Trauma Resuscitation Consideration: Sex Matters

Sex dimorphisms in coagulation have been recognized, but whole blood assessment of these dimorphisms and their relationship to outcomes in trauma have not been investigated. This study characterizes the viscoelastic hemostatic profile of severely injured patients by sex, and examines how sex-specific coagulation differences affect clinical outcomes, specifically, massive transfusion (MT) and death. We hypothesized that severely injured females...
