ABSTRACT: Background: The compensatory reserve index (CRI) is a noninvasive, continuous measure designed to detect intravascular volume loss. CRI is derived from the pulse oximetry waveform and reflects the proportion of physiologic reserve remaining before clinical hemodynamic decompensation. Methods: In this prospective, observational, prehospital cohort study, we measured CRI in injured patients transported by emergency medical services (EMS) to a single Level I trauma center. We determined whether the rolling average of CRI values over 60 s (CRI trend [CRI-T]) predicts in-hospital diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock, defined as blood product administration in the prehospital setting or within 4 h of hospital arrival. We hypothesized that lower CRI-T values would be associated with an increased likelihood of hemorrhagic shock and better predict hemorrhagic shock than prehospital vital signs. Results: Prehospital CRI was collected on 696 adult trauma patients, 21% of whom met our definition of hemorrhagic shock. The minimum CRI-T was 0.14 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.08–0.31) in those with hemorrhagic shock and 0.31 (IQR 0.15–0.50) in those without (P = <0.0001). The positive likelihood ratio of a CRI-T value <0.2 predicting hemorrhagic shock was 1.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55–2.22). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the minimum CRI-T predicting hemorrhagic shock was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.60–0.70), which outperformed initial prehospital HR (0.56; 95% CI, 0.50–0.62) but underperformed EMS systolic blood pressure and shock index (0.74; 95% CI, 0.70–0.79 and 0.72; 95% CI, 0.67–0.77, respectively). Conclusions: Low prehospital CRI-T predicts blood product transfusion by EMS or within 4 hours of hospital arrival but is less prognostic than EMS blood pressure or shock index. The evaluated version of CRI may be useful in an austere setting at identifying injured patients that require the most significant medical resources. CRI may be improved with noise filtering to attenuate the effects of vibration and patient movement.
