Title: Low titer O whole blood use

Category: Trauma

Keywords: Whole blood, trauma center level (PubMed Search)

Posted: 3/22/2026 by Robert Flint, MD (Updated: 7/21/2026)

Looking at a national database, this study concluded the use of low titer O whole blood during trauma resuscitations  was increasing at level one centers but not at level 2 and 3 centers. Is this a representation of the national blood supply as whole blood is harder to stock? We need to understand this trend to assure equal and appropriate care to trauma patients across the country.
