Equivalent and resource‐saving: Whole blood versus component therapy for trauma resuscitation

Puntos clave

Patients receiving whole blood during resuscitation experienced longer survival, indicating effectiveness.
Massive transfusion requirements were significantly lower for patients treated with whole blood compared to component therapy.
Observational analysis highlights similarities in outcomes between both therapies in trauma resuscitation.
Conserving blood products through whole blood use may enhance surgical options for severely injured patients.

Resumen

This evaluation of our LTOWB program indicates many outcomes are similar with LTOWB and component therapy. However, LTOWB patients survived longer during initial resuscitation and had lower massive transfusion requirements. This represents an opportunity to conserve blood products and provides opportunities for surgical rescue in severely injured patients.
