Background: Previous studies have called for the implementation of provider reeducation efforts to improve massive transfusion protocol adherence.
Objective: This quality improvement project implemented an educational module designed to increase anesthesia provider adherence to the hospital's massive transfusion protocol during the intraoperative massive transfusion of trauma patients. It also aimed to increase survival rates for trauma patients in the operating room for whom a massive transfusion protocol had been activated.
Background: Ongoing evaluation of massive transfusion protocol adherence is critical to ensure better trauma patient outcomes.
Objective: This quality improvement initiative aimed to determine provider adherence to a recently revised massive transfusion protocol and its relationship to clinical outcomes among trauma patients requiring massive transfusion.
Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, correlational design was used to determine the association between provider adherence to a recently revised massive transfusion protocol and clinical outcomes in trauma patients with hemorrhage treated at a Level I trauma center from November 2018 to October 2020.
