Table 2.

If MTP Triggers are met, initiate DCR:
  • Begin universal blood product infusion rather than crystalloid or colloid solutions

  • Transfuse universal RBC and plasma in a ratio between 1:1 and 1:2 (plasma to RBC).

  • Transfuse one single donor apheresis or random donor platelet pool for each six units of RBC.

  • Blood products should be automatically sent by the transfusion service in established ratios

  • Subsequent coolers should be delivered at 15-minute intervals until the MTP has been terminated

  • The goal is to keep at least one MTP cooler ahead for the duration of the MTP activation.
