Would you want to be enrolled in a trauma study without consent if it could save your life? New findings from Canada suggest that trust in prehospital care is high, but support for deferred or waived research consent is conditional. Read the study: bit.ly/4uwM42d

Blood donors taking PrEP are currently deferred. But some may donate without disclosing it. As PrEP use grows, blood services are weighing a complex question: Should donated blood be tested for antiretroviral drugs? bit.ly/4bIEvxE

Whole blood resuscitation is well studied in trauma. But what about non-trauma hemorrhage? Researchers from @WakeForestMed examined 331 patients. The findings suggest whole blood can be safely used in severely hemorrhaging non-trauma patients. 👉 bit.ly/4cTarS5

Thank you, @ADM_Christine, for highlighting the urgent need for blood donations. 🩸 Giving blood is a simple act that makes a big difference for patients in need of a transfusion. Find a donor center near you: bit.ly/3Tx2FRI
ADM Brian Christine, MD@ADM_Christine

As a physician, I’ve seen how lifesaving donated blood can be. Right now, blood supplies are low, with some communities having only a one- to two-day supply. I donated recently, and if you’re eligible, I hope you’ll join me. One donation can save up to three lives. Watch and learn how you can help.

Did you know that @US_FDA updated blood donor screening in 2023 to remove gender-based questions? Blood donors are now evaluated using an individual assessment, focusing on behaviors within the past three months rather than gender or sexual orientation. bit.ly/4ba2Gq5
