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

Ten-Year Analysis of Transfusion in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom: Increased Plasma and Platelet Use Correlates with Improved Survival

TL;DR: A 10-year evaluation of the Joint Theater Trauma Registry database reports the military’s experience with resuscitation and coagulopathy, evaluates the effect of increased plasma and platelet (PLT)–to-red blood cell ratios, and analyzes other recent changes in practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of FFP:RBC ratio on morbidity and mortality in trauma patients based on transfusion prediction score

TL;DR: This study analyses those that are at risk to receive a massive transfusion, based on the trauma‐associated severe haemorrhage (TASH) score, to objectively determine which patients after severe trauma would benefit or have increased complications by the use of a high FFP:RBC ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole Blood Transfusion.

TL;DR: Low titer group O whole blood can be considered the standard of care in resuscitation of major hemorrhage, and can be safely transfused as a universal blood product to patients of unknown blood group, facilitating rapid treatment of exsanguinating patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clearly defining pediatric massive transfusion: cutting through the fog and friction with combat data.

TL;DR: Based on this large cohort of transfused combat-injured pediatric patients, a threshold of 40 mL/kg of all blood products given at any time in the first 24 hours reliably identifies critically injured children at high risk for early and in-hospital death.
