Obstetric Hemorrhage continues to be the first cause of maternal morbidity and mortality around the world especially in middle to low income countriesThe blood components are high value resources; however, its use has been shown to be a risk factor of known complications. The aim of the study is to compare two algorithms of coagulation management in massive obstetric hemorrhage Methods A randomized prospective trial single center two arms study in patients with severe obstetric hemorrhage (PPH > 1000) 2 different transfusion protocols one guided by thromboelastometry and hemostatic drugs (protrombine complex concentrate and fibrinogen concentrate) and the second guided by standard coagulation test and hemocomponents. Sample is calculated to known variance, Analyses are intention-to-treat without imputation, with outcomes will be performed between groups using mixed-effects two level regression models. For binary outcomes, a logistic model will be used and results presented as adjusted odds ratios (ORs) alongside 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Count data will be analysed using Poisson multilevel or negative binomial models.
Primary Outcome Parameter:
Compare between the two protocols:
Number of allogeneic blood products transfused intra-op, within 24h after screening and in-hospital (RBC, Platelets and FFP; separate and overall)
Secondary Outcome Parameter:
Analysis of mortality, lenth of stay admission to the ICU, hysterectomy surgical reintervencion, Transfuse associated circulatory overload, Transfusion associated Acute lung injury, health associated infection will be measured as secondary outcome.
Introduction Obstetric Hemorrhage continues to be the first cause of maternal morbidity and mortality around the world especially in middle to low income countries. Copying trauma transfusion therapies now a days algorithms have been developing for 2.1.1 transfusion in massive obstetric hemorrhage. Blood products, play an essential role in the management of these patients, either during resuscitation or definitive treatment. Early transfusion, defined as that required in the first 24 hours after admission, it is required in about 5% that enters the hospital and about 3% comes to require massive transfusion. The blood components are high value resources; however, its use has been shown to be a risk factor for infectious transfusion related immunomodulation, and noninfectious complications (TRALI, TACO), development of systemic inflammatory response, multiple organ failure and death. A liberal transfusion policy can further introduce the risk of a patient who is already committed.
Patient blood management is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to optimizing the care of patients who might need transfusion. PBM encompasses all aspects of patient evaluation and clinical management surrounding the transfusion decision-making process, including the application of appropriate indications, as well as minimization of blood loss and optimization of patient red cell mass.
The aim of the study is to compare two algorithms of coagulation management in massive obstetric hemorrhage Methods A randomized prospective trial single center two arms study in patients with severe obstetric hemorrhage (PPH > 1000) 2 different transfusion protocols one guided by thromboelastometry and hemostatic drugs (protrombine complex concentrate and fibrinogen concentrate) and the second guided by standard coagulation test and hemocomponents.
Randomization for the patients will be made for every obstetric patient that enters the obstetric ward for attention of partum, and will be asked to sign consent, and the patients will be selected for each group of the study. Only does that have severe PPH will be entering the protocol with the algorithm for management previously selected. Demographic caracteristics will include Ethnicity, Body weight (KG), body height (CM) and BMI at hospital admission, Previous deliveries, Previous Caesarean section, Pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, History of obstetric hemorrhage, History of other kind of hemorrhage, Onset of labor (spontaneous, induced, no labor) Multiple gestation (singleton, twins, triplet) Reported cause of obstetric hemorrhage (placenta previa, placenta accreta, placenta abruption, retained placenta, uterine atony, trauma, surgical bleeding Mode of delivery (spontaneous vaginal, instrumental vaginal , elective Caesarean section, non-elective Caesarean section) Baseline Hb, Hct, Plt count, Fibrinogen (Clauss), PT/INR, PTT (at hospital admission) Estimated blood loss at study entry (ML).
Treatment algorithms are evidence based and the management of coagulopathy is based on treat first what kills fist (ATLS proposal)

The investigators calculated that 100 women will be needed to provide 80% power at the two-sided 5% level to detect a difference of total allogeneic units between groups. With a total of 100 patients 50 in each arm, with a first revision of results after recruiting 50 patients (25 in each arm). Analyses are intention-to-treat without imputation, with outcomes will be performed between groups using mixed-effects two level regression models. For binary outcomes, a logistic model will be used and results presented as adjusted odds ratios (ORs) alongside 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For continuous outcomes, a linear regression model will be performed and results presented as difference in adjusted means (arm A vs arm B) alongside 95% CIs. Count data will be analysed using Poisson multilevel or negative binomial models if over-dispersion is evident and presented as incident rate ratios (IRRs).

The algorithm guided by ROTEM plus the use of hemostatic drugs, are more efficient for the reversion of coagulopathy due to obstetric hemorrhage, than the standard treatment group, decrases the risk of development known complications, decreases the need of blood transfusions, decreases morbidity and mortality associated to PPH, length of stay, admissions to the intensive care unit and days of mechanical ventilation. Without a significant increase in costs.

devices generate output by transducing changes in the viscoelastic strength of a small sample of clotting blood (300 µl) to which a constant rotational force is applied. These point of care devices allow visual assessment of blood coagulation from clot formation, through propagation, and stabilization, until clot dissolution. Computer analysis of the output allows sophisticated clot formation/dissolution kinetics and clot strength data to be generated
