Introduction

Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a major preventable cause of death in trauma patients. Prehospital control of bleeding offers great potential to improve survival rates but still remains challenging. Often it comes that treatment of TIC at the Emergency Department is too late. Using FFP in pre-hospital settings is often impractical.

The Octapharma symposium "Management of Major Hemorrhage - From Pre-hospital to ICU" will highlight the importance of managing the whole process of bleeding management, from pre-hospital to ICU, to reduce the mortality rate. Discussing the remaining therapeutic gaps in TIC and potential solutions by implementing goal-directed VHA, algorithm-based treatment with factor concentrates to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements in order to reach a better clinical outcome. The conference will also address the possible role of lyophilized plasma in the prehospital resuscitation of TIC patients and the new standards on bleeding management.
