BPLS HGE

 In severe uncontrolled bleeding the approach appears to reflect what we do in adult trauma care.
  • a.     Give minimal blood products to maintain perfusion until surgical (or presumably interventional radiology?) intervention
  • b.     10ml/Kg boluses of blood products and monitor response closely.
  • c.      Optimal ratios of blood products (presumably 1:1:1) to prevent coagulopathy.
  • d.     Use Tranexamic Acid (15mg/Kg is the initial dose).TXA in children guideline
  • e.     Use pelvic splints/tourniquets where indicated.
