Summary
This study tested whether giving whole blood to injured patients with severe bleeding before they reach the hospital can save more lives than standard care. Over 1,000 adults at risk of hemorrhagic shock were enrolled across 10 trauma centers. The goal was to see if whole blood reduces deaths within 30 days and to understand how the age of the blood affects its effectiveness.
