Optimizing blood bank resources when implementing a low‐titer group O+ whole blood program: an in silico study

INTRODUCTION Low‐titer group O+ whole blood (LTOWB) is becoming commonly used in massive bleeding resuscitation, but the impact on blood center O+ RBCs has not been studied. This in silico model simulated a variety of different LTOWB production and utilization patterns. METHODS Collections and distributions data from a large blood collector were scaled to vary the total number of O+ red blood cell (RBC) collections, the O+ RBC collection: import...
