TABLE 3.

Demographics and resuscitation by cause of death with Survivors shown for reference. There is a higher RBC:FFP ratio in the Exsanguination group as well as significantly higher crystalloid usage in the Late Collapse cohort. Additionally, all patients in the Early and Late Collapse cohorts received full MTP, while only 75% and 67.9% of exsanguination and non-survivable received full MTP.
