Heidi Doughty talking on transfusion challenges in the military. Many civilian lessons to be learnt #F2F2017
Pre hospital transfusion is big. Is this necessary in civilian practice? #F2F2017
.@RePHILL_trial study may provide answers. Currently recruiting in West Mids &elsewhere #F2F2017
Whole blood for trauma haemorrhage- easy administration, limit donor exposure are pros #F2F2017
Cons are haemolysins, plt function post leucodepletion &storage of plt at 4C #F2F2017
BUT are cold platelets actually more active at time of transfusion? #F2F2017
& what is the life span of clotting factors in the plasma of WB? (I.e. Never frozen plasma) #F2F2017
Whole blood needs to be considered in context of capability of transfusing at scene ¬ just component itself #F2F2017
Storage of WB likely to be limited to 14 days. Can the #haemSpRs give the shelf life of red cells as single component (in UK)? #F2F2017
