Scott,
I am way behind in my FOAMed consumption. But just looking at the tables it looks like the 1;1:1 group was closer to 1:2:1. Not sure what that means, but interesting signal?
Scott, thanks much for asking the question about trauma resuscitation using crystalloids. I am constantly telling my staff about the recommendations for its use pre-hospital and this podcast helps. Thanks again
I work at a level 1 trauma center but I also moonlight at a community hospital (not a trauma center). At most community hospitals, you can probably get the patient transferred in the hour or so it will take your lab to thaw your FFP since most community hospitals won’t have pre-thawed plasma. You could probably get platelets in a quicker fashion but FFP will take time. The more progressive helicopter crews will have plasma on board but not all.

To me this study is like debating which blind landmark technique to use when inserting your CVC when the real questions are what is the best technique to follow when you use USS. We changed from a fixed ratio blind algorithm to ROTEM guided therapy for the major obstetric haemorrhage (3-4/week) in… Read more »
Love it as always. Ok group, am in a 28k square mile area with 2 trauma centers on opposite ends from each other. Which journals will best convince our local blood bank medical director to get on board with blood product admin-HEMS specific. YES, we are behind, but in desperate need to catch up. (Been carrying TXA for awhile. Would like to move forward.
