Massive transfusion protocols: the role of aggressive resuscitation versus product ratio in mortality reduction.
J Am Coll Surg. 2009; (2): 198-205
Exsanguinating hemorrhage necessitating massive blood product transfusion is associated with high mortality rates. Recent data suggest that altering the fresh frozen plasma to packed red blood cell ratio (FFP:PRBC) results in significant mortality reductions. Our purpose was to evaluate mortality and blood product use in the context of a newly initiated massive transfusion protocol (MTP).
