Dear Marc- since the institution of Early Hemostatic Resuscitation at Charity, NO we counted only 2 cases were factor VII was used over the last 2 years, for which both patients end up dying. Based on our experience we decided to look further into this question. The below reference may be of help:
Good Luck

Subject: RE: Factor VII (7) clinical triggers for use in the trauma OR

All,

Does anybody have clinical triggers for the use of Factor VII (7) in the trauma OR? I am looking for any institution that has a guideline based on the literature for the triggers that they could share with me and anyone on this list server. I am looking to educate and provide economically sound advice on a very expensive medication. There have to be guidelines in trauma centers.

Anyone with a guideline or protocol regarding this would help as well as any salient pieces of advice in its use or non-use.

Thank you,

MRM
