Damage-control resuscitation
increases successful non-operative
management rates and survival after
severe blunt liver injury
Binod Shrestha, MD, John B. Holcomb, MD,

The Journal of Trauma and Acute care surgery
Volume 78, Number 2
Background
The liver is the most common solid organ in adult
abdominal trauma
The management of blunt liver injury had changed to
non-operative management in lower grade since
1980s.
In high grade has still required operative management.
In high grade [IV,V,VI]patients always use massive
amount of fluid during initial resuscitation and didnt
have a good result due to multiple injury.
Patients who survive develop more complications, and
non-operative management tends to fail more than in
lower-grade injuries.
Background
Damage control Resuscitation
Crystalloid-based Blood product based and
permission hypotension enabling perfusion to vital
organ
Dilutional coagulopathy & cellular dysfunction
In OR, abdominal compartment syndrome, organ
failure, blood product use, hospital charges, fascial
closure time.
Background
Patients and Method
Study setting :
- Memorial Hermann Hospital
- UTHealths affliiated teaching hospital
Patient population :
- Trauma patients who sustained a blunt liver injury from
January 2005 December 2011
- Patient with a blunt liver injury of AAST-OIS Grade IV or
higher
- Severe or high grade liver injury -> AAST-OIS Grade IV, V, VI
- Exclusion -> Patients younger than 16 years who were
transferred from another institution, or who died in
emergency department (ED)
Study setting :
In-hospital mortality
Data collection :
- Standard demographic data
- Liver injury grading -> surgeons operative note or
radiologists report from abdominal CT scan
- Damaged control resuscitation (DCR)
Patients and Method
Pre-DCR
(2005-2008)
DCR
(2009-2011)
Management in OR/IR
Management in
non-operative group
Management in OR/IR
Management in
non-operative group
Patients and Method
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Definitions :
- Patients went to the OR -> liver procedure
- Patients went to the IR suite -> therapeutic angioembolization of
hepatic vessels
- Patients in non-operative group :
1) Didnt go to the OR or IR.
2) Went to the OR but not for a hepatic procedure.
3) Went to the IR suite for a diagnostic procedure, but not for
angioembolization of hepatic vessels.
- Mortality -> death within the initial hospital stay of any cause
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Definitions (continue) :
- Morbidity :
1) Infectious complications (pneumonia, intra-abdominal abscess
and sepsis)
2) Liver-related complications (hepatic rebleeding, liver failure and
biliary complication)
3) Other complications (bleeding from other sites other than liver,
ACS, DVT, PE)
- Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) -> abdominal hypertension
with organ dysfunction necessitating operative intervention and
documentation by the trauma attending physician
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Definitions (continue) :
- Hepatic rebleeding -> Any bleeding from the liver, occurring after
initial management, necessitating unplanned surgical or radiological
intervention
- Biliary complications -> bile leakage, bile peritonitis, biloma, biliary
fistula and any gall bladder-related events requiring endoscopic or
surgical intervention documented by the trauma attending physician
- PE and DVT -> documented after confirmation by CT chest and limb
U/S
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Definitions (continue) :
- Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) :
1) T > 38oC or < 36oC
2) HR > 90 bpm
3) RR > 20 /min or PaCO2 < 32 mmHg
4) WBC count > 12,000/mL or < 4,000/mL or band form > 10%
- Infectious complications -> SIRS + clinical + culture positive
- Intra-abdominal abscess -> hepatic abscess and abscess from a
nonhepatic source after confirmation from radiologic or surgical
evidence
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Definitions (continue) :
- Ventilator free days
= days alive and free from the ventilator
= 30 total ventilator days
- For those who died before 30 days and had no days free of
ventilator, this was recorded as 0.
- ICU free days
= days alive and not admitted to the ICU
= 30 total ICU days
- Hospital free days
= days alive and not admitted to the hospital
= 30 hospital days
Statistical analysis :
- Retrospective study
- Outcomes were compared by univariate and
multivariate analysis.
Patients and Method
Patients and Method
The full implementation of DCR in 2009, a substantial decrease in the volumes of
crystalloid and blood products administered during the first 24 hours of hospital
admission to patients with severe liver injuries was observed.
- There was no significant difference in the volume of crystalloid administered in
patients who did not receive blood products.
- In patients who received blood products, the patients in the pre-DCR group
received significantly more blood products and crystalloid volume than the
patients in the DCR group during the first 24 hours of hospital admission
When evaluating only the patients who did not receive blood products, there
was no difference in survival between pre-DCR
and DCR groups. The impact on survival seemed to be only among those patients
who received blood products
- There was significant improvement in ventilator-free days and ICU-free days in
the DCR group.
- There was no significant difference in the number of patients experiencing
complications between groups.
- Forward stepwise regression was used and generated the core variables for
analysis (ISS, 24-hour RBC, 24-hour plasma, and 24-hour crystalloid volumes
and ED GCS). The model demonstrated an R-squared of 0.6842 and adjusted R-
squared of 0.6404.
- A multiple logistic regression model was generated using these five variables
and adding DCR and non-operative
management.
1.The DCR cohort had an increase in successful nonoperative
management (from 54% to 74%, p < 0.01)
2.The DCR cohort had a reduction in initial 24-hour packed red
blood cell (median, from 13 U to 6.5 U; p < 0.01), plasma
(median, from 13 U to 8 U; p < 0.01), and crystalloid (median, from
5,800 mL to 4,100 mL; p < 0.01) administration
3.The DCR treatment was associated with improved survival, from
73% to 94% (p < 0.01).
Conclusion
DCR Pre-DCR
- increased survival rate in patient
received any blood products
- successful non-operative
management rate
- decreased blood product and
crystalloid use
- decreased intra-abdominal sepsis
rate
- decreased day in ICU
- Increased ventilator-free days
- No difference in hepatic-related, infectious, or thromboembolic
complications
Conclusion
The largest single-center series to date examining
severe blunt liver injuries
DCR
- increased survival rate in patient received any blood
products
- successful non-operative management rate
- decreased blood product and crystalloid use
- decreased intra-abdominal sepsis rate
- decreased day in ICU
- Increased ventilator-free days
