The SWiFT trial (Study of Whole Blood in Frontline Trauma)—the clinical and cost effectiveness of pre-hospital whole blood versus standard care in patients with life-threatening traumatic haemorrhage: study protocol for a multi-centre randomised controlled trial

Abstract:: Complex cardiac surgery is one of the largest users of blood component stocks with approximately 20 to 40% of patients needing a transfusion during their hospital stay. Transfusion risk is increased further with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, associated with a multifactorial coagulopathy and increased microvascular bleeding post bypass. Residual anticoagulation and anti-platelet agents in this patient group can also contribute to the haemostatic imbalance. Plasma transfusion is a key trea...
