Article Synopsis
- The study examined how a major haemorrhage protocol (MHP) affects the use of blood products in children with major trauma and massive blood loss in a Melbourne pediatric trauma center.
- Over six years, 47 out of 767 major trauma patients received blood products, but none achieved the optimal 1:1:1 ratio of red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets during any time period.
- The researchers concluded that the MHP did not significantly change blood product ratios due to the rare occurrence of massive blood loss, suggesting future research should explore treatment for coagulopathy and hypofibrinogenaemia.
