Whole Blood Versus Blood Components in Prehospital Care
In this retrospective observational study of 9-1-1 scene response patients with traumatic or non-traumatic hemorrhage, differences between shock index and heart rate for patients receiving whole blood or blood components were of questionable clinical significance, and adjusted mortality did not significantly differ for the two groups. There were no instances of prehospital anaphylaxis or ED transfusion reactions. Both transfusion strategies appear equally effective and safe.
