In patients with massive haemorhage with a loss of more than 40% of blood volume - rapid transfusions are given with colloids, crystalloids and packed RBCs.
This causes coagulopathy by diluting the a clotting factors.
Hence, prophylactic infusion of platelets and fresh frozen plasma is done.
Initially, it was given in a ratio of 1:1:4
One part platelet & ffp transfusion to every 4 bags of blood.
It has been renewed now to 1:1:1 ratio
It has caused significant reduction in mortality 40% versus 60%
Thank you!
40% blood loss translates to grade 4 hemorrhagic shock or grade 1 degree of urgency per the urgency grid for obstetric hemorrhage. I removed the grading in the initial part of the post to avoid confusion as different grades mean different severity of shock based on the scale used.
