Abstract
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death in both military and civilian trauma care.1,2 The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have recommended integration of military and civilian trauma care into a national trauma system to achieve the aim of zero preventable deaths after injury,3 compelling advances in the treatment of life-threatening hemorrhage.Keywords
