The risk of Severe DIAR in Trauma Patients given HSD Eileen M. Bulger, MD Associate Professor of Surgery Co-PI Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium
Hypertonic Saline Dextran • 7.5% saline/6% dextran-70, 250cc given as initial resuscitation fluid for patients with hypovolemic shock • Approved in 14 European countries, Rescueflow, Biophausia Inc, Sweden • 8 previous clinical trials,meta-analysis demonstrates improved survival OR 1.47 and 2 fold increase in survival for patients with traumatic brain injury1,2
Advantages of HSD Resuscitation3 • More rapid restoration of perfusion with small volume • Improved cerebral perfusion while decreasing intracranial pressure • May alter the response of the immune system after injury: • Decrease the risk of developing lung injury (ARDS) by inhibiting neutrophil and monocyte activation • Reduce nosocomial infection by enhanced T cell function
Current & Proposed Trials • Current trial at University of Washington • Phase 2 trial, primary endpoint ARDS • Current enrollment 205pts, now on clinical hold • Proposed ROC trial • Phase 3 trial, n=3018 • Hypovolemic shock- 28 day survival • Traumatic Brain Injury- Neurologic outcome
Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium • NIH • NHLBI • NINDS • CIHR • US DOD • Canadian DOD
Limitations of Prior reports of DIAR • Elective surgery, older population (mean age 60yrs), high rate w/ epidural or spinal anaesthesia • Relies on comparison to historical controls from 1970-1979 • No randomized controlled trial data available
Risk of Severe DIAR in Trauma patients • Experience with HSD • 900 pts in clinical trials, 20,100pts treated in Europe • NO REPORTS OF DIAR • 0/21000, < 5/100,000 • Estimates based on Hypertonic hetastarch experience: 4-8/100,0004.5
Why Trauma patients may be protected? • High circulating levels of catecholamines • Rapid infusion of the solution may result in an excess of antigen in the blood and thus prevent the formation of immune complexes.
Limitations of Promit • Side effects: 1-57/100,0009,10 • Skin reactions • Bradycardia +/- hypotension • Hypotension • HSD most effective as first fluid given • Premedication may delay medic from other critical interventions • Feasibility in prehospital or battlefield setting • Immuno-modulatory effects of Promit are unknown. May interfere with the effectiveness of HSD
Summary • Trauma patients receiving HSD at much lower risk of severe DIAR than previous reports. • To date no reports of DIAR with 21,000 patients receiving HSD. • There is no statistical difference between the estimated risk of severe DIAR for trauma patients receiving HSD and the projected risk with Promit pre-treatment for dextran infusion. • We ask the committee to consider whether Promit premedication should be required in this circumstance.
