Readiness:BLOOD BANK: MASSIVE TRANSFUSION PROTOCOL

1.In order to provide safe obstetric care institutions must:

• Have a functioning Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP)

• Have a functioning Emergency Release Protocol (a minimum of 4 units of O‐negative/uncrossmatched RBCs)*

• Have the ability to obtain 6 units PRBCs and 4 units FFP (compatible or type specific) for a bleeding patient

• Have a mechanism in place to obtain platelets and additional products in a timely fashion

Blood transfusion or crossmatching should not be used as a negative quality marker &is warranted for certain obstetric events.

STATEMENT ON THE USE OF BLOOD PRODUCTS

Blood transfusion or crossmatching should not be used as a negative quality marker and is warranted for certain obstetric events. In cases of severe obstetric hemorrhage, ≥4 units of blood products may be necessary to save the life of a maternity patient. 

Hospitals are encouraged to coordinate efforts with their laboratories, blood banks, and quality improvement departments to determine the appropriateness of transfusion and quantity of blood products necessary for these patients.

EXAMPLE11

Readiness:BLOOD BANK: MASSIVE TRANSFUSION PROTOCOL

Important protocol items to be determined at each institution are:

1. How to activate MTP

2. Blood bank number & location; notify as soon as possible

3. Emergency release protocol that both blood bank staff and  ordering parties (MD/RN/CNM) understand

4. How will blood be brought to L&D?

5. How will additional blood products/platelets be obtained?

6. Mechanism for obtaining serial labs, such as with each transfusion pack, to ensure transfusion targets achieved

Other Medications

• Tranexamic acid– Anti‐fibrinolytic drug

– Not standard therapy for PPH 

– Has been used in “severe PPH”

– 4gm in 50ml NS over 1 hour followed by 1g/hr for six hours

• Recombinant Factor VIIa– Usual use factor deficiencies

– Off label use for intractable PPH

– 40 or 60 mcg/kg bolus, can repeat once in 15‐30 minutes

– Risk for thromboses

Other Medications

• Fibrinogen concentrate (RiaSTAP) – Heat treated, fibrinogen powder from pooled plasma– Contains 900‐1300mg fibrinogen & 400‐700mg human albumin– Used if fibrinogen levels critically low (<100mg/dl)– Does not need thawing and can be used with cryo

• Prothrombin complex concentrate – 3 factor (II, IX, X) and four factor (II, VII, IX, X) prothrombin complex 

concentrates (PCC) – Possible alternative to FFP– Advantages:  reduced risk of volume overload, no need for thawing or 

blood group typing, and a reduced risk for transfusion‐related acute lung injury and allergic reactions. 

– Disadvantages: very high cost and increased risk of thrombosis.

CONCLUSION

• Early opportunities exist to assess risk, anticipate, and plan in advance of an obstetric hemorrhage.

• Multidisciplinary coordination and preparation, particularly with the blood bank, is critical in order to provide safe obstetrical care.

• A standardized approach to obstetric hemorrhage includes a clearly defined, staged checklist of appropriate actions to be taken in an emergency situation and can help to improve patient outcomes.

• Support for patient and family very important
