Abstract

The evidence for the lifesaving benefits of prehospital transfusions is increasing. As such, emergency medical services (EMS) might increasingly become interested in providing this important intervention. While a few EMS and air medical agencies have been providing exclusively red blood cell (RBC) transfusions to their patients for many years, transfusing plasma in addition to the RBCs, or simply using low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) in place of two separate components, will be a novel experience for many services. The recommendations presented in this document were created by the Trauma, Hemostasis and Oxygenation Research (THOR)-AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks) Working Party, and they are intended to provide a framework for implementing prehospital blood transfusion programs in line with the best available evidence. These recommendations cover all aspects of such a program including storing, transporting, and transfusing blood products in the prehospital phase of hemorrhagic resuscitation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 32. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 October 2023.
All research outputs
#1,271,222
of 25,698,912 outputs
Outputs from Prehospital Emergency Care
#84
of 1,572 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#30,121
of 516,990 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Prehospital Emergency Care
#1
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,698,912 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,572 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 516,990 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
