20 April 2022 (Wednesday) - Transfusion Evidence Alert Update

A few days ago I posted a link to an article saying that air ambulances zooming round brandishing bags of blood at trauma cases didn’t actually improve outcomes. Today’s missive from the nice people at Transfusion Evidence Alert also agreed with that sentiment.
