Predictive Models and Algorithms for the Need of Transfusion Including Massive Transfusion in Severely Injured Patients

摘要

BackgroundDespite improvements on how to resuscitate exsanguinating patients, one remaining key to improve outcome is to expeditiously and reproducibly identify patients most likely to require transfusion including massive transfusion (MT). This work summarizes yet developed algorithms/scoring systems for transfusion including MT in civilian and military trauma populations.
