for ISS, volume of crystalloid boluses, hospital stay, or mortality between two groups. Volume of crystalloid boluses was higher in patients who died than those who survived. An APTT value of >37.5 s can be used to predict 30-day mortality.Palavras-chave
