12 My Afghanistan Experience Clinical Practice Guidelines Based on combat data since 2001 Effects at the FST Only O-type PRBCs and Type-specific FFP available Fresh whole blood transfusions in mass transfusion scenario (>10 products expected need) Only American blood except in extremis Keep these in mind as we go on

20 My Afghanistan Experience Our Challenges and Limitations Blood storage Had to monitor refrigerators Manual q4 hour checks, 24/7/365 Blood warming Blood delivery to our location (regular and emergent delivery) Blood disposal after expiration German vs American blood products
21 Our Plasma Thawing Tool
22 My Afghanistan Experience Our Challenges and Limitations Blood disposal after expiration Burn-pit Regularly destroyed 5-10 units unused PRBCs FRUSTRATING!?! Delivery to our location German products Freeze-dried plasma German PRBC from Mazar-e-Sharif Emergency deliveries Whole Blood Drives (physician approval needed)
23 Blood Delivery Route Role III (German) & US FST Role II (German) Pol-e- Khumri Role III (US), TFME, 62nd Orgun-E Previous location (Qalat)
24 My Afghanistan Experience Cases where Whole Blood may have helped Uncontrollable bleeding from chest wound GSW to R. lateral chest Holes in major vessels sealed Nearly exhausted blood products Leakage from smaller vessels along spine Expired upon arrival to next higher level of care Should we have evacuated?
25 My Afghanistan Experience Cases where Whole Blood may have helped Uncontrollable bleeding from liver laceration Non-combat related MVC Incoming 2 combat casualties Nearly exhausted blood products Had to triage to prepare for combat related soldiers coming Expired while preparing patients with combat injuries for surgery
26 Conclusion Blood products in combat are surprisingly available When shortages exist, we have work arounds Military healthcare pushes the envelope of policy at times, along the way discovering new and exciting ways to treat patients
