Navigating Trauma Transfusion Protocols

This chapter explores the complexities and evolving practices in trauma-related blood transfusions, particularly focusing on the comparison between Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP), Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC), and whole blood therapies. The discussion includes historical contexts from military experiences and critiques of recent studies, addressing the implications of survival bias and uncertain outcomes from trials. Ultimately, the speakers emphasize the need for ongoing research to refine and optimize transfusion strategies for trauma patients.
