Improvements in Early Mortality and Coagulopathy are Sustained Better in Patients With Blunt Trauma After Institution of a Massive Transfusion Protocol in a Civilian Level I Trauma Center

Abstract

In the civilian setting, aggressive use of FFP and platelets drastically reduces 24-hour mortality and early coagulopathy in patients with trauma. Reduction in 30 day mortality was only seen after blunt trauma in this small subset.
