Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of a transfusion protocol using viscoelastic hemostatic assays on trauma patients to reduce bleeding-related deaths.
- Implementing this protocol led to an increased use of fibrinogen concentrate and a decreased reliance on blood products like plasma and packed red blood cells.
- Outcomes for patients receiving only fibrinogen concentrate showed fewer complications, such as pneumonia and multiorgan failure, compared to other treatment groups.
