First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looked at whether giving whole blood (all blood parts together) works as well as giving separate blood products (red cells, plasma, platelets) to trauma patients with severe bleeding. About 200 adults with major injuries were included. The goal was to see if whole blood corrects bleeding problems just as effectively, which could make emergency care faster and simpler.
