Randomized Controlled TrialSeverity of hemorrhage and the survival benefit associated with plasma: Results from a randomized prehospital plasma trial.
Recent randomized clinical trial evidence demonstrated a survival benefit with the use of prehospital plasma in patients at risk of hemorrhagic shock. We sought to characterize the survival benefit associated with prehospital plasma relative to the blood transfusion volume over the initial 24 hours. We hypothesized that the beneficial effects of prehospital plasma would be most robust in those with higher severity of hemorrhage. ⋯ Therapeutic, Level I.
