Safety profile of uncrossmatched, cold‐stored, low‐titer, group O+ whole blood in civilian trauma patients

The use of cold‐stored low‐titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) for civilian trauma patients is gaining popularity. However, hemolysis might occur among non–group O recipients. This study evaluated the serologic safety of transfusing up to 4 units of LTOWB.
