Abstract
Initiating prehospital resuscitation with plasma in patients with trauma-associated hemorrhagic shock will result in more rapid and durable clot formation and, thus, the need for fewer packed cell infusions, less frequent use of cryoprecipitate, and more ventilator-free hospital days compared with those of patients randomized to standard crystalloid field resuscitation.
