Description
Jason Rall and co-authors test whole blood transfusion in a pig trauma model in a 2026 study. Thirty-two pigs received fracture, liver injury, and controlled blood loss. A thirty-minute shock period followed the injuries.
Whole blood is returning to trauma care, but survival results are mixed. Component therapy is the main alternative in hospitals. Citrate exposure from stored blood can drop calcium levels. The team tied citrate, calcium dosing, and stability to survival. Animals were assigned at random to transfusion plans. Readers learn which chemical details may decide whether whole blood saves or harms.
