Formula of the day

Transfusion ratio for haemorrhagic shock when thromboelastography is unavailable: 5 Units RBCs, 5 units FFP, 1 adult dose platelets. (1:1:1 ratio in countries that do not have adult dose platelets)

Medical wisdom

Do not order tests that will not influence patient management.

Have your say

US should change clinical care in the ED only when it is performed by someone

With formal US credentials
Who meets ACEM US accreditation standards
Who is confident with their interpretation of suitable images
