Journal ArticleDOI

Transfusion of plasma, platelets, and red blood cells in a 1: 1:1 vs a 1:1:2 ratio and mortality in patients with severe trauma: The PROPPR randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness and safety of transfusing patients with severe trauma and major bleeding using plasma, platelets, and red blood cells in a 1:1:1 ratio compared with a 1 :1:2 ratio was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Death on the battlefield (2001-2011): Implications for the future of combat casualty care

TL;DR: To significantly impact the outcome of combat casualties with PS injury, strategies must be developed to mitigate hemorrhage and optimize airway management or reduce the time interval between the battlefield point of injury and surgical intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ratio of Blood Products Transfused Affects Mortality in Patients Receiving Massive Transfusions at a Combat Support Hospital

TL;DR: In patients with combat-related trauma requiring massive transfusion, a high 1:1.4 plasma to RBC ratio is independently associated with improved survival to hospital discharge, primarily by decreasing death from hemorrhage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of hemorrhage on trauma outcome: an overview of epidemiology, clinical presentations, and therapeutic considerations.

TL;DR: Improvements in early hemorrhage control and resuscitation and the prevention and aggressive treatment of coagulopathy appear to have the greatest potential to improve outcomes in severely injured trauma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Damage control resuscitation: Directly addressing the early coagulopathy of trauma

TL;DR: Reports of lactated Ringer s solution and normal saline increasing reperfusion injury and leukocyte adhesion lead one to conclude that the standard crystalloid based resuscitation guidelines in pre hospital trauma life support (PHTLS) and advanced traumaLife support (ATLS) may worsen the presenting acidosis and coagulopathy in severely injured trauma patients, and possibly increase ARDS, SIRS, and MOF.
