Blood shortages and utilization stewardship have motivated the trauma community to evaluate futility cutoffs during massive transfusions (MTs). Recent single-center studies have confirmed meaningful survival in ultra-MT (≥20 U) and super-MT (≥50 U), while others advocate for earlier futility cut points. We sought to evaluate whether transfusion volume and intensity cut points could predict 100% mortality in a multicenter analysis.
A prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study was performed at seven trauma centers. Injured patients at risk for MT who required both blood transfusion and hemorrhage control procedures were enrolled. Four-hour volumes and intensities (average units per hour) were evaluated. Primary outcome of interest was 28-day mortality.
A total of 1,047 patients met the study inclusion with an overall mortality rate of 17% (n = 176). The median age was 35 years, 80% were male, and 62% had a penetrating mechanism, with an Injury Severity Score of 22. At 4 hours, transfusion volumes below 110 U and transfusion intensity averaging up to 21 U/h did not demonstrate futility. Total transfusion volume above 110 U was associated with 100% mortality (n = 9). Multivariable analysis noted only nonmodifiable risk factors as predictors of increased mortality (blunt mechanism, shock index).
In this study from seven Level 1 trauma centers, survival was observed at transfusion volumes up to 110 U and at transfusion velocities up to 21 U/h during the first 4 hours of resuscitation. Data are limited on transfusion volumes above 110 U in the first 4 hours. Survival can be observed in both the ultra and super-MT settings.

血液短缺和合理用血管理促使创伤学界评估大量输血(MT)期间的无效临界点。近期的单中心研究证实,在超大量输血(≥20单位)和超大输血(≥50单位)情况下仍有显著的生存情况,而其他研究则主张更早的无效临界点。我们试图在多中心分析中评估输血量和输血强度临界点是否能预测100%的死亡率。
在七个创伤中心进行了一项前瞻性、多中心、观察性队列研究。纳入有MT风险且需要输血和出血控制程序的受伤患者。评估4小时的输血量和输血强度(每小时平均单位数)。主要关注的结局是28天死亡率。
共有1047例患者符合研究纳入标准,总死亡率为17%(n = 176)。中位年龄为35岁,80%为男性,62%为穿透性损伤机制,损伤严重程度评分为22分。在4小时时,输血量低于110单位且平均输血强度高达21单位/小时并未显示为无效。总输血量超过110单位与100%的死亡率相关(n = 9)。多变量分析指出,只有不可改变的风险因素是死亡率增加的预测因素(钝性损伤机制、休克指数)。
在这项来自七个一级创伤中心的研究中,在复苏的前4小时内,输血量高达110单位和输血速度高达21单位/小时时观察到了生存情况。关于前4小时内输血量超过110单位的数据有限。在超大量输血和超大输血情况下均可观察到生存情况。
