This was a randomised controlled multisite study comparing resuscitation of trauma patients requiring massive transfusion using either 1:1::1 or 1:1:2 ratios of platelets to plasma to red blood cells.
FFP and platelets also contain citrate. Two randomized controlled trials by Moore et al found that prehospital plasma administration in trauma patients is associated with hypoCa (53% vs 36%). Ionised calcium levels in major trauma patients who received blood in the EmergencyDepartment. Emerg Med J.
