Accuracy of 6.5" Beaded Cable Tie, 10" Paracord, and Operator Gestalt in Prehospital Whole Blood Collection Techniques in Filling Donor Blood Bags to Target Volume
BC performed poorly on all assessments and should be avoided. OG was generally superior to BC and PC, but was still suboptimal, with ~30% incorrect fills study-wide. Present findings demonstrate the need for better methods for determining donor blood bag fill volume to preserve the life of the wounded warfighter in WBB scenarios.
