Abstract

IntroductionDifferent transfusion ratio concepts of packed red blood cells (pRBCs), fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and platelets (PLTs) have been implemented in trauma care, but the optimal ratios are still discussed. In this study the hemostatic potential of two predefined ratios was assessed by using an in vitro thrombelastometric approach. Furthermore, age effects of reconstituted blood were analyzed.MethodsWhole blood (WB) of voluntary donors was separated into pRBCs, FFP and PLTs and reconstituted into the ratios 1:1:1 and 3:1:1 at day 1, 4, 14, and 24. Standard blood count, electrolytes and coagulation proteins were quantified. The functional coagulation in ratio- and age-specific groups was evaluated using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM).ResultsSeveral coagulation factors reduced significantly in the 3:1:1 ratio and were consistent with increased INR, decelerated clot formation times and A10 (amplitude 10 minutes after clotting time (CT)), flattened ¿-angle during the EXTEM and diminished MCF for distinct time points during the INTEM, FIBTEM and APTEM assays. With rising age of pRBCs the pH, sodium and potassium reached non-physiological levels.ConclusionUnder standardized in vitro conditions the higher amount of pRBCs in the 3:1:1 ratio diluted coagulation factors significantly on the expense of its functional coagulation capacity as revealed by ROTEM results. Thus, the coagulation functionality of the 1:1:1 ratio predominated.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 September 2019.
All research outputs
#2,936,800
of 22,783,848 outputs
Outputs from Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
#309
of 1,255 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#43,405
of 352,074 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
#3
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,783,848 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,255 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,074 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
