Abstract
Prehospital Plasma Resuscitation in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury
Highlights
In this issue of JAMA Network Open, Gruen and colleagues[1] report on the association between prehospital resuscitation with plasma and survival in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Does plasma resuscitation reduce deaths attributed to hemorrhage in patients with multiple trauma and TBI? And do patients without TBI truly derive no benefit?
Hypoperfusion, shock, and brain injury can all compromise the endothelium, leading to derangements in hemostasis that may be profound when severe TBI occurs with concomitant extracranial injuries.[5]
Summary
In this issue of JAMA Network Open, Gruen and colleagues[1] report on the association between prehospital resuscitation with plasma and survival in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study by Gruen and colleagues[1] is important because it shows that a routinely available intervention may be associated with substantial improvement in TBI survival.
