Nationwide trends in prehospital blood product use after injury 2020–2023
Altogether, 1.2 million hemodynamically unstable trauma patients were potentially eligible for prehospital blood transfusion after injury during 2020-2023, yet less than 1% received this intervention. These data underscore the need to evaluate and resolve barriers to wider use of prehospital blood transfusions.
