AB Haemostatic resuscitation with blood products has become the expected standard of care for trauma casualties. As UK Defence increases its deployment of small-scale, short-term training teams (STTTs) in Defence Engagement and influence operations, ever greater reliance is being placed on emergency donor panels (EDP) as a source of whole blood. This paper outlines the practical limitations of using EDPs as a risk mitigation in conventional STTTs which must be considered prior to every deployment.
