  • Title: Massive Transfusion Protocol Simulation: An Innovative Approach to Team Training.
    Author: Langston A, Downing D, Packard J, Kopulos M, Burcie S, Martin K, Lewis B.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2017 Jun; 29(2):259-269. PubMed ID: 28460705.
    Abstract:
    At a 72-bed pediatric facility, a multidisciplinary team approach was used to prepare for the expansion of services for patients requiring spinal fusion. This preparation included emergency response requiring massive transfusion, necessitating the need for a Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) process to be in place. Such instances are low volume/high risk, creating difficulty for staff to gain and maintain proficiency with the equipment and processes related to the MTP in a secure environment. The purpose of this article is to highlight the preparation and education put into place before receiving the first pediatric patient for spinal fusion.
