The effectiveness of massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) has been assumed from low quality studies with multiple biases. This review aimed to (i) evaluate the association between the institution of an MTP and mortality and (ii) determine the effect of MTPs on transfusion practice post trauma.

Ten‐year evolution of a massive transfusion protocol in a level 1 trauma centre: have outcomes improved?
TLDR
The effect of the introduction of an MTP in an Australian level 1 trauma centre is examined to evaluate the evolution and implementation of the massive transfusion protocol (MTP) in an urban level 1 traumat centre.
Massive Transfusion Protocol: a local two years' experience.
TLDR
A short presentation of the implementation of a local MTP for trauma and nontrauma massively bleeding patients and a critical analysis of the actual data supporting MTP implementation are proposed.

TLDR
Pat characteristics, transfusion support and clinical outcomes from the Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry (ANZ‐MTR) are described.

Management of Blunt Solid Organ Injuries: the Indian Society for Trauma and Acute Care (ISTAC) Consensus Guidelines
TLDR
With an aim to standardise the treatment of solid organ injuries in blunt abdominal trauma, Indian Society for Trauma and Acute Care (ISTAC®) formulated consensus guidelines to benefit doctors engaged in trauma care in the country.
State of the art: massive transfusion
TLDR
In recent MT literature, there was an increased focus on massively haemorrhaging non‐trauma patients, the role of acute traumatic coagulopathy, the use of thromboelastography (TEG), and the impact of MTPs on blood product waste and efficiency of product delivery.
Long-Term Outcomes of Patients Receiving a Massive Transfusion After Trauma
TLDR
Unfavorable long-term outcomes among patients receiving a massive transfusion after trauma were frequent with a substantial proportion of survivors experiencing poor functional status 1 year after injury.

TLDR
Implementation of massive transfusion protocol is associated with a higher use of fresh frozen plasma and improved ratio of freshrozen plasma:red blood cell toward the targeted 1:1 and decreased use of crystalloids.

Experience with a massive transfusion protocol in the management of massive haemorrhage
TLDR
A massive transfusion response was introduced in 2007 to provide blood and blood products in a timelier manner and whether implementation of the MTR was associated with a change in clinical practice or mortality was determined.
The status of massive transfusion protocols in United States trauma centers: massive transfusion or massive confusion?
TLDR
The use of massive transfusion protocol (MTP) utilization and makeup is unknown and the risks and benefits to patients and the environment are unknown.
Massive transfusion in trauma: blood product ratios should be measured at 6 hours
TLDR
The study aim was to examine the effect of a massive transfusion protocol (MTP) on early (6 h) balanced component therapy.
Effect of Haemostatic Control Resuscitation on mortality in massively bleeding patients: a before and after study
TLDR
The aim was to determine the effect of changing the transfusion practice on 30‐day survival in massively bleeding patients.

Predefined massive transfusion protocols are associated with a reduction in organ failure and postinjury complications.
TLDR
Although MT has been associated with higher organ failure and complication rates, this risk appears to be reduced when blood products are delivered early in the resuscitation through a predefined protocol.
Massive transfusion protocols: the role of aggressive resuscitation versus product ratio in mortality reduction.
Room for (performance) improvement: provider-related factors associated with poor outcomes in massive transfusion.
TLDR
Early activation of a MT protocol and achieving predefined ratios was associated with improved survival and a multidisciplinary PI process helps to identify provider/specialty noncompliance and to assess the impact of these factors, and it was associatedWith improvement in compliance and MT outcomes over time.
Blood product ratio in acute traumatic coagulopathy - effect on mortality in a Scandinavian level 1 trauma centre
TLDR
Aggressive administration of FFP and PLT did not influence mortality in the present trauma population and no association was fund between blood product ratios and mortality.
Improvements in early mortality and coagulopathy are sustained better in patients with blunt trauma after institution of a massive transfusion protocol in a civilian level I trauma center.
TLDR
In the civilian setting, aggressive use of FFP and platelets drastically reduces 24-hour mortality and early coagulopathy in patients with trauma and reduction in 30 day mortality was only seen after blunt trauma in this small subset of patients.
