Take the Confusion Out of Meds for Massive Transfusions
August 2026
Summer months mark “trauma season”...and a time to teach pharmacy students and residents about massive transfusion protocols (MTPs).
Clarify that MTPs are used for patients with (or at risk of) hemorrhagic shock. MTP cases require large amounts of blood, such as 10 or more units of red blood cells (RBCs) within 24 hr...or 3 units in 1 hr.
Specify that RBC, plasma, and platelet units are typically given in a 1:1:1 ratio to mimic whole blood, replace volume, and support clotting.
