Counting who could get blood transfusions before arriving at hospital
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how many people with major injuries could receive a blood transfusion before reaching the hospital. It is an observational study, meaning it only looks at existing care—no new treatment is given. The goal is to understand who might benefit from earlier blood transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have been cared for by an emergency medical team (mobile intensive care unit) at the scene of your injury.
- Your injury must be major and require transport to an emergency room or intensive care unit, or you may have been declared dead during care.
- You must not have been transferred from one hospital to another (your care must start at the scene).
- You must not have only a severe head injury with no other major body injuries.

This trial looks at how seriously injured patients were referred to a trauma center in 2023. It aims to understand if the right patients were sent to the right place quickly using an emergency medical team (MICU).
This study is looking at how the brain, bone marrow, and gut interact after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand how to better treat trauma patients.
This study looks at two simple blood test markers (PLR and PNR) to see how well they predict hidden injuries in trauma patients. If you've had a recent injury and your blood is tested in the ER, you may be able to join.
This trial compares giving whole blood versus standard care in adults with severe trauma and dangerous blood loss (hemorrhagic shock). The goal is to see if whole blood helps stabilize patients faster and improves outcomes after major bleeding.
This study looks at how the body’s blood-related immune system “switches on” in unusual ways after a major injury or elective hip repair. The researchers hope this helps them understand who is at risk for complications and why, by measuring changes in your blood around the time of surgery or hospital treatment.
This trial studies how bone marrow and blood-making cells may behave after severe trauma or after elective (planned) hip surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide better care.
