Investigating the association between initial blood product transfusion with a higher plasma-to-red blood cell ratio and mortality in adults with severe bleeding following trauma
This study demonstrates that a high FFP:PRBC ratio (>1:1.5) is associated with reduced 24-hour and 30-day mortality rates among trauma patients with massive hemorrhage. However, the need for mechanical ventilation in some high-ratio patients suggests potential trade-offs that warrant further investigation. Additional research is needed to explore the potential adverse effects of high FFP:PRBC ratios and to optimize transfusion strategies in trauma care.
