Most authorities believe that the greatest need for blood substitutes is in patients with unanticipated acute blood loss, and trauma is the most likely scenario. The blood substitutes reaching advanced clinical trials today are red blood cell (RBC) substitutes, derived from hemoglobin. The hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) tested currently in FDA Phase III clinical trials are polymerized hemoglobin solutions. The standard approach to restoring oxygen delivery in hemorrhagic shock has been crystalloid administration to expand intravascular volume, followed by stored RBCs for critical anemia. However, allogenic RBCs may have adverse immunoinflammatory effects that increase the risk of postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF). Phase II clinical trials, as well as in vitro and in vivo work, suggest that resuscitation with a HBOC-in lieu of stored RBCs-attenuates the systemic inflammatory response invoked in the pathogenesis of MOF. Specifically, an HBOC has been shown to obviate stored RBC provoked neutrophil priming, endothelial activation, and systemic release of interleukins 6, 8, and 10. Based on this background and work by others, we have initiated a multicenter prehospital trial in which severely injured patients with major blood loss (systemic blood pressure
