Abstract
in English, French

Transfusion plays a major role in the management of hemorrhagic shock where every minute counts. A pre-hospital transfusion protocol is established in the medical vehicle within the emergency department of CHR hospital Liège. It is based on predefined clinical and biological severity criteria which allow us to start a massive transfusion protocol as early as possible and thus to optimize its effect during traumatic hemorrhagic shock.

La transfusion occupe une place majeure dans la prise en charge du choc hémorragique où chaque minute compte. Un protocole de transfusion préhospitalière est instauré via le véhicule SMUR (Service Mobile d’Urgence-Réanimation) au sein du service des urgences du CHR de Liège. Il est basé sur des critères de gravité cliniques et biologiques prédéfinis qui permettent de débuter, le plus précocement possible, un protocole de transfusion massive et, ainsi, d’optimaliser son effet lors de choc hémorragique traumatique.
