Abstract

A high ratio of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to packed red blood cells (PRBC) is currently recognised as the standard of care in some centres during massive transfusion post trauma. The aim of this study was to test whether the presumption of benefit held true for severely injured patients who received a massive transfusion, but did not present with acute traumatic coagulopathy.
