Dried plasma retains hemostatic function and thermal stability during Arctic military operations

BACKGROUND: Dried plasma offers a practical alternative for remote damage control resuscitation, providing hemostatic support and volume replacement. The Arctic presents challenges that necessitate the need for blood-based resuscitation to extend the "golden hour." To address this, we evaluated the hemostatic and thermal stability of dried plasma following exposure during military Arctic operations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: OctaplasLG powder …
