Total quality management in blood transfusion.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Early prediction of massive transfusion (MT) post-trauma may reduce mortality by earlier delivery of blood products. A clinical prediction tool (PWH score) for this purpose was developed at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong. The aims of this study were to apply this tool to major trauma ...
