In this small retrospective study comparing outcomes before and after a prehospital blood administration protocol for penetrating trauma was initiated, the authors found improved survival in those receiving prehospital blood despite a five minute longer on scene time in those receiving blood. Also note TXA was part of the blood protocol but not the control group.
