Abstract

Acute traumatic blood loss is life-threatening and increases the ?lethal triad? of hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis (Lim et al., 2018; Meneses et al., 2020). Death related to traumatic blood loss occurs most commonly in the first three to six hours after injury and is the leading cause of injury-related death (Hu et al., 2021). The aim of this collaborative quality improvement project was to identify and trend the average time to blood product delivery from MTP activation and time to transfusion after products are delivered with a standardized method. The goal was to identify the time to blood product delivery from MTP activation and time to transfusion from product delivery through standardized chart review of adult trauma related MTP activations. This improvement project was designed to address a deficit in quality-of-care data, and evidence-based practice at an academic level I trauma center.
