Introduction: While balanced blood component therapy (BCT) is pivotal in trauma patient damage control resuscitation in well-resourced settings, disasters, and mass casualty incidents (MCIs) pose significant challenges, especially in securing sufficient access to blood products. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to explore the utilization of fresh whole blood (FWB) transfusion as a potential alternative to BCT, informing future research and clinical strategies.
Methods: We searched Pubmed, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and grey literature for articles identifying FWB transfusions, limited to those published in English or French.
In this paper, the isopropyl ester derivatives L and L of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid and bis(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid were used as chelators for the preparation of new Cu(i) phosphane complexes 1-4. They were synthesized by the reaction of [Cu(CHCN)]PF and triphenylphosphine or 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane with L and L ligands, in acetonitrile or acetonitrile/methanol solution. The authenticity of the compounds was confirmed by CHN analysis, H-, C- and P-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS).

Objectives: The SDMPH 10-year anniversary conference created an opportunity for a researcher to present at a professional association conference to advance their research by seeking consensus of statements using Delphi methodology.
Methods: Conference attendees and SDMPH members who did not attend the conference were identified as Delphi experts. Experts rated their agreement of each statement on a 7- point linear numeric scale.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of first responders in applying the START triage protocol during simulated mass casualty incidents and to identify factors influencing their performance and triage times.
- - Out of 1,090 simulated casualties, 83.6% were accurately triaged, with specific factors like heart rate and injury severity influencing overtriage, while factors like blood pressure were linked to undertriage.
- - The analysis also found that triage codes and the experience level of responders were significant in determining how quickly they could exit the scene after triaging patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the views of users and developers of the NIGHTINGALE toolkit about Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and benchmarks that help evaluate responses to Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs).
- It used focus group discussions with 31 participants from various countries to gather insights on KPIs and their relationship to user needs.
- Four main themes were identified: personal understanding of KPIs, the process of developing KPIs related to user requirements, the relationship between KPIs and benchmarks, and the gap in understanding between technical and medical professionals, highlighting the importance of structured KPI use for improving disaster response.
