Hemorrhage Following Injury
Introduction• Over 25% of injured patients present with
coagulopathy upon arrival to trauma center
• Paying attention to or preventing coagulopathy early post injury improves outcome
• Does prehospital plasma improve outcomes?
PAMPer
• Multi-center, prospective, randomized, open label, interventional trial over 4 years focusing on patients with hemorrhagic shock who are transported via air medical transport to definitive care.
AIMs• Primary Aim #1: Determine whether prehospital infusion of AB
plasma (2 units) as compared to standard air medical care results in a reduction in 30 day mortality
• Secondary Aim #1: Lower 24 hour blood transfusion volume, lower incidence of MOF, NI, ALI and TRALI.
• Secondary Aim #2: Reduction of blood component transfusion and resuscitation requirements over the first 24 hours post-injury.
• Secondary Aim #3: Improved coagulation measurements (INR, PT/PTT) and TEG parameters.
• Secondary Aim #4: Lower levels of early IL-6 cytokine expression, reduced thrombomodulin and increased protein C levels.

PAMPer Trial
Randomization• Specific air bases at each participating site will be defined
before initiation of the trial
• AB (universal donor) thawed plasma will be carried in a cooler on the air medical transport helicopters for each flight (shelf life 5 days) for one month periods
• Randomized to plasma or control each month
• Unused thawed plasma will be recycled on day 4 by most study sites via courier or at participating blood banks
• Each respective air base will either have plasma on board for the month or be considered a control helicopter for the month with only dummy plasma bags
Inclusion Criteria
#1. Transporting from scene or referral hospital to PAMPer site
#2. Systolic blood pressure below 90mmHg and tachycardia > 108 BPM at scene, at the outside hospital with transport team present or during helicopter transport
#3. Systolic blood pressure below 70mmHg at scene or at outside hospital with transport team present or during helicopter transport
AND
OR
Requires #1 and #2 or #3
Intervention
During plasma months:
• 2 units of AB+ thawed plasma will be initiated en route during air medical transport after inclusion/exclusion criteria are met
• Full intervention (2 units) will be given with continuation of infusion following arrival if not completed

Hemorrhage Following Injury
Introduction
• A recent single non-U.S. study suggests giving Tranexamic Acid (TXA) lowers mortality if given early after arrival to the hospital in patients at risk for bleeding post-injury
• TXA is an Anti-fibrinolytic and Hyperfibrinolysis has been shown to be a risk factor for poor outcome and coagulopathy post-injury
• Whether TXA safely lowers mortality in the US and how TXA lowers mortality post-injury if it does, remains unknown
• Does prehospital TXA improve outcomes and by what mechanism?
STAAMP
• Multi-center, prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled interventional trial over 3 years focusing on patients with concern for bleeding who are transported via air medical transport to definitive care.
STAAMP
• Primary Aim#1: Determine whether prehospital tranexamic acid as compared to placebo results in a lower incidence of 30 day mortality
• Secondary Aim#1: Lowers 24 hr motality, ALI, MOF, NI, early resuscitation and transfusion requirements.
• Secondary Aim#2: Reduces hyperfibrinolysis, lowers the incidence of acute traumatic coagulopathy and improves early markers of coagulopathy.
• Secondary Aim#3: To explore novel mechanisms by which prehospital TXA alters the inflammatory response independent of effects on hyperfibrinolysis; including analysis of platelet and leukocyte activation, plasmin levels and plasmin mediated complement activation and the early cytokine response to trauma.
• Secondary Aim#4: Determine whether different dosing regimens of TXA upon arrival in the hospital are associated with improvements in hyperfibrinolysis, coagulopathy, clinical outcomes and the early inflammatory response.
Randomization• Specific air bases at each participating site will be
defined before initiation of the trial
• Predefined randomization in double blinded fashion will be prepared by pharmacy at the University Pittsburgh (IDS)
• 10cc of either TXA or sterile placebo will be mixed in provided 100cc saline bag
• Only TXA Intervention/Dose # will need to be recorded and provided to hospital research staff
Inclusion Criteria
#1. Transporting from scene or referral hospital to STAAMP site within 2 hours of injury at risk of bleeding
#2. Systolic blood pressure below 90mmHg:• i. At scene of injury or during air medical transport• ii. Documented at referring hospital prior to air
medical transport arrival
#3. Tachycardia > 110 beats per minute:i. At scene of injury or during air medical transport
• ii. Documented at referring hospital prior to air medical transport arrival
AND
OR
Requires #1 and #2 or #3
InterventionTranexamic Acid (TXA):
Prehospital Intervention• 1 gm of TXA or placebo, in double blinded fashion,
will be initiated en route during air medical transport after inclusion/exclusion criteria are met
Sample SizePower-30 Day Mortality
