Article Synopsis
- Blood plays a vital role in expeditionary casualty care, with low-titer O whole blood being the preferred universal product, though it is often in short supply.
- The study estimates the potential impact of type-specific whole blood (TSWB) on blood supply based on historical demand during U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and production data from a specific blood distribution center.
- Results indicate that adding type A TSWB could boost whole blood production by 11.1% monthly, with TSWB expected to be used in over 20% of transfusion-required military casualties, suggesting that TSWB could significantly enhance blood availability for future needs.
