Summary

In this update to the 7 T’s of Massive Hemorrhage Protocols with Dr. Jeannie Callum and Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak, we explore the most current, evidence-informed strategies for bleeding patients, from polytrauma to obstetrical, drawing on the latest clinical trial data and real-world experience. We answer the questions: What is the evidence based alternative to FFP in EDs where FFP is not readily available? How accurate are decision scores in helping decide the trigger for MHP activation? Why is testing fibrinogen levels and giving fibrinogen concentrates so important in massive hemorrhage? How should we tailor our MHP to the GI bleed patient? To the obstetrical patient? and many more... Please donate to EM Cases to ensure ongoing Free Open Access Medical Education at https://emergencymedicinecases.com/donation/.

Massive hemorrhage or bleeding out is one of the most time-sensitive, high-stakes

scenarios we face in emergency medicine. Whether it's from trauma, obstetrics,

throwing blood products at the patient, it's about coordinated,
