This talk for resuscitation in ACUTE surgical conditons NOT Sepsis, Obstruction, etc Trauma

Outline - Objectives • Historic • 1960-1995 • 1995-2013 • Current Changes
HISTORIC-misconceptions-over resuscitation Legacy definitions faulted Trauma
Tabacco Smoke Resuscitator
RESUSCITATION Historic Concept • “Get the patient in shape so that surgery will be tolerated” • This is an URBAN LEGEND (Abandon this concept) Trauma
What is RESUSCITATION ? Historic Concept Assure an airway Control Bleeding Raise the BP (? Towards normal or HIGHER) Trauma
FluidsHow Much (1963-1995) • 2 LARGE BORE IVs • 3 liter LR (or NS) in ambulance • 3 liter LR (or NS) in ER • “If a little bit is good a lot is better” • Massive transfusion protocols • End Points vague Trauma
Historic Approach • 20th Century Algorithm • Replace blood with crystalloid in 3:1 ratio • No concern for impact on bleeding
RESUSCITATION ? Historic How Accomplished ? Position Dressings & tourniquets Medications (vasoactive) Fluids, LOTS of fluids Lots of Complications Trauma
Fast FORWARD to the PAST Trauma
Examine the PATIENT Trauma
Recognize the patient in need of EMS or EC, or OR “Intervention” …and who does NOT need it Trauma
Less than 4% of ALL trauma patients actually need or benefit from “Resuscitation”(Whatever that is) REALLY Trauma
MEDICAL DISASTER RESPONSE NEW Classification
More than 90% of ALL trauma patients need NO “Resuscitation” Trauma
William Shakespeare Trauma
…..or not so new “ ..to stop his wounds, lest he do bleed to death.” Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act IV, Scene I 1597 Stop the Bleeding – Go to OR
Walter Cannon Trauma
Cannon – World War I "The injection of a fluid that will increase blood pressure has dangers in itself. Hemorrhage may not have occurred to a marked degree because the blood pressure has been too low to overcome the obstacle offered by a clot.“
Less Resuscitation is Best WWI lessons • Cannon – JAMA • “It is wasteful of time, resources and people to give fluid prior to operative control of hemorrhage.”
Office of the Surgeon General, U. S. Army WWII lessons • 2 reports • “BP should not be elevated and fluid not given till operative control of bleeding” • Do not pop the clot and loose precious blood
1954-1960CPRExternal Cardiac Compression(Elan, Safar, Kouwenhoven) Trauma
Fluid 3:1 Rule • DALLAS • Original studies • Shires, 1963 • Described three isotope model • Showed extracellular repletion with crystalloid essential for survival So? Does it work for trauma?
NotReally Trauma
The Three to One Rule • Original studies • Shires, 1963 • Described three isotope model • Showed extracellular repletion with crystalloid essential for survival
Fluid 3:1 Rule • Developed in “controlled hemorrhage” model • NEVER tested in people • Pre-dated EMS and Trauma Systems • Became “doctrine” without any class I, II, or III data
RESUSCITATION ? Historic Assessment A - ALL IVs FULL Flow B – BP higher than normal C – Chart Looks good NOW Call Surgeon Trauma
AMAZING-Patient’s surgery DELAYED until “resuscitated” in EMS, EC, or ICU HISTORIC This is a NO NO Trauma
Vietnam experience • Approach to hypotension was 2 large caliber IVs • Give crystalloid as rapidly as possible. And NEW Problems happened
Resuscitation CoursesATLSACLSPALS(12 others) Almost identical cirriculum Teach ABCs Encourage FLUID bolus Lots of Urban Legends Trauma
