Blood Transfusions
Question #1
Multi-choice
You are the only physician on call at a rural community hospital in
Northern Ontario. One of the nurses calls you at home to tell you that
patient has been brought into the Emergency Department with a stab
wound to the groin. There is obvious ongoing arterial bleeding, he is
hypotensive and his oxygen saturation is dropping quickly. Knowing
nothing about the patient, what type of blood do you order for
transfusion as you make your way to the hospital?
