Abstract

Whole blood Hemorrhagic shock Transfusion Transfusion in trauma Trauma resuscitation Blood component therapy
Whole blood use in trauma has historically been limited to military use, but in recent years, there has been increasing data for use in civilian trauma. Emerging clinical data demonstrate an associated survival benefit, while some authors have also identified decreased use of an overall number of blood products and decreased complications. Use of whole blood is gradually moving toward becoming the standard of care in the hemorrhaging trauma patient.
