Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To test the hypothesis that a supply of frozen red blood cells and a system for processing pyrogen-free crystalloid solution would meet the needs of an echelon 3 medical treatment facility in the U.S. military, caring for casualties during the initial phase of a military medical operation. DATA SOURCES:Blood requirements for potential combat casualties were estimated from transfusion data on: (1) patients admitted to Boston City Hospital following trauma, utilizing a computerized data base, (2) patients admitted to the Naval Support Hospital-Da Nang during the Vietnam War, from 1966 to 1970, from published and unpublished material, and (3) casualties estimated by Department of Defense expert panels for specific conflicts. The procedure for processing frozen red blood cells was evaluated at the Naval Blood Research Laboratory. Estimates of wounded in action were provided by the Department of Defense. DATA SYNTHESIS:Computer modeling using standard spreadsheet software on a personal computer. CONCLUSIONS:Under military conditions, a frozen red blood cell bank and a system for processing pyrogen-free resuscitative fluid could be used to prepare 96 units of red cells and 960 1 of crystalloid solution per day. This would be adequate to treat approximately 180 casualties, the number projected for a 5-day battle with heavy casualties (6 wounded in action/1,000 soldiers/day). It was concluded that a frozen blood bank system and system for processing pyrogen-free resuscitative fluid could successfully meet the needs of an echelon 3 medical facility in the initial phase of a military medical operation.
