LTOWB is preferentially used by the CSAR instead of red blood cell units and freeze\u2010dried plasma (FDP) for patients with signs of hemorrhagic shock. Ten percent of group O donors were eligible to donate LTOWB as they had anti\u2010A and \u2010B IgM titers of &lt;50.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>All patients treated by CSAR providers with LTOWB between July 2018 and June 2019 were included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Between July 2018 and June 2019, eight patients have received 10 units of LTOWB. All patients suffered blunt injuries, 6 out of 8 (75%) of whom were due to motor vehicle accidents. Four patients (4 out of 8, 50%) received a single LTOWB unit, two patients (2 out of 8, 25%) received two units. Two pediatric patients received fewer than one unit of LTOWB. Median (range) heart rate was 130 (30\u2010150) bpm, median systolic blood pressure was 107 (80\u2010124) mmHg, and median Glasgow coma scale was 8 (on a scale of 3\u201015). For four (4 out of 8, 50%) patients, LTOWB was the only blood product used for volume resuscitation.
