Completed Disease control Sponsor: Jason Sperry Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This large trial tested whether giving injured patients whole blood (instead of standard fluids) in the ambulance could better control bleeding and save lives. It involved over 1,000 patients with life-threatening bleeding from trauma, transported to major trauma centers. Researchers compared survival rates and complications between those who received the whole blood treatment and those who received standard emergency care.
