摘要

Uncontrolled hemorrhage is responsible for over 50% of all trauma-related deaths within the first 48 hours after admission. Clinical observations together with recent research resulted in an appreciation of the central role of coagulopathy in acute trauma care. A synopsis is presented of different retrospective analyses based upon datasets from severe multiply injured patients derived from the TR-DGU database (Trauma Registry of the Deutsche Gesellschaft for Unfallchirurgie (DGU)/German Society of Trauma Surgery) with respect to frequency, risk stratification and therapeutic options of acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC). The synopsis of different analyses based upon the datasets from severe multiply injured patients derived from the TR-DGU database and development/validation of a scoring system (TASH-score = Trauma Associated Severe Hemorrhage) that allows an early and reliable estimation for the probability of massive transfusion as a surrogate for life-threatening hemorrhage after severe multiple injuries. The high frequency of ATC upon emergency room admission is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in multiply injured patients. The TASH-score is recognized as an easy-to-calculate and valid scoring system to predict the individual's probability for massive transfusion and thus ongoing life-threatening hemorrhage at a very early stage after severe multiple injuries. An early aggressive management of ATC including a more balanced administration of blood products to improve outcome is advocated.
