Podcast # 368: Prehospital Plasma

Author: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Non-blinded randomized study assessing 30-day mortality benefit from plasma-first resuscitation in patients at risk hemorrhagic shock
  • Study involved aeromedical transport of trauma patients
  • 30-day mortality 23.2 % in intervention group vs. 33.0% in standard care group

Editor's note: a similar study published in Lancet at the same time showed no mortality benefit from prehospital administration of plasma in a slightly different population which had much shorter ground transport times a major trauma center
