Abstract
Purpose of review: This review illustrates the current benefits, limitations, ongoing research, and future paths for Low Titer O Whole Blood compared to Component Therapy in massive transfusion for trauma patients.
Recent findings: Many studies show that compared to Component Therapy, Low Titer O Whole Blood transfusion is associated with better patient outcomes and simplified transfusion logistics among others. There are, however, issues with cost, supply/demand and handling of Whole Blood that limit its use, but experience in the military setting has shown that these limitations can be easily overcome.
Summary: The use of Whole Blood has increased in the civilian trauma population and there is a growing body of evidence to support its current use. More research looking at Whole Blood in females of child-bearing age, pediatric populations, and cold-stored platelets is underway.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of anesthesiology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the delivery of anesthesia for surgical and medical procedures, treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions, perioperative management for operative and intensive care unit patients, and associated basic science and clinical research efforts in their areas. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include ambulatory anesthesia; anesthesia and inflammation; anesthetic mechanisms; anesthetic pharmacology; cardiovascular anesthesia; critical care anesthesia; local anesthetic pharmacology; monitoring technology; neuroanesthesia; neuromuscular blockade; obstetrical anesthesia; pain mechanisms; pain therapy; patient safety; pediatric anesthesia; quality assessment; regional anesthesia; and transplantation anesthesia.
