Podcast 59 - Trigger Happy (Transfusion Confusion) w/ Andrew Fisher

Summary: It has become a staple in HEMS to carry and deliver blood products to trauma patients who need them. Some agencies will carry plasma, packed red blood cells, and platelets. The majority will only carry packed red blood cells (PRBC's). From the curb this makes sense. If a patient is losing blood, we should replace it. However there is heterogeneous views on when this should be done and how.  www.foamfrat.com
