ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how many patients who have suffered serious injuries, known as major trauma, could benefit from receiving blood transfusions before they reach the hospital. Researchers want to gather information that could help support the idea of giving blood products to patients right at the scene of the accident, rather than waiting until they arrive at the hospital.

To take part in this study, participants need to be adults over 18 years old who are receiving care from a specialized medical team for severe injuries. This includes patients who need to be transported to an emergency room or those who have sadly passed away while in care. The study is currently not recruiting participants, but it aims to collect data to improve trauma care in the future. It's important to know that some patients, like those with certain types of head injuries or those who didn't receive resuscitation, won't be eligible for this trial.
