Key Points

The study aims to assess the correlation between geo-mapping massive transfusion protocol (MTP) data and trauma occurrences to improve prehospital blood management.
Analyzed massive transfusion protocol data in hospitals.
Mapped MTP activations to trauma locations.
Identified areas with high demand for prehospital blood management.
Geo-mapping of MTP data aligned strongly with known trauma sites.
Supports using MTP activation as a marker for prehospital blood management needs.
Aids cities in planning equitable resource distribution.

Abstract

Geo-mapping MTP data strongly correlated with known traumas, supporting MTP activation as a surrogate marker for PHWB need. This offers a novel method for cities to plan PHWB programs by determining high need zones and ensuring equitable and cost-effective distribution of scarce resources.
