Neonatal trauma resuscitation: Successful use of low‐titer O+ whole blood in a 4‐day‐old infant with hemorrhagic shock

This case underscores the challenges of neonatal trauma resuscitation, including vascular access and the use of LTOWB+. LTOWB+ proved lifesaving, enabling rapid correction of acidosis and an improved outcome. Although concerns persist regarding LTOWB+ administration, the immediate survival benefits outweigh the risks, supported by evidence demonstrating its efficacy and safety. This case highlights the need for adaptability and a systematic approach to managing complex neonatal trauma scenarios. We argue that LTOWB+ is poised to become a pillar of pediatric resuscitation, providing a lifesaving, efficient, and safe option even in the newborn.

Abstract

This case underscores the challenges of neonatal trauma resuscitation, including vascular access and the use of LTOWB+. LTOWB+ proved lifesaving, enabling rapid correction of acidosis and an improved outcome. Although concerns persist regarding LTOWB+ administration, the immediate survival benefits outweigh the risks, supported by evidence demonstrating its efficacy and safety. This case highlights the need for adaptability and a systematic approach to managing complex neonatal trauma scenarios. We argue that LTOWB+ is poised to become a pillar of pediatric resuscitation, providing a lifesaving, efficient, and safe option even in the newborn.
