The study demonstrates improved in-hospital mortality with whole blood transfusions in non-trauma patients, suggesting safety for emergent use.
This study demonstrates that the use of WB in non-trauma patients is associated with a decreased 24 h in-hospital mortality with either operative or GI bleed when compared to nonoperative WB transfusion. Emergent severely hemorrhaging non-trauma patients can receive WB transfusions safely without any increased transfusion related adverse effects.
