Massive Transfusion Protocol

A Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized process used in hospitals to quickly provide large amounts of blood and blood products to patients experiencing severe bleeding, such as from trauma or surgery. It ensures coordinated and rapid delivery of blood, platelets, and clotting factors to stabilize the patient’s circulation and prevent complications like organ failure. The protocol helps healthcare teams work efficiently, reducing delays and improving survival chances during critical bleeding situations.
