Traumacast

Authors Drs. Jason Sperry and Mark Yazer discuss the PAMPer trial — recently published in the New England Journal.  This important study adds randomized prospective evidence to the benefit of using blood products, and specifically plasma in the pre-hospital resuscitation of injured patients.  They discuss the overview of the trial and how it fits into the larger body of research into best resuscitation practices. Correction: In the original recording, Dr. Morris erroneously referred to Dr. Sperry as “assistant professor.”  Dr. Sperry is a full professor of surgery.  Apologies to Dr. Sperry for this mistake.
