Résumé
Whole blood (WB) is becoming the preferred product for the resuscitation of hemorrhaging trauma patients. However, there is a lack of data on the optimum timing of receiving WB. We aimed to assess the effect of time to WB transfusion on the outcomes of trauma patients. The American College of Surgeons TQIP 2017 to 2019 database was analyzed. Adult trauma patients who received at least 1 unit of WB within the first 2 hours of admission were included. Patients were stratified by time to first unit of WB transfusion (first 30 minutes, second 30 minutes, and second hour). Primary outcomes were 24-hour and in-hospital mortality, adjusting for potential confounders. A total of 1,952 patients were identified. Mean age and systolic blood pressure were 42 ± 18 years and 101 ± 35 mmHg, respectively. Median Injury Severity Score was 17 [10 to 26], and all groups had comparable injury severities (p = 0.27). Overall, 24-hour and in-hospital mortality rates were 14% and 19%, respectively. Transfusion of WB after 30 minutes was progressively associated with increased adjusted odds of 24-hour mortality (second 30 minutes: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.07, p = 0.015; second hour: aOR 2.39, p = 0.010) and in-hospital mortality (second 30 minutes: aOR 1.79, p = 0.025; second hour: aOR 1.98, p = 0.018). On subanalysis of patients with an admission shock index >1, every 30-minute delay in WB transfusion was associated with higher odds of 24-hour (aOR 1.23, p = 0.019) and in-hospital (aOR 1.18, p = 0.033) mortality. Every minute delay in WB transfusion is associated with a 2% increase in odds of 24-hour and in-hospital mortality among hemorrhaging trauma patients. WB should be readily available and easily accessible in the trauma bay for the early resuscitation of hemorrhaging patients.

BACKGROUND
Whole blood (WB) is becoming the preferred product for the resuscitation of hemorrhaging trauma patients. However, there is a lack of data on the optimum timing of receiving WB. We aimed to assess the effect of time to WB transfusion on the outcomes of trauma patients.
STUDY DESIGN
The American College of Surgeons TQIP 2017 to 2019 database was analyzed. Adult trauma patients who received at least 1 unit of WB within the first 2 hours of admission were included. Patients were stratified by time to first unit of WB transfusion (first 30 minutes, second 30 minutes, and second hour). Primary outcomes were 24-hour and in-hospital mortality, adjusting for potential confounders.
RESULTS
A total of 1,952 patients were identified. Mean age and systolic blood pressure were 42 ± 18 years and 101 ± 35 mmHg, respectively. Median Injury Severity Score was 17 [10 to 26], and all groups had comparable injury severities (p = 0.27). Overall, 24-hour and in-hospital mortality rates were 14% and 19%, respectively. Transfusion of WB after 30 minutes was progressively associated with increased adjusted odds of 24-hour mortality (second 30 minutes: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.07, p = 0.015; second hour: aOR 2.39, p = 0.010) and in-hospital mortality (second 30 minutes: aOR 1.79, p = 0.025; second hour: aOR 1.98, p = 0.018). On subanalysis of patients with an admission shock index >1, every 30-minute delay in WB transfusion was associated with higher odds of 24-hour (aOR 1.23, p = 0.019) and in-hospital (aOR 1.18, p = 0.033) mortality.
CONCLUSIONS
Every minute delay in WB transfusion is associated with a 2% increase in odds of 24-hour and in-hospital mortality among hemorrhaging trauma patients. WB should be readily available and easily accessible in the trauma bay for the early resuscitation of hemorrhaging patients.
