Hi, I'm Ellen at Cisco at Cincinnati Children's and here's another Absa article of interest that you should know about. The researchers here wanted to take a look at children with life threatening bleeding events and learn more about them because as we know, children are different than adults. They did a prospective observational study of children presenting with life threatening bleeding events across 24 centers between the US, Canada and Italy. Kids were eligible if they received more than 40 ccs per kilo of total blood products over six hours, or if they were transfused under massive transfusion protocol, or MTP. The authors compared patients presenting with traumatic bleeding, operative bleeding and medical bleeding. The authors found out a lot about this patient population.
