The Use of Whole Blood Transfusion During Non-Traumatic Resuscitation

CONCLUSION: In this retrospective study, WB was most commonly used for OBGYN-associated bleeding. As WB becomes more widespread across the USA for use in traumatically injured patients, it is likely that WB will be more commonly used for non-trauma patients. More outcome data are required to safely expand the indications for WB use beyond trauma.PMID:33856481 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab128
