Description
Summary:Introduction Prehospital blood product resuscitation after injury significantly decreases risk of mortality. However, the number of patients who may potentially benefit from this life‐saving intervention is currently unknown. The primary objective of this study was to estimate the number of patients who may potentially benefit from prehospital blood product resuscitation after injury in the United States. The secondary objective was to estimate the amount of blood products needed for prehospital resuscitation of injured patients. Methods Patients ≥16 years with blunt/penetrating injuries included in National Emergency Medical Services Information System 2019 were identified and classified into four separate cohorts of hemodynamic instability: Cohort 1 (systolic blood pressure [SBP]
