Trauma & major bleeding

Comprehensive analysis of coagulation factor delivery strategies in a cohort of trauma patients

Anaesth Crit Care Pain MedPublished Retrospective registry cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The main hemostatic strategy for major bleeding combined the administration of both FFP and FC, favoring an early additional supply of fibrinogen. Compliance with the recommendations was low in SH and MT subgroups.
