Average PRBC use was 7.2 ± 6.6 units and fresh frozen plasma use 4.3 ± 5.2 units. Thirty-nine percent (25/64) had a pelvic ring injury or acetabular fracture. Thirty-seven percent (24/64) had at least one femoral shaft fracture. Twenty patients had a total of 23 tibia fractures. Conclusions: Orthopaedic trauma patients consume the majority of the blood products <24 hours among blunt trauma patients. This resource-intensive group requires frequent urgent surgical interventions and intensive care unit admission.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:50 AEDT ]]>
