Blood transfusion trends in trauma: what worked and what Didn't?
NCT ID NCT07603999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at the medical records of 137 severely injured trauma patients who needed large blood transfusions between 2020 and 2025. Researchers analyzed how different transfusion strategies, such as balanced ratios and whole blood use, affected 30-day survival and other outcomes. The goal was to identify which practices may improve care for future trauma patients.
