Whole Blood Administration for Obstetric-Related Hemorrhage During Prehospital Transport

CONCLUSION: Whole blood can be successfully administered both in and out of the hospital setting, even for obstetric hemorrhage. The benefits of easily administered balanced resuscitation, limited donor exposure, and improved patient outcomes likely outweigh potential alloimmunization, especially in resource-limited settings. Addressing concerns of alloimmunization cannot be accomplished without more research, and we encourage others to investigate using whole blood in this population.PMID:37562035 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005320
