In light of the recent article in Critical Care demonstrating a linear relationship of the age of PRBCs to mortality and DVT incidence, I am going to see if we can look at this at our center.

Dear All,

Anyone has a working policy in your hospital to give fresher PRBC for trauma patients, let's say <14 day old?

Thanks,
