Empirical transfusion strategies for major hemorrhage in trauma patients: A systematic review

CONCLUSION This project demonstrates that there is no significant clarity regarding morbidity and mortality. As a preliminary recommendation, cryoprecipitate supplementation suggests more favorable mortality over the current protocol. Due to the limited sample populations, we recommend the inclusion of retrospective/prospective cohort studies to bolster the statistical power of any future reviews until randomized control trials of sufficient power are available. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic review, Level III.
