Prospective Analysis Of Outcomes In Non-Trauma Massive Transfusion

Massive transfusion protocols have been widely implemented and focus on ratio-based resuscitation.  Although utilized for all massively bleeding patients, the data are predominantly derived from trauma, which has a unique, endogenous coagulopathy.  We are prospectively studying whether these trauma-derived ratios improve outcomes in non-trauma patients or if alternative strategies should be pursued.
