- Researchers have developed a geo-mapping model that helps cities deploy blood resources more efficiently by identifying areas with the greatest need for prehospital whole blood transfusions.
- The model uses data from hospitals and emergency medical service providers to map trauma incidence and correlate it with activation of massive transfusion protocols, enabling hospital systems to...
- According to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, statistical analysis showed strong correlations between massive transfusion protocol activation and trauma incidence, which...
Researchers have developed a geo-mapping model that helps cities deploy blood resources more efficiently by identifying areas with the greatest need for prehospital whole blood transfusions.
The model uses data from hospitals and emergency medical service providers to map trauma incidence and correlate it with activation of massive transfusion protocols, enabling hospital systems to position blood resources where they are most needed.
