Hi Doc wonderful presentation, kindly help with how you administer blood in burns I heard there is a certain criteria but can't really find it. Thank you.
not that I have heard of but different hospitals follow different protocols but often what we use: 1. Hemodynamic instability: despite adequate fluid resuscitation Hypotension Tachycardia Tachypnea Cool extremities Decreased urine output 2. Laboratory findings: Hemoglobin: Level lower than normal, indicating anemia. Hematocrit: Level lower than normal, indicating a decreased proportion of red blood cells in the blood. Platelets: Level lower than normal, indicating a decreased number of blood clotting cells. Coagulation studies: Prolonged clotting times, indicating potential bleeding risk. 3. Clinical assessment: Visible bleeding: Active bleeding from wounds or other sites. Signs of shock: Cool, clammy skin, rapid breathing, and decreased urine output. Ongoing fluid resuscitation: Large volumes of fluids are being administered to replace lost fluids. 4. Burn severity: Total body surface area (TBSA) burned: Larger burns are more likely to require blood transfusion. Depth of burns: Deep burns (full-thickness burns) can cause significant blood loss. 5. Patient factors: Age: Older patients may be more susceptible to complications from blood transfusions. Medical history: Pre-existing medical conditions can influence the decision to transfuse. Medication use: Certain medications can affect blood clotting or other factors that influence the need for transfusion. 6. Institutional protocols: Blood transfusion guidelines: Specific criteria and protocols established by the healthcare facility.
