The impact of age and receipt antihypertensives to systolic blood pressure and shock index at injury scene and in the emergency department to predict massive transfusion in trauma patients

We aimed to determine whether the utility and cutoff point for SBP and SI are affected by age and antihypertensives. Methods This...
