SCCM Resource Library-Early Access to Plasma and Adjuncts in Hemorrhagic Shock: The Early Bird Gets the Worm

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Professor Jason Sperry discusses the importance of early access to plasma and adjuncts in hemorrhagic shock. He focuses on the need to intervene as close to the time of injury as possible, particularly in the pre-hospital environment, in order to improve outcomes and reduce mortality. He highlights the findings of various trials, including the PROPER trial which showed that a one-to-one-to-one ratio of red cells, plasma, and platelets in trauma resuscitation may reduce death from exsanguination. He also discusses the benefits of early tranexamic acid treatment and its potential harm if provided after three hours from arrival. Furthermore, he explores the potential game-changing role of freeze-dried plasma in austere environments where fresh frozen plasma is not readily available. He concludes by mentioning future studies and the importance of early intervention in trauma care.
